  • Publication number: 20130299406
    Abstract: A system and method for concentrating a slurry is disclosed. A preferred embodiment comprises a filter that is used to filter a slurry into a concentrate and a permeate. A portion of the permeate is used in a backflow operation of the filter once a pressure differential of 0.8 bar is obtained from the filter inlet to the permeate outlet of the filter.

  • Patent number: 5433284
    Abstract: An improvement to electrical bicycles is provided. The bicycle is improved by directly securing a one-way driving assembly to the left side of the driving wheel's hub and forming a one-piece unit with the hub. By having an inserting body protruding from a rotating body, a large bevel gear wheel of the driving assembly is joined with the rotating body. An output bevel gear wheel of a D.C. motor is engaged with the large bevel gear wheel to directly drive the hub in a forward direction. The hub may also be pedal driven so the function of the pedals is not changed.

  • Patent number: 5368122
    Abstract: An electrical bicycle comprises a frame body, a battery and a rotation controller. Characterized in that a driving mechanism is disposed at the rear triangle supporter and one side of the spindle. The transmission collar and fly-wheel are disposed at both ends of the spindle respectively. The transmission collar is rotated by means of the DC motor, the first and second bevel pinions. The output of the DC motor is reduced by the combination of the first and second bevel pinions. No chain is needed, consequently the defects inherited thereof are omitted. This electrical bicycle is free from noise and pollutant emissions. The driving mechanism can be switched on easily as necessary.
