US Patent:

44767811, Oct 16, 1984

Filed:

Sep 30, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/430761

Inventors:

Edward F. Kubacki - Marengo IL
Edward C. Jacobs - Wauconda IL
John M. Masciale - Palatine IL
James R. Monroe - Palatine IL

Assignee:

American Can Company - Greenwich CT

International Classification:

B41F 1700

US Classification:

101 3R

Abstract:

In a marking system for stamping materials such as aluminum strip, a pulse of determined energy is supplied to a solenoid, to impart a determined kinetic energy to a die. The die is guided to dissipate substantially all of this kinetic energy in the deformation of the material being stamped. The pulse of energy applied to the solenoid may be controlled by a programmable computer, programmed to control the duration of time that a current is applied to the solenoid. The computer may control a plurality of such solenoids, controlling the times and relative numbers of operation of each of the solenoids.

International Classification:

B01D 1712

US Classification:

210 86

Abstract:

A reverse osmosis (RO) unit uses a membrane permitting operation at abnormally low water pressures, typically as low as 10 PSI. Because any requirement for a pump to boost inlet water pressure is obviated, the RO unit makes do with only one, small and compact, outlet pump. An optional single, or a dual-channel dual-pass, ultraviolet (UV) light source sterilizes filtered inlet, and/or the purified output, water flows. Purified water is stored at atmospheric pressure in a simple storage bag, and is dispensed on demand by force of the outlet pump. The entire RO unit--storage bag, pump, filters, UV sterilizer, membrane and all--is preferably entirely integrally packaged in a compact and aesthetically pleasing cylindrically-shaped housing. The RO unit so housed is suitably deployed on a household counter top while flow-connected to normal household plumbing--typically to the faucet and drain of a kitchen sink--and while electrically connected to normal household power. The RO unit is operative to purify water in the event of an emergency or power emergency on solar or battery power, and is even operative in the complete absence of electrical power, such as after an earthquake or other emergency, by manual disconnection or bypass of its inlet solenoid valve.
