  • Patent number: 11712455
    Abstract: The invention extends the utility of apparatus used to extract medicinal cannabis compounds into an eluate by separating a portion of medicinal cannabis compounds contained within a portion of eluate at a first extraction target level providing enough clean solvent to continue extraction operations. A high efficiency concentrator such as a rotary evaporator or a wiped film evaporator processes eluate from one or more tanks or extraction vessels creating clean solvent when extraction targets are met or when clean solvent is exhausted. This manages eluate concentration levels and limits the quantity of concentrated medicinal cannabis compounds on site at any moment in time. The invention enables a business model for keeping medicinal cannabis compounds within a legal system, and reduces pollution because law enforcement would no longer have to burn large quantities of cannabis plant matter.

  • Patent number: 7679911
    Abstract: An electronic component or assembly that is assembled within a case that is designed to operate as a liquid phase to gas phase heat pipe where the electronic component or assembly is introduced into a liquid or partially liquid partially gaseous environment; whereby said liquid evaporates into a gas absorbing heat energy and transferring it to and through the component's or assembly's case. The case will be engineered out of materials that do not contaminate the liquid and electronics with ions and will be engineered to include a plurality of chambers/towers that extend in various directions providing enhanced heat pipe functionality in any physical orientation.

  • Patent number: 7626817
    Abstract: A 3 dimensional electronic assembly comprised of a series or plurality of electronic Flex circuit sub-assemblies that form a layered Flex circuit assembly. Each Flex circuit sub-assembly is electronically connected to one or more other Flex circuits forming a multi-layer electronic Flex circuit assembly where various layers are separated by a substance that is designed to transfer heat away from the electronic components with the intent of cooling the electronic devices contained within the assembly. Each said Flex circuit sub-assembly/layer contains one or more trace layers for the conduction of electronic signals, power, and ground. Each Flex circuit layer may also contain electronic components such that the overall device forms an electronic assembly with embedded electronic components. A layered Flex circuit assembly will contain at least two Flex circuit sub-assemblies to which electronic components are electrically attached forming a 3 dimensional electronic assembly.

  • Publication number: 20020004975
    Abstract: A tool for driving an annular seal into a cavity defined by a shaft assembly housing that surrounds a rotatable shaft includes an elongated body having an interior cavity that opens at a first end of the body for receiving the shaft. The body defines an annular surface at the first end. The annular surface has an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the rotatable shaft and forming a removable frictional seal with the inner diameter of the cavity.

  • Patent number: 6325379
    Abstract: A shaft assembly includes a housing having a bore formed therein. A shaft is disposed rotatably in the housing and within the bore. A seal assembly extends between the shaft and a circumferential surface of the bore and includes a first annular seal member rotationally fixed to one of the shaft and the housing and extending therefrom to engage the other of the shaft and the housing. One or more annular seal members extend at least partially between the bore and the shaft to form a labyrinth between areas external and internal to the shaft assembly.
