Show moreAn apparatus and process for pulverization of polymeric material having a multi-component screw disposed within an elongated cylindrical housing. The multi-component screw has an independently rotatable extrusion portion and an independently rotatable pulverization portion. A cooling means is provided to maintain the fine powder material produced during the pulverization process at a desired temperature. In one embodiment of this invention, a second multi-component screw having an independently rotatable extrusion portion and an independently rotatable pulverization portion is disposed within the elongated cylindrical housing.

Show moreAn electrohydrodynamic conduction liquid pumping system includes a vessel configured to contain a liquid or a liquid/vapor therein. This vessel can be of a elongate conduit configuration, an elongate channel configuration or a liquid enclosure configuration. At least a single pair of electrodes are disposed in a spaced apart relation to each other on the vessel and configured to be oriented in the liquid. A power supply is coupled to the electrodes and operable to generate electric fields in between the pair of electrodes, the electric forces inducing a net liquid movement relative to the vessel. Various electrode designs are embraced within the concept of this invention. Sponsorship: Illinois Institute of Technology United States Patent Show less
