  • Publication number: 20220349198
    Abstract: A wave generator pool that may be used for surfing, which has reefs configured to provide a variety of novel wave shapes. Reefs may have multiple sections with varying angles, causing the shape or direction of the wave to change as a surfer rides the wave. One or more embodiments of the pool may have two basins that share a common wave generator, resulting in substantial energy savings. An illustrative dual basin pool may have an intermediate basin on one side and a beginner basin on the other. The intermediate basin may have an easy takeoff reef section with a reef angle between 65 and 85 degrees. The beginner basin may have several isolated takeoff reef sections where a corresponding number of surfers can await a wave. Reefs may be constructed and reconfigured using a modular reef structure that avoids the months of downtime associated with rebuilding fixed reefs.

  • Publication number: 20180275078
    Abstract: A process for preparing alternative fuels so that it is acceptable for use in cement plants and other manufacturing processes is detailed. This includes a material analyzer that can detect trace contaminants in alternative fuels. This new analyzer, combined with an associated method of processing the alternative fuels allows users to blend the fuel to ensure that it is acceptable for plant operations.
