ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Thermoplastics such as polyethylene are formed into pellets by centrifugally extruding strands and severing the.
strands adjacent the centrifugal extrusion die. Very small 7 particles are readily obtained.
This application is a divisional application of application Ser. No. 268,215, filed Mar. 25, 1963, now abandoned.
This application is also a continuation-in-part of my previously filed application Ser. No. 214,942, filed Aug. 6, 1962, now abandoned.
This invention relates to processing apparatus. It more particularly relates to a centrifugal extrusion apparatus for the preparation of granular material.
In the preparation of thermoplastic resinous molding compositions usually the polymeric material in molten form is extruded through a die as a strand or a plurality of strands which is subsequently cooled and cut into granules by means of a grinder or similar mechanism. The granules represent a widely useable form of the polymeric material having a relatively low surface per unit of volume and may be readily utilized in injection molding equipment, extrusion equipment, and the like. Frequently, polymeric materials are polymerized in suspension or emulsion and the resultant product has relatively high surface and a low bulk density. Equipment suited for transforming either mass, emulsion or suspension polymer into suitable molding granules is usually expensive, complicated, and requires relatively high maintenance. The polymeric material must be heated to a molten condition and be forced under pressure through one or more suitable orifices, the extrude is then cooled and subsequently comminuted to a suitable size.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved apparatus for the preparation of a particulate thermo- 1 plastic resinous material.
resinous material in cooperative combination with a rotor,
said rotor comprising a circular body defining an internal cavity, a plurality of circumferential passageways, said passageways providing a means of communication between said cavity and the periphery of said rotor, means to rotate said rotor, means to sever a thermoplastic resinous material positioned generally adjacent to the periphery of said rotor, said means of supply of molten polymeric material adapted to add molten material to said cavity of said rotor.

The tube 115 comprises a body portion 116 having defined therein a passageway 118 and the body 116 as a generally convex and frustoconical terminal portion 119, which tapers toward the termination of the passageway'118.
is disposed opposite to and generally coaxial with the conduit 120. The direction of rotation of the rotor is indicated by the arrow. A screw 127 is axially positioned and secured to the rotor 125, the screw 127 extending partially into the helix 123. The screw 127 is provided with a right hand thread 126, While the helix 123 is of a left hand configuration.
Operation of the apparatus of the present invention may be readily understood by reference to FIGURES 1 and 2. In FIGURE 1 a molten polymer 14 is added to the cavity 24 of a rapidly rotating rotor 20. Centrifugal force causes a polymer 14 to be forced against the peripheral portions of the cavity 24 through the screen .pack or filter 24 and extruded from the passageways 26 as a plurality of rods. This phenomena is clearly pictured in FIGURE 2 wherein the polymeric material 67 issues from the passageways 64 as the rods- 67A. As the rotor revolves, the extruded rod contacts a cut olf mechanism such as the assemblies 40 of FIGURE 1 or 70 of FIGURE 2. The rod or amount of thermoplastic resinous material in the rotor is maintained at a desirable level by means of either manual control of the quantity of molten polymer added to the rotor or by varying the rotational speed of the rotor.
Beneficially, an automatic control element such as 48 in FIGURE 1 is incorporated wherein a sensing element is placed within the cavity '24 of the rotor 20 and a portion of the sensing element is resiliently loaded against the substantially vertical face of the molten polymeric material. Due to the viscoelastic rheological characteristics of the molten thermoplastic resinous material moving 1 at a high speed past the first sensing element no tendency is observed for the material to adhere thereto. Observation indicates that the sensing element acts no dilferently as 40 of FIGURE 1 or 70 of FIGURE 2. However, by utilizing a cooled knife, such as the blades 400i FIGURE 1 and 71 of FIGURE 2, no tendency is observed for the material to adhere thereto. When relatively large rods are extruded from an apparatus in accordance with the invention, it is beneficial to employ a cooling fluid such as is supplied by the nozzles 75 of FIGURE 2. The function of the cooling fluid is to cool the granule or droplet to at least a semi-solid condition prior to its contact with other granules. In cases where relatively small rods are extruded and cut, this additional cooling is usually notinecessary as there is sufficient loss of heat from the granule as it travels 7 URE 3. In certain instances it is advantageous to utilize an arc technique, particularly if plastics of relatively low viscosity are utilized and it is desired to employ a number of points to sever the extruded rod which arecloser than one can conveniently position a knife. certain in stances the function of severing the granules from are truded rod can be combined with beneficial oxidation treatment such as in thecase of polyethylene. As each granule is severed in the arc in an airatmosphere sufli= cient surface oxidation of the polyethylene occurs to markedly improve ink adhesion, printability. and like prop= erties. As illustrated in FIGURE 4, the apparatus in accordance with the invention may be operated in substantially any position including with the axis of the rotor vertical, horizontal, or in any intermediate position. The centrifugal force required for satisfactory extrusion. of the thermoplastic material into rods 'is sufliciently high that the effect of the force of the gravity is negligible and has substantially no effect on the preparation. Usually it is advantageous to space the rotatingknives or spark gap relatively close to the exit end of the extrusion passageway in order thata generally light cylindrical particle is prepared. Often such a spacing is about the diameter of the extrusion orifice and generally is less-than about 0.005 inch. Beneficially, the shape of the particle may 'be other than cylindrical as extrusion passageways having other than the circular cross section are employed. 'Iriangular,
square, rectangular and like configurations are readily utilized for the cross sectional configuration of the peripheral passageways of the rotor.
Frequently, if it is desired to sever such strands or rods at angles other than those approximating right angles, the means to sever the rod are moved away from the periphery of the rotor and the tendency of the rod to curve allows contact with the cutting means at decreasing angles to the axis of the extruded rod as the cover is removed from the periphery. This is due primarily to the air resistance of the extruded rod which tends to cause it to bend away from the true radius of the disc. Beneficiallypthe radial angular spacing of the cutters about the periphery of the rotor may be utilized to determine the, particles size distribution. For example, in FIGURE .2 :four cutters are disposed about the periphery of the rotor at a constant distance from the extrusion orifices. The lower cutter 70, designated as A, will sever longer granules from .the rods 67A :than will the adjacent cutter B. The rate of extrusion of the rods from the orifice is constant and the length of the rod to be cut will be generally proportional to the angle between the cutter in question and the cutter which last cut the particular extruded rod. For example, the cutter B cuts granules of a smaller size than A, while the cutter C severs granules which are larger than those out by the cutter B .and smaller than those severed by the cutter A. The cutter D produces granules which are intermediate in size between those generated by the cutters A and-C. Thus, by selectively positioning rotating cutters or electrical arcs about the pe- V riphery of the rotor, very uniform size distribution of the granules may be obtained at will. It i's also possible to vary the size of the granules by altering the rotational speed of the rotor. Thus, if a given configuration of cutters is used an increase in the speed of the rotor will produce longer granules, whereas reducing the speed of the rotor produces shorter granules. If desired, the particle size distribution of the granule is readily controlled by utilizing peripheral passages in a rotor of varying predetermined dimensions. Beneficially, the diameter of the extruded rod is readily varied when employing a rotor having a -constant. passage dimension by increasing or decreasing the rotational speed and moving the cutters'closer or further away from the periphery of the rotor. On issuing from the peripheral passageways or orifices, the rod has a tendency to neck down or decrease in diameter. This tendency becomes greater as the length of the rod is increased prior to cutting. Thus, the cross sectional dimension of the granules are readily controlled in this manner. i
In sharp contrast to most extrusion apparatus, the filtering mechanism which is readily removable is usually incorporated within the rotor such as the screen pack 25 of FIGURE 1. This pack beneficially may be added to the rotor as a continuous tape wound inside the rotor or alternately it may be made up in a plurality of segments which can be temporarily positioned and subsequently held in their final position by the centrifugal force generated by rotation of the rotor. It is critical to the operation of the embodiment of the invention depicted in FIGURES l, 2 and 4 that the means to sever the strand are cooled knives. If no cooling knives are utilized, the polymer rods or strands will not be cut cleanly and will tend to form a coating and render them and the entire apparatus substantially inoperable. The knives must be maintained at a temperature below the thermoplastic temperature of the polymer composition. This is readily accomplished by applying a stream of air which serves the dual purpose of cooling both the knife and the extrude. This cooling is readily provided by a fluid passing from channels 73 and 74 along the surfaces of the blade 70. For cutting strands into relatively uniform particles it is desirable to use only passage 73 remote from the rotor. However, if a wider particle size distribution is desired, passageway 74 is utilized or if maximum cooling is required both passages are utilized.
A wide variety of means may be utilized for driving rotors of apparatus in accordance with the invention. Typical of these are electrical motors, wherein the rotor is mounted directly on the motor shaft. Beneficially, an indirect connection to the motor or driving source may be employed such as belts, gear trains, and the like in order that a desired rotational speed is achieved. Particularly convenient for experimental purposes is the direct mounting of the rotor on the turbine or air motor shaft which permits rapid and easy variation of the rotational speed by means of a valve controlling compressed air, steam, or liquid under pressure utilized to drive the turbine or fluid motor.
Feeding of the molten polymer to the rotor is critical and must be done with care in order to avoid unbalance in the rotor during the operation. Three general techniques are depicted: (l) the method utilized in FIGURE 1 which is eminently satisfactory when the tube is generally axially positioned with respect to the rotor and the rotating pin or mandrel secured to the rotor and also the rotors axis projects toward the outlet of the feed tube. In the absence of this pin such as is shown in FIGURES 1 and 3, fluid, highly viscous polymeric material has a tendency to become oflf centered and flow upward on the outside surface of the feed conduit. If the conduit is positioned close to the bottom of the cavity in the rotor the polymer crawls up the outside surface of the conduit, and if an attempt is made to overcome this difiiculty by raising the conduit the feed stream will wobble and not uniformly distribute the material within the rotor. (2)
An alternate configuration of a feed tube is shown in FIGURE 5 wherein a generally conical end is provided. This configuration permits the polymeric material to be introduced to the center portion of the rotor and be uniformly distributed by the centrifugal force. (3) The configuration of FIGURE 6-, when a screw is provided and the rotor which on rotation draws material toward the surface thereof, acting in cooperation with the helix of opposite hand.
As is apparent from the foregoing specification, the apparatus of the present invention is susceptible of being embodied with various alterations and modifications which may differ particularly from those that have been described in the preceding specification and description.

The issue of whether New Zealand has a capital gains tax (or CGT) is the Transmission Gully of New Zealand's tax system.
That is, it's something we spend a lot of time and money talking about it without making any progress one way or the other. The perennial issue of whether New Zealand should have a capital gains tax is set to be hotly debated in the run- up to Election 2014.
Both the Green and Labour parties are advocating for a CGT.
People tend to fall into two distinct groups on this issue. On the one hand are those who believe a CGT would not bring in much revenue, would be costly to administer, easy to avoid, cause people to hold on to assets (the lock-in effect) and unlikely to achieve any cooling in the housing market.
Then there are those who believe a CGT would remove a distortion from New Zealand's tax system by removing the tax bias in favour of investment in capital assets. It would be more equitable, and provide more certainty over the taxation of property gains, and cool off property prices.
So who is right?
In my view the answer is somewhere in the middle and would depend very much on the design.
It is true that a CGT does not generate much tax revenue in its early years, and that it can be complex and cause lock-in.
Further, with the Australian model as a comparison, a CGT may not cool off the property market for long. Rather, it seems people just factor the cost of the tax into the prices of capital assets and the market just moves on much as before - witness Australian housing prices, especially prices in parts of Sydney.
Australia has both a capital gains tax and a stamp duty, which ranges progressively from 2 per cent to 7 per cent depending on what state you are in and whether the home is your private residence, investment property, whether you are a first home buyer or pensioner and so on.
The point being that these taxes have not quelled Australian property prices and makes me question the assertion a CGT would temper New Zealand prices.
Having said that, a CGT could well equalise the taxation of capital assets with the taxation of income from labour and other types of investment income and reduce the investment bias in capital assets.
However, whichever side of the line you find yourself sitting on, when thinking about a CGT and what it will or will not achieve, the question you need to ask yourself is what does the detail look like: if a CGT contains too many exemptions, it will be ineffective and costly.
Too often in this debate I find that people are too quick to jump to the conclusion that a CGT will be good for this country because it will improve overall tax system efficiency without understanding what the tax will look like.
It's a little like agreeing with your partner that the house will look better with a new coat of paint without inquiring what colour paint they have chosen.
In my next article I will look at the CGT proposals put forward by Labour and the Greens, and help you decide which side of the line you sit on the issue.

Spotify brings offline playback to desktop
Spotify has announced that Premium users will shortly be able to access on their desktop the same "Offline mode" that exists on mobile versions of the streaming music company's software.
Subscribers will be able to right-click their playlists and select them as "available offline". If their web connection goes down, or they go out of wireless range, those playlists will then still be accessible. A marker will indicate which playlists can be accessed offline.
As previously mentioned, the feature is only available to Premium subscribers. That subscription costs £10 per month and removes ads, ups the quality of the music and enables access to premium content, mobile Spotify, and this new feature.

Where is your home business?
Rating5/5 (from 1 ratings)5
YieldAround 4 cups depending on how much ice you use
½ teaspoon sarsaprilla root powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean
2 cup water
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
dash of cinnamon
few pieces of fennel or anise oil/powder
6 medjouli dates, remove pits
½ cup plain Kombucha (optional)
Recipe Directions
Blend all ingredients in blender until well blended. If you are adding the Kombucha, add at the end – it gets foamy. The Kombucha is to add "fizziness" – a replacement for carbonated water. :)
Queenfluff's ThoughtsBy queenfluff
This is my "in progress" version of raw Root Beer. I will adding other ingredients in the future to get even a better root-y taste but this turned out pretty tasty!
NOTE: This recipe is for home use only. My bf and I sell this for our raw food home business so this is not for commerical sale use! Please respect that! ;)

I just made this...only with sarsaparilla herbs, not powder, and with fennel seeds, not powder. My blender isn't the greatest either with pulverizing dates, so I'm straining the whole thing through a nut mylk bag.
...but I must say, it tastes AWESOME!!! Really Like root beer! -minus the fizz, I didn't put any kumbocha as I'm not really a fan.
Thank you :)
wow I am actually allergic to the real stuff so I am anxious to try this!
I KNEW I saw the word beer on the page somewhere....hee! This looks wonderful! Thank you for the recipe.
I haven't been able to find the powder at the HFS -I saw the herbs though. I got mine from Mountain Rose Herbs.
This sounds amazing! I'll be on the lookout for sasparilla root powder next time I'm at the co-op! Thanks!
I love that you are working on this! Next step, a raw root beer float! :)

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
31 Jul 2013 14:47 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Egypt, Syria
Members of Fatah's Revolutionary Council have hit back at political rivals Hamas, claiming documents aired by the movement are "fabricated and falsified".
Hamas members had held a news conference on Tuesday in the Gaza Strip, in which they displayed documents (Arabic) they claimed proved Fatah and members of the Palestinian Authority, the governing body in the occupied West Bank, were working with elements of the Egyptian government on a malicious campaign to tarnish the movement.
"We believe that Hamas came up with these documents as a step to launch a campaign against the leadership of Fatah, because they believe that Fatah may lead an uprising against the status quo imposed by Hamas in Gaza," Muwafaq Matar, a member of Fatah's Revolutionary Council, told Al Jazeera from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
One document, allegedly sent by Fatah to the media attache at the Palestinian embassy in Cairo, stated: "it has been decided based on recommendations from security agencies and the Palestinian leadership to establish media cells to take part in hte fabrication of news that would embarrass Hamas."
Another document, allegedly sent to the security attache at the Palestinian embassy in Cairo, stated: "with regards to an earlier cable please note that the four bombs have arrived in Egypt. And they need to be used as evidence to implicate Hamas in the recent acts of violence in Egypt."
Producing two documents to the camera, Matar showed differing letterheads, highlighting the "real" one against the one revealed by Hamas.
"I am in possession of two documents. If you look at the top one, the letterhead, this is the official letterhead used by us, and below is the one used by Hamas to come with its fabricated and falsified stories," he said.
"We believe that Hamas is taking a new political course at this moment. Hamas wishes to steer away from the reconciliation among the Palestinians."
Ghazi Hamad, deputy minister for foreign affairs for Gaza, refuted the claims made by Fatah over the documents being fake, saying they "truly believe" they are true, but erring on the side of caution, they are ready to "set up a neutral committee to check the documents and get an expert opinion."
When asked what Fatah would have to gain by sending such documents, Hamad told Al Jazeera: "Maybe they think they can get a victory from Hamas....but what they are doing is very dangerous" for the Palestinian people.
Since the ouster of Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi on 3rd July through a popular military coup, the interim government and Egyptian media holds Hamas responsible for a prison break during the January 2011 revolution, also accusing the deposed president of spying for the group.
Egypt's military has also blamed members of Hamas of involvement in stoking tensions in the Sinai peninsula.
Hamas has denied involvement in Egypt's affairs.

The SEAL Team 6 member tells interviewer Phil Bronstein that he has received little assistance from the government since retiring from the Navy after serving 16 years. And because he left four years short of the 20 required to get retirement benefits, he says he won't receive anything from the government or the Navy: no health insurance, no pension, no protection for himself or his family.

Relevant sermons, very welcoming! Classic music on a world class organ in a historic environment. Coffee hour afterwards gives a great opportunity to meet others.
I recently attended my nieces wedding at Old Stone Church. Hard to believe I lived the first half of my life in Cleveland and have never walked inside this truly beautiful, peaceful house of worship & historical landmark. The stained glass windows, the rich wood, the pipe organ-- it all makes for a gorgeous church, well worth visiting.
the architecture is something to see. In the middle of the hustle and bustle of downtown there stands a piece of history. I have attended many ceremonies and it has always been the perfect setting.
The Old Stone Church is a beautiful church with its gorgeous stained glass windows and massive organ. Each Sunday morning brings a new perspective to the word of God.
I got married in this church in 2013 and would recommend it to anyone. The wedding committee and the wedding seminar weekend were both a pleasure.
This church is a beautiful building that is still being used as vibrant church in the downtown cleveland area. The stained glass is awesome and the wood work is tremendous. The people working are very nice and it is great they open the building to all who would like to see it. I am very impressed with their ministries to...
This is the church my great grandparents were married in. Always a special place in my heart. I hope the city leaders never fancy demolishing this beautiful & historic church. We are losing TOO MANY of the historic buildings in downtown
Beautiful Structure in Downtown Cleveland, we were walking around and came upon this historical and very pretty church. It looks as if it is badly in need of some repairs and I hope the city has a plan to restore this wonderful piece of its history. Beautiful stained glass windows.
Soaring wooden ceilings, a massive pipe organ, and detailed trim at every corner are enough to warrant a visit, but the brilliance of the stained glass windows, even on a cloudy day, deserve a visit on their own. Tony, a longtime member of the congregation, was full of information about the Lincoln bench, and many other details including the windows...
The Old Stone Church in downtown Cleveland is a beautiful building to see. We attended a wedding there and the inside was gorgeous. What a neat piece of Cleveland history!
The Old Stone Church is the most famous church in northeast Ohio. Beautiful stained glass andstone church. Originally built in 1834, it is just as beautiful today as it was then. A popular place for weddings, we were married there.

ESPN legal analyst Roger Cossack was a guest on SportsCenter this afternoon, explaining from his view what the increased police activity at Aaron Hernandez's home could be about.
Some of Cossack's remarks:
1. The activity at the house appears, from his view, to be more search-warrant related than regarding an arrest warrant.
2. "I think this is part of ratcheting up pressure on Hernandez. The fact that the arrest warrant hasn't been served, but a search warrant is being served, to me is like the police sending signals more and more, saying 'We're getting closer, we're getting closer. We want your cooperation. That's why the arrest warrant hasn't been served. There is going to come a time, and there is going to be a line, when we're not going to ask for cooperation [but] we're coming after you.' So I think that's what is going on right now."
3. (On what he expects to happen next) "I think this is somewhat of a cat-and-mouse game that's going on between Hernandez, his lawyer and the police. The fact that Hernandez has not responded yet indicates to me, at least, that there is some serious discussion going on with his attorney. Because no attorney who had the opportunity to self-surrender a client, and work out a deal for him, particularly when you're talking about a crime of this type – any attorney would want to do it. So the fact that Hernandez is holding out and police are ratcheting up the pressure, to me indicates that eventually there is going to be a line that is crossed and I think you're going to see Hernandez arrested, for at least obstruction of justice, if not something else."

A new report from the NPD Group finds a high degree of satisfaction with Internet features among those who own Internet-connected TVs.
The report, "Connected TV Owner Study," found that 45 percent of those with connected TVs actually access the Internet. Of those, 57 percent say they are very satisfied with the TV's Internet features.
According to Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis at the NPD Group, makers of connected TVs have undersold Internet features. The NPD Group found that 57 percent use the Internet connectivity to access Netflix, and 47 percent watch YouTube videos with their connected TVs.
NPD's retail tracking service found that during the first 11 months of 2010, connected TV sales grew 38 percent compared to the same time period a year earlier. Nearly 12 percent of all flat-panel sales are now connected TVs.

Britain – the most charitable developed nation in the world
More than three quarters of Britons give to good causes in a typical month

Social Affairs Correspondent

Britain is the most generous developed nation in the world when it comes to giving to charity, according to a report out today.
More than three quarters of Britons give to good causes in a typical month, the highest proportion of any developed country surveyed. According to The World Giving Index, the only country with a higher proportion of its population donating money than the UK is Burma, where 85 per cent of people give something every month.
Britons are also becoming more generous with their time, as volunteering levels have risen by three percentage points from the previous year to 29 per cent, according to the survey. There was a huge increase in the number of people who helped a stranger in a typical month, up by nine percentage points to 65 per cent.
John Low, chief executive of the Charities Aid Foundation, said: "With the difficult economic climate and rising living costs, it is humbling to see that the majority of Britons choose to give money to good causes every month."
When marked for all three measures of giving - including donating funds, volunteering time and helping a stranger - the UK was ranked the sixth most charitable nation in the world, up from eighth last year. America came top of the Index, which is based on polling by Gallup in 135 countries and published by the Charities Aid Foundation. The next most generous countries were Canada and Burma, who came joint second, followed by New Zealand, with Ireland in fifth place.
Greece came bottom of the Index, with Croatia just above them.
Overall, the world became a more generous place last year. Despite a slowdown in the global economy, the average percentage of people donating money, volunteering time and helping a stranger all increased.
The rise in giving was largely driven by an extra 200 million people helping a stranger in 2012. This was more than double the growth in the number of people giving money or volunteering.
Women are more likely to give money to charity, according to the global survey, while men are more likely to volunteer and help a stranger.

NASA headquarters, Washington D.C.
NASA's shift to open-source content management is back on after the incumbent contractor withdrew a bid protest on Feb. 4.
The withdrawal of the protest, filed by e-Touch Federal Systems on Dec. 28 after NASA awarded Rockville-Md.-based InfoZen a $40 million blanket purchase agreement, allows InfoZen to begin replacing NASA's existing content management system with open source architecture to run its 140 websites and 1,600 web assets and applications.
No reason for the withdrawn protest was listed on the Government Accountability Office's bid protest docket and is not immediately clear.
In an e-mail to FCW, InfoZen CTO Christopher David said the contract, which has a one-year base and four one-year options, officially began on Feb. 8 with InfoZen setting up for a smooth transition from e-Touch Federal Systems.
NASA had been pushing for the creation of a single infrastructure to support its websites and applications, giving preference to open-source technology in accordance with its Open Data Plan, which resulted from the Obama administration's Open Government Initiative.
Protest slows NASA open source project
Bid protests: Useful tool or abusive practice?
In a statement released prior to the bid protest, NASA said the agreement with InfoZen will provide a cloud-based solution for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) for internal and external websites and web applications. Services will include content management, as well as search and collaborative services, such as blogs and wikis.
NASA's main portal, www.nasa.gov, is heavily trafficked, attracting 600,000 unique web visitors per day and more than 140 million visits per year.
Ultimately, the bid protest delayed the start date by about one week for InfoZen, which had planned to begin work on Feb. 1. In accordance with federal law, an agency cannot move forward with a new contract while it is being protested.
