  • Publication number: 20220343713
    Abstract: A multi-currency allocation assembly line includes a machine core module, a plastic packaging module, a sorting assembly line, and a manipulator. The machine core module is used for storing banknotes, and outputting banknotes into a banknote receiving funnel according to a system instruction. Among the machine cores in an array, the machine cores respectively store different banknotes, and the banknotes output by the different machine cores are then respectively conveyed, by means of the manipulator, to the plastic packaging module for plastic packaging and are then conveyed to the sorting assembly line, so as to complete banknote allocation, packaging and sorting in one step, thereby greatly increasing the banknote allocation efficiency and minimizing manual errors during manual operation.

  • Patent number: 9681733
    Abstract: Aqueous liquid compositions are provided, which comprise nonionic polymers, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), or combinations thereof, and which are free of or substantially free of salt-forming groups. The aqueous liquids form solid, flexible films after direct application to skin, and the films may be peeled from the skin to remove adhered keratotic plugs from pores of the skin. The compositions are easily applied to skin, without dripping, with fingers, a brush, or other applicators.

  • Patent number: 9574764
    Abstract: A steam generating device has a handle and a nozzle or pad attached to the handle for treating a surface. The handle includes a heat exchanger, a water reservoir, a fluid conduit in fluid communication with the water reservoir and heat exchanger, and a fluid delivery system for moving water from the water reservoir, through the fluid conduit, and into the heat exchanger. A fuel powered heater is positioned on a side of the wall of the heat exchanger opposite the interior space of the heat exchanger. A first section of the wall of the heat exchanger transfers heat from the heater to water located in the heat exchanger for generating steam from the water located in the heat exchanger. A second section of the wall of the heat exchanger includes an opening that allows steam to exit the heat exchanger and handle and flow through the nozzle or pad.
