Publication number: 20240114838Abstract: A separator for a crop harvester configured to harvest sugarcane. The separator includes an extractor body that defines a chamber, the chamber extending through the extractor body and is in fluid communication with a cavity of a fan housing. The extractor body can generally define an inlet opening of the chamber, the inlet opening positioned to allow chopped billets and crop residue that are outputted from a chopper assembly to enter into the chamber. The inlet opening has a non-round, or non-circular configuration and/or cross sectional shape. Further, the inlet opening can have a width similar to a material flow width of the chopped billets and crop residue being outputted from the chopper assembly. Such a configuration can eliminate dead zones with respect to air flow that is to pull the chopped crop materials into the chamber and/or to separate crop residue from the chopped billets.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Matthew J. Hansen, Dusk S. Mixon, Todd J. Rodrigue, Mark S. Louviere, Jae-Jae Young

Patent number: 10207276Abstract: A small area electrostatic aerosol collector combines electrostatic collection of aerosol particles and electrohydrodynamic spraying of fluid so that a sample collected electrostatically can have fluid applied thereto. The fluid may assist with disaggregation and/or desalinization of biological material collected onto a sample substrate. A controller associated with the collector may control an electrostatic charge device and a spraying device such that the charge device and spraying device may operate in alternating fashion, or the charge device and spraying device may operate simultaneously. Further, mechanical systems are provided, for the disaggregation of particulate clusters collected onto a sample substrate.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2015Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTEInventors: Andrew P.

Patent number: 9566478Abstract: A golf club with a golf club head having non-metallic fasteners is presented. The club head may include a face member, a body member, a sole member and a crown member. The various portions of the club head may be connected using mechanical fasteners, such as screws. In some arrangements, the screws may be formed of a non-metallic material, such as a composite material, in order to reduce weight associated with the club head. In some arrangements, a portion of the mechanical fasteners may be formed of a non-metallic material and may be placed in regions of the club head where reduced weight is desired, while another portion of the fasteners may be formed of metal or other heavier material and may be placed in regions where additional weight may be desired.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Robert Boyd, Matthew S. Young, Mark J. Perry, Megan Sesslar Moore
