A shredder comprises a shredder housing and a shredder mechanism received in the housing. The shredder mechanism includes a motor and cutter elements and enables at least one article to be shredded to be fed into the cutter elements. The motor is operable to drive the cutter elements in a shredding direction. The shredder also includes a plurality of supporting structures between the shredder mechanism and the shredder housing. The shredder housing has a plurality of support surfaces. Each of the plurality of supporting structures is engaged but not fixedly connected on a corresponding support surface, thus allowing movement of the shredder mechanism in X, Y, and Z directions. At least one motion limiter is provided to limit the relative movement between the mechanism and the housing. The shredder mechanism may be urged to a centered position. The supporting structures may reduce vibrations and noise during operation of the shredder.

A shredding machine for domestic or office use having a feed passage leading to a cutting mechanism powered by an electric motor, has a thickness measuring device for measuring the thickness of bundles of paper fed through the feed passage and the machine is controlled by a microprocessor which receives signals from the thickness measuring device and prevents the cutting mechanism from being energised if the thickness measured is above a threshold determined by the microprocessor. The microprocessor varies the threshold in accordance with electrical supply voltage, the electric motor temperature and the electric current drawn by the motor during a previous shredding operation, so that the maximum thickness the shredder will accept can be reduced automatically when motor temperature increases or as the effectiveness of the machine deteriorates throughout its working life. 1. A shredder comprising:a housing having a throat for receiving at least one article to be shredded;a shredder mechanism received in the housing and including an electrically powered motor and cutter elements, the shredder mechanism enabling the at least one article to be shredded to be fed into the cutter elements and the motor being operable in a shredding direction to drive the cutter elements to shred the articles fed therein;a thickness detector configured to detect a thickness of the at least one article to be shredded being received by the throat; anda controller coupled to the motor and the thickness detector, the controller being configured to determine, prior to operation of the motor, whether the thickness detector detects that the thickness of the at least one article to be shredded being received by the throat is below or at or above a predetermined maximum thickness threshold, and in response:(a) prevent operation of the motor if the thickness detector detects that the at least one article to be shredded being received by the throat is at or above predetermined maximum thickness ...

A system of particle detectors can determine the location of a source without rotations or iterations. Embodiments of the system may include a middle detector flanked by two side detector panels, without shields or collimators. The middle detector may be positioned toward the front and orthogonal to the side detectors. By comparing a ratio of the detector data to a predetermined angular correlation function, the system can determine both the sign and magnitude of the source angle in real-time. Embodiments of the system can rapidly and automatically localize sources including industrial, medical, and other benign sources as well as nuclear and radiological weapons materials, whether in vehicles or cargo containers, and can provide improved sensitivity in walk-through personnel portal applications, enable enhanced detection of hidden weapons by a mobile area scanner, and enable a hand-held survey meter that indicates the radiation level as well as the location of the source of radiation.

A pulverizing agent may be admixed with pieces of an SSD printed circuit board prior to initiating the disintegration process to increase the number of particle collisions in a processing/blending chamber. The pulverizing agent may also contain moisture that mitigates suspension of processed SDD particles in the surrounding air (when the mixing chamber is opened). The overall process may be video-recorded for compliance purposes.

Provided is a method of producing a silicon material, comprising: slicing a silicon substrate with a fixed-abrasives wire to obtain a mixing slurry; and treating the mixing slurry by solid-liquid separation, so as to isolate a silicon material from the mixing slurry, which is applicable for a lithium-ion battery. With the simplified method, the production cost of silicon material is remarkably reduced. Furthermore, an anode material of a lithium-ion battery and a method of producing an anode electrode of a lithium-ion battery are provided. Since the silicon material produced by the method has high purity and fine granules, the extreme volumetric expansion of silicon under heat is largely reduced, and thus the cycle stability, electrical performance, and quality of a lithium-ion battery comprising the silicon material are improved. 1.
