  • Patent number: 11813718
    Abstract: A shot peening efficiency system for separating reusable abrasive media from non-reusable media includes a housing having an opening configured to receive an abrasive media inlet valve; and a separator assembly disposed within the housing, the separator assembly comprising at least one mesh screen and at least one vibratory motor. The housing includes a main channel having a first channel for reusable abrasive media and a second channel for non-reusable abrasive media. The separator assembly is configured to separate reusable abrasive media from non-reusable abrasive media by passing the reusable abrasive media via the first channel and by passing the non-reusable abrasive media via the second channel. The first channel terminates at a reusable abrasive media outlet valve connected to at least one first abrasive media hopper; the second channel terminates at an abrasive media discard outlet valve connected to at least one second abrasive media hopper.

  • Patent number: 4148748
    Abstract: A nonreversible freeze-thaw indicator which will detect whether an article has been subjected to freezing or thawing conditions comprising an encapsulated translucent to opaque colloidal dispersion of organic solid particles suspended in a liquid medium, said colloidal dispersion having the property of becoming nonreversibly destablized upon freezing which thereafter provides a telltale visual sign if said dispersion rises through its freeze-thaw temperature. After the colloidal dispersion has once been frozen to trigger its irreversible destabilization and is again thawed, it coagulates to form a non-flowing waxy gel, flocculates and precipitates leaving a clear liquid and a coagulated solids layer or partially flocculates to transform a translucent dispersion to a substantially opaque dispersion.
