  • Patent number: 9828186
    Abstract: A guide rail system for guiding containers moved by a conveyor defining a path with a straight or curved segment. The guide rail system is adjustable such that by engaging a single mechanism, the distance between a pair of rails (one rail on each side of the conveyor) is changed across multiple conveyor segments (straight and/or curved). The invention provides an adjustable guide rail system for use in connection with a conveying surface capable of moving with respect to the guide rail system.

  • Publication number: 20170166402
    Abstract: A transfer conveyor for transferring conveyed items between two main conveyors, each having a flexible conveying surface reeved about an end sprocket that is large with respect to the conveyed items. The transfer conveyor includes a deck having two ends, each having a nose bar. At least one tensioning idler wheel is slidably mounted to the transfer conveyor frame, and a drive wheel is rotatably mounted to the frame. A transfer conveyor belt is routed about the drive wheel, over the tensioning idler wheel, over the deck, and back to the drive wheel. A dead plate is positioned between one of the nose bars and one of the main conveyors, at a level even with the top of the belt. The deck is expandable, formed of two interlaced finger plates, each having a respective nose bar at one end and finger(s) extending away from the nose bar.

  • Patent number: 9052276
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for determining the location, composition and concentration of a hydrocarbon containing plume in environmental seawater. These systems and methods disclosed use multiple complex admittance measurements from seawater in order to identify the contents, concentration, and location of the hydrocarbon containing plume. In preferred variations system includes a sensor array that substantially simultaneously records plume location, depth, and composition.

  • Publication number: 20090081302
    Abstract: The present invention provides spray-dried polyene compositions for oral inhalation to the lung. The polyene antifungal compositions demonstrate superior aerosol properties, do not exhibit appreciable degradation of the polyene upon spray-drying, and are useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of both pulmonary and systemic fungal infections.
