Abstract: An apparatus for evaporating liquid samples contained in sample holders mounted within a chamber and by rotated by the rotor during an evaporation process in which the pressure in the chamber is reduced below atmospheric and the sample holders are rotated at high speed so as to exert centrifugal force on the contents of the holders. Heat is supplied to elevate the temperature of the liquid component of the samples to assist in the evaporation process. The temperature of the sample material is continuously or regularly monitored during the evaporation process and temperature signals are transmitted to a remote computing means which is programmed to generate a control signal for controlling the supply of heat to the samples and controlling the evaporation process. The temperature may be sensed by a probe in a sample holder containing an evaporating liquid sample, or in an adjoining sample holder containing a buffer liquid. The rotational speed is also sensed and a speed signal conveyed to the computing means.

Abstract: A store display maximizes shelf space through use of an automated lift assembly that selectively positions product, for example milk containers, at an opening in a wall. The wall defines a customer side and a store side, and the lift assembly monitors product available through the opening and selectively raises additional product from a stacked array into position at the opening. Helical threaded members are preferably disposed on opposite sides of a pallet, or support platform, and are driven in unison in response to a signal from a sensor that product is depleted from an upper level of the stacked array.

Abstract: There are many aspects of the Roof Rack for Plywood that are new to the industry that it is intended for use. The most apparent benefit of this invention is that I have improved upon a long used wooden rack built by contractors to hold plywood level on the slope of a rooftop. These racks are normally built from materials on the jobsite, wood that will now be discarded at the end of the job, as it is no longer useful. The Roof Rack for Plywood is a reusable, lightweight, easily installed or removed, adjustable version of that same rack. Roof Rack for Plywood will be both safer and more economical for contractors; it is studier than the traditional wooden racks and will eliminate the need to waste time and materials building the wooden racks currently in use.
