Abstract: An assembly for processing green biomass material for pelletizing into a fuel pellet includes a heating assembly, a drying assembly and a cooling assembly. The heating assembly heats a thermal fluid to a temperature within the range of 200° F. to 550° F. The drying assembly includes a rotating dryer drum that has a plurality of thermal fluid tubes therein. Material that is dried in the dryer drum is conveyed to a rotating cooling drum that has a cooling tube extending along the interior thereof. A nozzle is mounted on the end of the cooling tube to discharge cooling fluid on the material therein, and a plurality of flights are mounted on the interior of the cooling drum and arranged to direct material from the inlet to the discharge outlet as the cooling drum is rotated.

Abstract: A system and method for providing wireless service includes a user device and a service provider. The service provider communicates the advertisement to the user device. The user device has a display control module that generates a first screen display at the user device comprising the advertisement and a lockout module that locks at least some device functions. The user device includes a user interface that interacts with the advertisement on the first screen display and allows access to the data or voice function. The service provider may provide a wireless service plan having a rate based upon receiving advertisements and interacting with the advertisements.

Abstract: A dentifrice closure on a dentifrice tube can emit a signal upon the opening of the closure to dispense some of the dentifrice. The closure is comprised of a base portion to attach the closure to the dentifrice tube and a lid portion that closes the dispensing opening of the dentifrice tube and which contains switch timer and signal generator. The signal generator can be a light, but preferably is a sound generator, and most preferably a music generator. Upon the lid being opened, a switch activates the timer which in turn activates the signal generator. Regardless of the position of the switch after a lid opening (the lid can be quickly closed) the signal will be emitted for a set period of time.

Abstract: The container of this invention has an increased strength in compression. When filled and with a closure the containers can withstand greater compressive force without a resulting deflection. This permits the use of a lighter weight and less costly shipper carton. The containers have a substantially rigid base, and except for rigidifying recesses, a substantially planar base. Further, the sidewalls of the container are substantially devoid of recesses and projections, and particularly, in the region of the base of the container. In addition, the sidewalls have a slight outward taper from an area at an upper part of the sidewall to the base of the container.
