Method Of And Apparatus For Multi-Stage Sorting Of Glass Cullets

View page
US Patent:
7355140, Apr 8, 2008
Filed:
Aug 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/637188
Inventors:
Farook Afsari - Menlo Park CA, US
Assignee:
eCullet - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
B07C 5/00
US Classification:
209580, 209588, 209576, 209644
Abstract:
A method and system for sorting different colored objects, preferably glass cullets, into separate groups of same colored objects comprising a plurality of sorting devices for receiving an input feed of different colored objects and sorting the different colored objects based on their light transmission properties into a plurality of output feeds, wherein at least one output feed in the plurality of output feeds is a subsequent input feed to one or more sorting devices in the plurality. The one or more sorting devices sort the at least one subsequent input feed into a plurality of further sorted output feeds. At least one of the plurality of sorting devices is a final sorting device, wherein the final sorting device sorts one or more subsequent input feeds into a plurality of final output feeds. The output feeds preferably contain objects of a desired color, undesired objects and flint objects.

US Patent:
8436268, May 7, 2013
Filed:
Jun 17, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/156229
Inventors:
Farook Afsari - Menlo Park CA, US
Beejahn Afsari - Folsom CA, US
Patrick Charles Flynn - Larchmont NY, US
Dary Kopelioff - Tarzana CA, US
F. Scott Shook - Whittier CA, US
Luis Paul Vendrell - Dundee OR, US
Assignee:
eCullet - Menlo Park CA
International Classification:
B07C 5/342
B07C 5/00
US Classification:
209581, 209576, 209580
Abstract:
A system for sorting a mixed stream of colors and types of cullet into separate groups of cullet with similar color and type includes a source for transmitting light through a cullet, and a camera having a plurality of pixels for receiving light transmitted through the cullet or detecting the absence of light blocked by an opaque contaminant, the camera providing at least one value from the light received, wherein the cullet moves along a designated path based in part on the at least one value. The system further includes a radiation source for irradiating a cullet with selected spectral ranges of radiation, and a sensor for determining characteristics of one or more selected spectral ranges of fluorescent radiation emitted by the cullet, wherein the cullet moves along a designated path based in part on the characteristics of the one or more selected spectral ranges of fluorescent radiation. The camera and the sensor collect the received light at desired sampling intervals and a circuit converts the output of the camera and the sensor into digital representation values. The circuit calculates a non-linear function from the digital representation values.

Method Of And Apparatus For High Speed, High Quality, Contaminant Removal And Color Sorting Of Glass Cullet

US Patent:
20040251178, Dec 16, 2004
Filed:
Jun 24, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/877531
Inventors:
Farook Afsari - Menlo Park CA, US
Jerry Dimsdale - Oakland CA, US
Assignee:
eCullet
International Classification:
C03B005/16
B07C005/342
US Classification:
209/582000
Abstract:
A system for sorting a mixed stream of different colored cullet into separate groups of same colored cullet comprises a light emitting source for transmitting light, such as white light, through a cullet, and a camera having a plurality of pixels for receiving light transmitted through the cullet or detecting the absence of light blocked by an opaque contaminant, the camera providing at least one value from the light received, wherein the cullet moves along a designated path based on the at least one value. The camera collects the received light at a desired sampling interval and a circuit converts the values into digital representation values. The circuit calculates a non-linear function from the digital representation values. An electrostatic or fluid driving actuator directs the cullet along a deflected path based on a value of the non-linear function. A vibratory feeder provides the cullet onto a conveyer belt having an exit roller of a desired diameter.

US Patent:
20080128336, Jun 5, 2008
Filed:
Feb 6, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/069065
Inventors:
Farook Afsari - Menlo Park CA, US
Jerry Samuel Dimsdale - Oakland CA, US
International Classification:
B07C 5/342
G06F 17/00
B65G 47/00
US Classification:
209582, 209580, 700223, 19834109
Abstract:
A system for sorting a mixed stream of different colored cullet into separate groups of same colored cullet comprises a light emitting source for transmitting light, such as white light, through a cullet, and a camera having a plurality of pixels for receiving light transmitted through the cullet or detecting the absence of light blocked by an opaque contaminant, the camera providing at least one value from the light received, wherein the cutlet moves along a designated path based on the at least one value. The camera collects the received light at a desired sampling interval and a circuit converts the values into digital representation values. The circuit calculates a non-linear function from the digital representation values. An electrostatic or fluid driving actuator directs the cullet along a deflected path based on a value of the non-linear function.

Method And System For Glass Processing

View page
US Patent:
20160023248, Jan 28, 2016
Filed:
Jul 23, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/339270
Inventors:
Farook Afsari - Menlo Park CA, US
Kamiar Fariba - La Jolla CA, US
International Classification:
B07B 13/18
G01N 21/892
G01N 21/25
Abstract:
A mixture of glass pieces can be evaluated by taking an image of an object from the mixture. The object has the possibility of being either a single piece of glass from the mixture or at least two pieces of glass from the mixture. By knowing how many pieces of glass are in each object, the accuracy of the evaluation can be improved. Angles of an outline of the object are determined from the image, and then the angles are evaluated to determine whether the object is at least two pieces. When it is determined that the objection is at least two pieces, it is possible to assign a characteristic, such as color type or material type, for each piece as opposed to assigning the same characteristic to the entire object.
