Patent number: 10029284Abstract: Methods and systems for achieving higher efficiencies and capacities in sorting feed material are described herein, such as for separating desirable “good” rock or ore from undesirable “bad” rock or ore in an unsegregated, unseparated stream of feed material. In the disclosure, higher efficiencies are achieved with combinations of multiple sensor/diverter cells in stages in a cascade arrangement. The number and combination of cells in the cascade may be determined through a priori characterization of probabilities involved in sensor/rock and rock/diverter interactions, and mathematical determinations of the optimal number and combination of stages based on this probability. Further, as disclosed herein, desired sorting capacities are achieved through addition of multiple cascades in parallel until the desired sorting capacity is reached.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: MineSense Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Andrew Sherliker Bamber, Andrew Csinger, David Poole

Patent number: 10029326Abstract: A wave soldering machine includes a housing and a conveyor coupled to the housing. The conveyor is configured to deliver a printed circuit board through the housing. The wave soldering machine further includes a wave soldering station coupled to the housing. The wave soldering station includes a reservoir of solder material, and an adjustable wave solder nozzle assembly adapted to create a solder wave. The adjustable wave solder nozzle assembly has a first curve plate and a second curve plate that together define a nozzle. The second curve plate is movable with respect to the first curve plate between a close proximate position in which the second curve plate is proximate the first curve plate and a spaced apart position in which the second curve plate is spaced from the first curve plate to adjust a width of the nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2016Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Jonathan M. Dautenhahn, Gregory Leo Hueste
