  • Publication number: 20250146754
    Abstract: A thermal treatment reactor for feedstocks and method of use. The thermal treatment reactor comprises an infeed assembly, a furnace, a rotary drum, a discharge assembly, and a liberator assembly. The rotary drum may comprise forwarding flights, mixing flights, oscillating flights, and raking pins. The feedstock to be thermally treated enters the reactor through the infeed assembly. The feedstock is fed into the reactor in a controlled manner by means of a screw conveyor system. The thermally-treated product exits the reactor via the discharge assembly, which separates the thermally treated product into a VOC liberator, from whence the product enters into a cooling system to reduce the temperature for safe storage and handling.

  • Publication number: 20250122117
    Abstract: A glass-based assembly includes a glass or glass-ceramic substrate comprising a surface. The surface has flaws, such as a population of small cracks extending into the surface, whereby the substrate is weakened relative to ideal strength thereof. The assembly further includes a coating coupled to the substrate and overlaying at least some of the flaws. Ultimate strength of the substrate with the coating coupled thereto is greater than that of the substrate alone, without the coating.

  • Patent number: 12231323
    Abstract: A network automation system platform is described herein for carrying out a method for automated multi-node performance validation testing on a communications network. The method includes acquiring a test configuration for executing a multi-node performance validation test, wherein the test configuration identifies: a multi-node network performance test, carried out by an application layer, that specifies a technology-independent test script that is generic to particular technologies for providing performance validation-related services, and a node group upon which the multi-node network performance test is to be performed. The method further includes executing the multi-node network performance validation test by the application layer issuing requests to a core layer comprising a set of technology-specific services that issue, in accordance with the application layer requests, technology-specific commands to external services during performance validation of nodes within the node group.

  • Patent number: 11450504
    Abstract: A method for improving the beam current for certain ion beams, and particularly germanium and argon, is disclosed. The use of argon as a second gas has been shown to improve the ionization of germane, allowing the formation of a germanium ion beam of sufficient beam current without the use of a halogen. Additionally, the use of germane as a second gas has been shown to improve the beam current of an argon ion beam.
