The disclosure relates to a dryer locker system for us with gear such as firefighting turnout gear including a housing having an interior region defined by a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a bottom wall, and a rear wall. An air blower is disposed on the bottom wall. An air duct is connected to an outlet of the air blower, such that the air blower supplies an air flow to the air duct. A jacket holder is rigidly mounted to the rear wall and projects into the interior region. The jacket holder is adapted to receive the air flow from the air duct. A pants holder is also rigidly mounted to the rear wall and projects into the interior region. The pants holder is also adapted to receive the air flow from the air duct.

Disclosed is a jet box for guiding an incoming air flow in drying of a veneer sheet. The jet box includes at least one jet nozzle. The jet nozzle includes a guide surface forming a three dimensional opening structure, which is limited at its first end to an inner opening and at its second end to an outer opening. The guide surface includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion substantially on a side of the incoming air flow is convexly curved outwards from the jet box and the second portion substantially on the opposite side of the opening structure in relation to the incoming air flow is concavely curved outwards from the jet box. Also disclosed is a dryer including at least one jet box.

Described herein are compositions composed of micronized placental components, extracts of micronized placental components, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. The compositions have numerous medical applications. Methods for making and using the micronized compositions and the extracts thereof are also described herein.

Systems and methods are provided for enhanced dryers for printing systems. One embodiment is an apparatus that includes a dryer for a continuous-forms printing system. The dryer includes heating elements located within an interior of the dryer that radiate infrared energy onto a web of printed media as the web travels through the interior, and an air knife that is interposed between the heating elements. The air knife includes a shell that directly absorbs infrared energy from the heating elements and also defines a passage for air to travel through the air knife onto the web. The shell directly absorbs infrared energy from each heating element that would otherwise overlap on the web with infrared energy from another heating element.

An air blowing device is numerically controllable. An air blowing device includes a feed base, a nozzle base arranged at a distal end of the feed base, a spindle housing arranged in the nozzle base, a spindle rotatable about a rotation axis, a nozzle block including a first nozzle, and a first fluid channel for feeding dry air to the first nozzle and including a first main pipe, a first annular channel, a first connecting tube, and a first communication channel communicating with the first annular channel and the first nozzle.

A device for drying grain includes a housing having an inlet port and an outlet port, a first passageway, a second passageway, a grain flow housing, a filter across the grain flow housing, a recovery column, an air supply, a recycle column, a filter cleaner in the recovery column, and a conveyor for moving the filter cleaner along the filter. The air supply pulls an air flow into the housing through the inlet port as a grain flow pours through the grain flow housing. The air flow passes through the grain flow in a first pass air flow from the passageways to dry the grain. The first pass air flow passes through the filter to remove particles, and a portion of that filtered first pass air flow is recycled back with the filter cleaner to dislodge particles clogging the filter. The other portion is vented through the outlet port.

A sporting equipment drying rack is disclosed herein. The sporting equipment drying rack includes a collapsible structure useful for holding sporting gear, equipment, and other sports accessories. The sporting equipment drying rack is designed to be compact for portability, and may be particularly useful for drying and deodorizing wet and smelly sports equipment after use.

A hair extension is conveyed through a fluid held in a tub of a housing, in a conveying direction, while an ultrasonic transducer establishes ultrasonic cavitation at interfaces of the fluid with surfaces of the hair extension. The hair extension is rinsed while conveyed above the fluid to a completion position.

A hands-free dryer allows for drying of a target while permitting the hands of a user to not be controlling the operation of the hands-free dryer. The hands-free dryer includes a blower for providing air flow, an orientation system allowing the blower to be adjustably oriented at an angle. There is a semi-rigid flexible hose connected to the blower that retains its configuration without the user having to maintain the configuration. Also, there is a support system that provides support for the hands-free dryer while worn by the user.

A method for producing a hot-dip aluminum-coated steel wire, including dipping a steel wire in molten aluminum, and drawing up the steel wire from the molten aluminum, wherein at the time of drawing up the steel wire from the molten aluminum, a stabilization member is contacted with a surface of the molten aluminum and the steel wire at the boundary between the steel wire and the surface of the molten aluminum, a nozzle having a tip end of which inside diameter is 1 to 15 mm is disposed so that the tip end is positioned at a place away from the steel wire by a distance of 1 to 50 mm, and an inert gas having a temperature of 200 to 800 C. is blown out from the tip end to the boundary at a volume flow rate of 2 to 200 L/min.
