  • Patent number: 8252415
    Abstract: A sand making apparatus comprises: a crusher configured to crush crushed materials; a first sorter configured to sort the crushed materials obtained from the crusher into coarse particles, fine particles, and powders through air sorting by air blowing and screening sorting by a screen; a negative pressure collection unit configured to suck and collect the powders from the first sorter; and a second sorter disposed between the first sorter and the negative pressure collection unit, the second sorter configured to sort the powders into coarse powders and fine powders through negative pressure of the negative pressure collection unit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7475102
    Abstract: Random number generating method for generating random numbers in accordance with multivariate non-normal distributions based on the Yuan and Bentler method I on computer. The method includes application steps for applying n-dimensional multivariate non-normal distributions to n-dimensional experience distribution by using computer and steps for generating random numbers including pseudo-random numbers, quasi-random numbers, low discrepancy sequences, and physical random numbers by methods including additive generator method, M-sequence, generalized feedback shift-register method, and Mersenne Twister, and excluding congruential method, by using computer. The application steps use predetermined relationship equations for the third and fourth order moments to perform application associated with the third and fourth order moments of the empirical distributions. Moreover, by using random numbers generation method, parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood method.

  • Patent number: 6719229
    Abstract: The invention provides a crusher which can produce uniform finely pulverised material without having to increase the speed of the rotor, and which has a good rate of productivity. The crusher comprises crushing vanes 3 having extensions 35 formed protruding radially from the outer surface of the rotor 1 and extending below a raw material drop point A of a dead-bed 4, and an annular wall 5 similarly positioned below the raw material drop point A of the dead-bed 4, on an inner rim of a lower plate 22 of the crushing chamber 2, and pulverizing is effected by the material 7 which rebounds and falls from the dead-bed 4, striking the extensions 35 of the crushing vanes 3.
