Publication number: 20230340638Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and methods for extracting a target element, such as lithium, from a brine. For example, some aspects include a method of extracting lithium including mixing a first brine with an extraction agent to form a first solution having a lithium complex, the lithium complex including lithium bound to the extraction agent. The method can further include extracting the lithium from the first solution and recycling the extraction agent to be used in a further extraction process. In some aspects, extracting the lithium from the first solution includes adsorbing, via an adsorbent media, the lithium complex from the first solution, removing the lithium complex from the adsorbent media, and separating the lithium from the extraction agent in the lithium complex.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: PRODUCED WATER ABSORBENTS INC.Inventors: Amanda REICHERT, Caleb SMATHERS, Peter M.

Patent number: 6415697Abstract: A slitting assembly (10) in the preferred form of a rotary cutter includes a shaft (50) upon which relatively thin, large diameter annular blades (56) are slid and held in place on the shaft by relatively large diameter hubs (60). An axial bore (54) is provided through the shaft (50) for circulating a coolant in fluid communication therewith by rotary joints (74, 78). Thus, the blades (56) are cooled below ambient temperature by conduction through hubs (60) and shaft (50) for imparting continuous longitudinal cuts in a band (12) of fat-free brownie products having an internal temperature higher than ambient. The outer periphery of the blades (56) rotate against a back-up roll (22) rotatable about a parallel axis below the band (12). Scrapers (30, 70) are provided to remove any product sticking to the back-up roll (22) and the axial faces of the blades (56).Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1998Date of Patent: July 9, 2002Assignee: General Mills, Inc.Inventors: Douglas J. Brash, Barrie R. Froseth, S. Ganesh Ganesan, Loren J. Gordon, Peter M. Smith

Patent number: 5894775Abstract: A slitting assembly (10) is disclosed in the preferred form of a rotary cutter including a shaft (50) upon which relatively thin, large diameter annular blades (56) are slid. Relatively large diameter hubs (60) are provided having inner surfaces for receipt on the shaft (50) and having axial ends which flushly abut with the axial faces of the blades (56) for holding the blades (56) in axially spaced relations on the shaft (50). An axial bore (54) is provided through the shaft (50) for circulating a coolant in fluid communication therewith by rotary unions (74, 78). Thus, the blades (56) are cooled below ambient temperature by conduction through hubs (60) and shaft (50) for imparting continuous longitudinal cuts in a band (12) of fat-free brownie products having an internal temperature higher than ambient. The outer periphery of the blades (56) rotate against a back-up roll (22) rotatable about a parallel axis below the band (12).Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1996Date of Patent: April 20, 1999Assignee: General Mills, Inc.Inventors: Douglas J.

Patent number: 5450137Abstract: This specification concerns signal processing apparatus for processing line synchronization pulses in a line synchronization signal that define an analog video signal line period. The apparatus comprises a phase locked loop (40) for generating a clock signal of a frequency that is a multiple of the line synchronization signal frequency. The phase locked loop (40) comprises a counter (100) for dividing the clock signal by said multiple. The apparatus further comprises logic (110,50) for resetting the counter (100) upon detection of a spurious pulse introducing a time interval into the line synchronization signal of less than the line period of the video signal. The apparatus is particularly useful in image processing systems for digitizing analog video signals that have been replayed via a conventional, domestic video tape player, and therefore may comprise spurious line sync pulses introduced by playback head skip.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 1993Date of Patent: September 12, 1995Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas W. Rickard, Peter M. Smith, David C. Conway-Jones, David J. Brown

Patent number: 5379399Abstract: A controller for a first in first out (FIFO) memory comprises detector logic for detecting any difference between the number of addresses in the memory into which data is written and the number of addresses in the memory from which data is read. Comparator logic connected to the detector logic generates a request data transfer signal in response to said difference becoming greater than or equal to a threshold. Threshold select logic connected to the comparator logic is responsive to data having first and second portions being written to the memory. The threshold select logic sets the threshold to a first value when the first portion is being written and sets the threshold to a second value, greater than the first value, when the second portion is being written.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 1992Date of Patent: January 3, 1995Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David C. Conway-Jones, Peter M. Smith

Patent number: 5351093Abstract: Signal processing apparatus comprises a chrominance subsampler (10) for sampling the U and V components of a PAL video signal in response to an enable signal. A counter (30) responsive to the horizontal synchronization component of the PAL video signal generates the enable signal upon detection of a predetermined number of horizontal synchronization pulses. Logic (60,70,80) responsive to the vertical synchronization component of the PAL video signal resets and disables the counter (30) upon detection of a vertical synchronization pulse. Logic (50,60,70,80) restarts the counter (30) from a reset state upon detection of a predetermined polarity in the V component of the PAL video signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1993Date of Patent: September 27, 1994Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David J. Brown, David C. Conway-Jones, Jong-Han Kim, Peter M. Smith
