Abstract:

A concrete batch mixing system and method are disclosed that enable the batch master to measure and control both the water and cementitious ingredient feeds in relation to each other so as to be able to blend the two ingredients in a known, selected, adjustable and repeatable manner, and to agglomerate these ingredients in a counter-rotating twin screw mixing apparatus for use in the preparation of batches of mixed concrete in a concrete batching process.

International Classification:

B28C005/14

US Classification:

366008000, 366019000, 366040000, 366066000, 366301000

Abstract:

A pre-mixer agglomerator and method of pre-mixing batching ingredients used to produce concrete mixes is disclosed. Specifically, this invention involves a pre-mix system which blends the wetting agents and the cementitious ingredients in relation to each other at any selected ratio in an adjustable and repeatable manner. The pre-mixer is a twin screw, preferably counter-rotating, pre-mixer agglomerator unit for pre-mixing these materials prior to combining them with aggregates in a drum of a transit mixer truck or other final mixing vessel.

International Classification:

C12Q 168
C07H 1512
C12N 1500

US Classification:

435 6

Abstract:

A method is provided for joining two DNA molecules by first amplifying them by means of polymerase chain reactions (PCR) carried out on each molecule using oligonucleotide primers designed so that the ends of the resultant PCR products contain complementary sequences. When the two PCR products are mixed, denatured and reannealed, the single-stranded DNA strands having the complementary sequences at their 3' ends anneal and then act as primers for each other. Extension of the annealed area by DNA polymerase produces a double-stranded DNA molecule in which the original molecules are spliced together.

Abstract:

A reclamation system for receiving unused mixed concrete ingredients and the washout water therewith includes an elongated, on grade gravity separation tank having an upper discharge end over an on grade grout receiving area, an inclined belt conveyor which is pivotally mounted for limited rotation on a vertical axis between a first position alongside the tank and said grout receiving area and a second position having its lower end over said area and below said tank discharge end and having its upper discharge end over an aggregate and sand receiver.
