Publication number: 20180055002Abstract: An animal litter system can include a housing unit and a removable cartridge containing litter. The housing unit can include housing walls, a floor, and a lid at least partially enclosing an interior volume. An interior wall can be disposed in the housing unit and can divide the interior volume into first and second compartments. A first passageway can be defined by a housing wall to provide access between the first compartment and outside of the housing unit. A second passageway can be defined by the interior wall to provide access between the first and second compartments. The removable cartridge can be disposed in the second compartment and can include a plurality of cartridge walls and a bottom at least partially enclosing an interior volume. Each of the plurality of cartridge walls and the bottom of the removable cartridge can independently include a plastic, cellulosic fibers, or a mixture thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2016Publication date: March 1, 2018Applicant: Georgia-Pacific LLCInventors: Michael E.

Publication number: 20040013583Abstract: A system for sanitizing and filtering air includes a chamber through which air passes, the chamber containing an ultraviolet light source. A sanitizing filter is removably mounted in the chamber, the filter containing a mechanical filtration media and a photocatalytic agent. The ultraviolet light illuminates the photocatalytic agent, and air passing through the chamber is purified by the photocatalytic agent and filtered by the mechanical filtration media. The system may also ionize the air, thereby polarizing particles in the air. When the polarized particles are caught in the filter they polarize the filter media, causing it to electrostatically attract other polarized particles in the air, thereby improving its filtration efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2002Publication date: January 22, 2004Applicant: Aerus LLCInventor: Robert W. Burkhardt

Patent number: 5551122Abstract: A handheld vacuum cleaner is provided that has a motor mounted with the rotational axis of its shaft parallel to the rotational axis of the rotating brush. The vacuum cleaner motor has an end bell, which is attached to the motor stator, and which holds a motor shaft bearing. The end bell is secured to the vacuum housing with an elastomeric mounting ring to dampen motor vibrations. The need for most motor mounting hardware is eliminated, because the housing supports the motor stator directly. The intake orifice of the vacuum is shaped to lie in two distinct planes, so that flat cleaning surfaces do not obstruct the orifice. The shape of the intake also allows one to clean immediately adjacent to a vertical wall.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1995Date of Patent: September 3, 1996Assignee: Electrolux CorporationInventors: Robert W. Burkhardt, John W. Walch, Ricky A. Owens, Dennis J. Mancl

Patent number: 4629536Abstract: Methods are provided for analyzing multilayer structures. The multilayer structure is electrolytically anodized at constant current through a plurality of layers of the structure over a predetermined surface area. During the anodization, the change of the anodization voltage or a time derivative thereof as a function of time is monitored as the anodization through the layers occurs to obtain data. The data may be analyzed in several ways to determine whether degradation of the multilayer structure has occurred, to determine the number of layers present in the multilayer structure and to determine the layer thickness of the multilayer structure.The disclosed methods are accurate, inexpensive and rapid.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1985Date of Patent: December 16, 1986Assignee: Energy Conversion Devices, Inc.Inventors: Alan M. Kadin, Robert W. Burkhardt
