  • Singulating vibration feeder
    Patent number: 10259656
    Abstract: The problem of singulating oblong articles that are unloaded in an arbitrary orientation onto a conveyor has been solved in that the conveying trough is divided into a central, lower part and surrounding upwards-and-outwards extending parts, whereby the central part vibrates with a longitudinal amplitude that is higher than that of the upwards-and-outwards extending parts at the same frequency.
    Type: Grant

  • Singulating vibration feeder
    Patent number: 10160603
    Abstract: The problem of singulating oblong articles (1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b) that are unloaded in an arbitrary orientation onto a conveyor has been solved in that the conveying trough (4) is divided into a central, lower part (5) and surrounding upwards-and-outwards extending parts (6, 7), whereby the central part (5) vibrates with a longitudinal amplitude that is higher than that of the upwards-and-outwards extending parts (6, 7) at the same frequency.

  • Microwave heating apparatus for heating a flowing fluid
    Patent number: 5719380
    Abstract: An apparatus for heating a flowing fluid with microwave energy comprising a conduit having an inlet portion, an outlet portion, and a retention portion wherein at least the retention portion of the conduit is fabricated from a material which is substantially microwave transparent. A temperature probe is provided for measuring the temperature of the flowing fluid in the outlet portion. The cross-sectional area of the retention portion is substantially greater than the cross-sectional area of the outlet portion such that the flow rate through the retention portion is slower than the flow rate through the outlet portion from the retention portion to the temperature probe. Microwave energy is used to heat the flowing fluid in the retention portion, the microwave energy being generated by a source which is controlled in response to a signal from the temperature probe. The retention portion of the conduit resides within a wave guide and passes transversely therethrough.
