    摘要: A methodology for the removal of the harmful components of the ash of biomass of agro/forest/urban origin and of low-quality coal fuels, as peat, lignite, sub-bituminous and bituminous coals, is invented. The harmful components are alkaline metals, chlorine and sulphur. They are removed before the thermochemical conversion in order to prevent or minimise the corrosion, scaling/deposition, ash agglomeration problems, as well as the alkaline metal, chlorine, sulphur emissions. Furthermore, it aims in the production of materials of low moisture content, low hygroscopicity, which can be easily ground, and mixed with various other materials, easily fed to commercial boilers for energy production, which can be easily pelletised with or without other materials at various proportions and with very low energy requirements. The removal is achieved with pre-pyrolysis/pre-gasification at 250-320° C. for 5 min to 2 h of biomass of agro/forest/urban origin, as well as, of low-quality coal fuels, as peat, lignite, sub-bituminous and bituminous coals. Then the pre-pyrolysed/pre-gasified sample is washed with a 0.5%-20% weight basis aqueous calcium acetate and/or magnesium acetate and/or aluminum acetate and/or ammonium acetate solution. These acetate salts can be mixed in a proportion of 0% to 100% to form an active salt which is used for the preparation of the aqueous solution. Any kind tap water from a public water supply system, spring, etc. can be used for the preparation of aqueous solution. The solid-to-liquid ratio is 33 g/L to 600 g/L, the temperature varies from 13° C. to 95° C., and the treatment duration between 5 min to 24 h.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for mixing food are disclosed. In an embodiment, a mixing device includes a housing including a cavity configured to hold an item and at least one cord attached to the housing. The at least one cord is configured to cause the housing to rotate when the at least one cord is pulled in a direction away from the housing. In another embodiment, a method of mixing includes placing an item inside of a housing, rotating the housing in a first direction to create tension, and releasing the tension so that the housing rotates in a second direction and mixes the item.

    摘要: An implantable infusion port comprising a non planar septum, a fluid reservoir of a substantially spherical shape, inlet means to access the reservoir, and optimized outlet means from the reservoir. The present invention provides for a reservoir that precludes angular junctions between portions of the reservoir which can lead to eddies, countercurrents, and stagnation, thereby creating a more laminar and efficient flow pattern within the reservoir.

    摘要: A power rack assembly attachment having at least one support member that removably attaches to a vertical post in a power rack assembly or similar exercise equipment or machine and is connected to a parallel vertical support post that can receive a support hook for barbells. The power rack assembly attachment provides the ability to extend vertical support for support hooks closer to the user than the standard vertical posts in a power rack assembly.
