Patent number: 5776217Abstract: A vacuum receiver for use in a pneumatic vacuum conveying system having a lid which gas-tightly closes a particle storage vessel. The lid has two apertures therein allowing a gas-particle stream to enter the interior of the vessel and a gas stream to exit the vessel. An upstanding hollow inlet housing is gas-tightly secured on an exterior surface of the lid communicating with one of the apertures. An inlet port is provided in one side of the inlet housing. The gas-particle stream enters the inlet port with sufficient velocity so that the particles strike the inlet housing opposite the inlet port to decelerate the particles. The particles fall through the one aperture and are stored in the vessel. The gas stream also enters the vessel through the one aperture and exits through the other aperture into an upstanding hollow outlet housing. The gas stream exits the outlet housing via an outlet port in the outlet housing.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1996Date of Patent: July 7, 1998Assignee: Motan, Inc.Inventor: Charles W. Thiele

Patent number: 5622457Abstract: A pneumatic material handling system for conveying dry, solid particulate product from one of at least two separate upstanding dry, solid particulate product supply containers to at least one desired destination. At least two identically constructed valves are connected into the conduit system intermediate the supply containers and the desired destination. Each of the two valves includes a base plate having at least first and second separate through passageways extending therethrough and a movable plate slidably mounted on the base plate and movable between first and second positions relative to the base plate. The movable plate has a third through passageway extending therethrough and being axially aligned with the first through passageway in the first position of the movable plate and with the second through passageway in the second position of the movable plate. A drive mechanism is provided for moving the movable plate between the first and second positions.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1994Date of Patent: April 22, 1997Assignee: Motan, Inc.Inventor: Charles W.

Patent number: 5490745Abstract: A device for metering and entraining a measured quantity of a dry, powdered and/or granular product with a gas stream moving in a conduit system. The device includes a hollow housing having a gas inlet opening and a gas and product outlet opening to and from, respectively, the interior of the housing connected to the conduit system so that a gas stream enters and exits the housing in the conduit system. Inlet structure of an appropriate size at the gas inlet opening causes the gas stream to move between the inlet opening and the outlet opening through the interior of the housing at a sufficient velocity to pick up and entrain product in the interior of the housing in the gas stream. Product is allowed to enter the housing through a product receiving opening from a product supply container to facilitate a supply of product to the interior of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1994Date of Patent: February 13, 1996Assignee: Motan, Inc.Inventors: Charles W. Thiele, Tunis J. Willemstyn, Douglas J. Arndt, John J. McMullen

Patent number: 5331749Abstract: An improved air drying process for a paper machine is disclosed whereby air is impinged directly onto a paper web between top and bottom dryers on an open paper draw. This provides additional drying and machine speed increase due to improved controlling of sheet flutter and improved drying via direct air impingement onto the sheet for all paper grades. The structure provides a radial jet reattachment nozzle to blow air onto the sheet while the paper web is not in contact with either cylinder surface and the fabric or felt. The nozzle stabilizes and supports the sheet to prevent sheet flutter and bulging.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1992Date of Patent: July 26, 1994Inventor: Eric W. Thiele

Patent number: 4733068Abstract: A fiber optic sensor array includes a row of transmitting optical fibers, with a column of detecting optical fibers overlapping the transmitting fibers. A planar compliant spacer separates the transmitting fibers from the detecting fibers, so that a sensor element is defined at each location where a detecting fiber overlaps a transmitting fiber. The surfaces of each transmitting fiber and each receiving fiber are modified at the location of each sensor element to increase the optical coupling between the transmitting fiber and the receiving fiber at that element. The spacer in the array includes an opening between the transmitting fiber and the detecting fiber at the location of each sensor element. A support surface is affixed to the detecting fibers opposite the compliant spacer and a protective cover layer is affixed to the transmitting fibers opposite the compliant spacer.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1986Date of Patent: March 22, 1988Assignee: Rockwell International CorporationInventors: Alfred W.
