This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,856,893.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed a concave changing system for a combine harvester. However, the limitations of this system are that it is specifically designed for agricultural applications, and its adaptability to other industries is restricted. The present invention addresses this limitation by applying the core technology to new industries, solving the problem of inefficient sorting and processing in these domains.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a novel application of the concave support and adjustment system, extending its use beyond agricultural applications to various industries. The inventive step lies in the recognition of the system's adaptability to different domains and the development of modular designs that can be easily integrated into these industries.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the invention could include different types of separators, such as air-based or water-based systems, or varying concave support and adjustment structures to accommodate specific industry requirements. Additionally, the system could be integrated with other technologies, such as artificial intelligence or robotics, to further enhance its efficiency and adaptability.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The invention has significant commercial potential in various industries, including recycling, agriculture, manufacturing, and food processing. The modular design and adaptability of the system make it an attractive solution for companies seeking to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance product quality. The target market includes companies operating in these industries, as well as startups and research institutions developing innovative solutions for these domains.
