Supercharge air cooler

The invention relates to a plate heat exchanger forming between its plates a first flat flow tube in which a first fluid circulates between a first inlet orifice and a first outlet orifice, and a second flat flow tube in which a second fluid circulates between a second inlet orifice and a second outlet orifice. The two flat tubes form parallel arms which extend in a longitudinal direction (L) perpendicular to a transverse air flow traversing the heat exchanger, the first tube being upstream in the air flow and the second tube being downstream.

Device for regulating the buckling of underwater pipes

For regulating the lateral buckling of a section of pipe, at least one device permanently applies a force to a point on the section of pipe. The force is preferably applied substantially horizontally and perpendicular to the axis of the pipe. Preferably, two of the devices that apply equal and opposing forces are positioned at a distance from each other along the section of a pipe. Each device comprises a clamp, a cable, a return device and a buoy or a weight.

Metal core printed circuit board as heat sink for leds

Power LEDs are implanted in a specially designed printed circuit board (PCB) that is known in the art as a Metal Core Printed Circuit Board (MCPCB). The MCPCB is bended over to so as to have rounded corners having a radius that is not smaller than a determined value depending of the overall thickness of the MCPCB and other factors without any negative effects on the insulating layer and copper traces in the area of bending. In this manner, the surface area of the heat sink used in an LED nail care curing appliance is increased. The MCPCB with installed LEDs with rounded corners thereby follows the natural curvature (based on the shape of a human hand) of the appliance housing, eliminating the need for additional heat sinks or fans to reduce the heat generated by the LEDs.

Method of setting stones in a support element

The invention concerns a method of setting a plurality of stones each having a culasse, a crown and a girdle in a metal support element including the steps of:milling a groove on a first face of the support element;piercing from a second face of the support element, opposite to said first face, a plurality of holes each having a diameter substantially corresponding to the diameter of the girdle of the stone that it will receive, such that each hole opens into said groove and the bottom of each hole forms a support wall for the crown of the stone;forming grains in the second face of the support element in proximity to the support walls;setting the stones in place in the holes such that the crown of each stone abuts against the support wall of the hole thereof; andpushing the grains against the culasse of each stone in order to fix the stones in said support element.

Starting aid for low wattage metal halide lamps

An arc discharge lamp (60) contains an arc tube (62) containing an arc generating and sustaining medium. The arc tube (62) has at least one press seal (64). Means (66) for coupling electrical energy to the interior of the arc tube includes an electrical current-carrying frame member (68) and in-leads (68a) and (68b) sealed into the lamp stem (90) and connected to a base (not shown). A starting source (70) comprises a sealed cavity (72) formed in the press seal (64). A second fill material is contained within the sealed cavity (72). The starting source (70) emits ultraviolet radiation when the lamp (60) is energized, which assists in initiation of the arc discharge within the interior of the arc tube (62). An electrical energy coupler (74) is provided for coupling electrical energy to the sealed cavity (72). The electrical energy coupler (74) comprises an electrically conducting element (76) having a proximal end (78) affixed to the electrical current-carrying frame (68) and a distal end (80) overlying the starting source (70), thus providing a capacitve coupling.

Seal system for irrigated scrubber mandrel assembly

An improved cleaning fluid supply housing assembly for a cascade-type substrate scrubber having a sliding piston configured with a flange with recesses so that the piston is out of contact with the rotating part of the brush core mandrel bearing assembly. Rather, the piston flange outer face only contacts the stationary outer race of the mandrel bearing. The water supply piston is also configured with a full bore to minimize the pressure on the end of the mandrel. A tolerance-controlled leak through the bearing is provided by the configuration of the piston flange to provide a flushing of the area in which wear might be a source of particle generation by a controlled tolerance leak upstream of the brushes. These features substantially eliminate the source of particle generation from contact wear and the contribution of such wear particles into the interface between the brush and the substrate surface being cleaned.

Method and system for transferring a satellite from an initial orbit into a mission orbit

A system and method for transferring a satellite from an initial orbit into a mission orbit. The method includes anchoring to the satellite of an external unit having a tank containing a reserve of propellants. The system includes an autonomous spacecraft having an electric propulsion module and a small internal reserve of propellants, located in a parking orbit close to the initial orbit. The spacecraft with the external unit attached to the satellite is docketed in an initial orbit, to produce a fluidic connection of the propellant tank of the external unit to the propulsion module of the spacecraft. The external unit and satellite is transferred into the mission orbit by the electric propulsion module of the spacecraft supplied with propellants directly from the external unit, thereby releasing the satellite into the mission orbit.

Construction of a corrosion-resistant tension member in the area where it enters a structure, particularly an inclined cable on the pylon of a cable stayed bridge

A corrosion-resistant tension member, particularly an inclined cable of a cable stayed bridge, is comprised of a bundle of individual elements, for example, steel wire strands, which in its open area is encapsulated by sheathing, and which within the structure extends inside a guide canal that is formed by a recess pipe. The sheathing—sealing off the front side of the guide canal—is thereby directly or indirectly connected to the structure. Between the sheathing and the entrance point of the tension member into the structure, a connecting pipe is arranged, which on the one hand is detachably connected to the sheathing and on the other hand is connected to the structure by a flange plate.

Talking Speedometer

A simple talking speedometer for motor vehicles. The speedometer includes at least two layers, one for display speed marks, the other for a panel of light sensors positioned similarly as the speed marks. A speed pointer capable of blocking light or emitting light rotates when there is speed, and the rotating of the speed pointer to a speed mark triggers a corresponding light sensor to send a signal for a corresponding voice message be picked by a computer microchip and spoken by a speaker.

Process and means for disintegrating compressed material bales

The invention relates to a process for disintegrating compressed bales of coarse, fiberlike, natural or synthetic materials, especially straw bales, and transporting the disintegrated materials to further processing. Bales often contain foreign objects which the invention removes from disintegrated bale material by moving the material disintegrated from the compressed bales to a feeding and collecting auger and sucking off the portions of natural or synthetic fiber intended for further processing from the feeding and collecting auger, while the contaminants collected are moved on by the feeding and collecting auger and discharged.

Optical angle sensor

An optical rotary angle sensor with at least one first measurement member able to move in the measuring direction having light-transparent and non-transparent regions located on it, at least one second measurement member arranged static relative to the first measurement member in the measuring direction, and / or at least one photoelectric transducer. To keep the distance between the rotating measurement member and the static measurement member and / or the optical-electrical transducer very small, i.e. in the range of about 10-20 μm, and to make the centering of the two relative to each other independent of the formerly necessary shaft bearing, the measurement members are configured so that they are properly oriented relative to each other in the measuring direction and kept spaced apart by a guide provided between the measurement members. The guide can be a form-fitting connection in at least one of the directions not representing the measurement direction.
