  • Patent number: 12325153
    Abstract: A method and system for recycling wind turbine blades. A scalper scalps off balsa wood and foam from recycled composite chips, a lump breaker shatters the chips produced by the scalper, a hammer mill breaks fiber chips produced by the lump breaker to reduce the chips to strand clusters, a vibratory screen and cyclone air classifier or circular vibratory screener separate strand clusters of acceptable size from larger strand clusters that require repeated processing with a hammer mill, another vibratory screen and cyclone air classifier or circular vibratory screener further separate strand clusters of acceptable size from larger strand clusters that require repeated processing with a hammer mill, and a granulator pulverizes the resulting fiber strand into micro-fibers that can be used as reinforcement fibers.

  • Patent number: 10558423
    Abstract: An electronic device for controlling volume is described. The electronic device includes a processor. The electronic device also includes a memory in electronic communication with the processor. The electronic device further includes instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable by the processor to determine, from a set of volume settings, a number of volume settings within a threshold. The instructions are also executable by the processor to determine a volume adjustment factor based on the number of volume settings. The instructions are further executable by the processor to adjust each of the number of volume settings based on the volume adjustment factor.
