Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger (1) for small components through which a fluid may flow, made from several individual pieces, exclusively produced by forming and joined to each other, to an inlet channel (2), a planar heat exchange element (3) and an outlet channel (4). The heat exchange element (3) comprises an upper and lower side which may be connected to at least one heat source, characterised in that the inlet channel (2) is made from a metal connector tube (21) which continuously enlarges towards the heat exchange element (3) on the inlet side up to the total cross-sectional flow area of the inlet side end face of the heat exchange element (3) and the outlet channel (4) continuously tapers away from the heat exchanger (3) on the outlet side from the total cross-sectional flow area of the output side end face of the heat exchanger element (3) to a metal connector tube (41). The heat exchange element (3) comprises a channel-like inner structure (31) running in the flow direction to increase the heat transfer, which runs within the element from the lower side to the upper side.

Title: Ultrasonic non-destructive testing
Inventor: CAWLEY PETER
IPC: G01N29/24
Filed: 2006-09-14
Abstract: An apparatus and method for ultrasonic non-destructive testing provides an elongate strip of ultrasound transmissive material coupled at a proximal end to an object under test. The elongate strip has a transverse cross-section with a width and thickness giving an aspect ratio greater than unity and matched to the ultrasonic transducer such that excitation induces a substantially non-dispersive ultrasonic signal to propagate along the elongate strip to the proximal end and to enter the object under test. These non-dispersive pulses are particularly suited for time-of-flight measurements, thickness measurements, crack measurements and the like. The elongate strip helps to separate the transducer from a potentially hostile environment associated with the object under test. The elongate strip also has a large area of contact with the object under test allowing efficient transmission of energy into the object under test.

Abstract: A surface treatment method of cladding a Sn or Sn alloy coating with one or more metals selected from among Mn, Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, Ga, In, Tl, Ge, Pb, Sb and Bi continuously or discontinuously in such a way as to make the Sn or Sn alloy coating partially exposed, which method makes it possible to inhibit the generation of whiskers in an Sn or Sn alloy coating formed on the surface of a substrate to which other member is pressure-welded or the joint surface to be soldered. Cladding an Sn or Sn alloy coating with a prescribed metal continuously or discontinuously in such a way as to make the coating partially exposed inhibits the generation of whiskers by contact pressure in pressure welding, and further inhibits the generation of whiskers without impairing the solder wettability of the coating even when the cladding is not followed by heat treatment or reflowing.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un procédé de fabrication de feuilles de verre (13) selon lequel les feuilles sont découpées à partir d’un ruban de verre (15) composé d’un verre ayant une plage de températures de transition vitreuse (GTTR). Le ruban (15) est obtenu par un étirage selon lequel des rouleaux de bord (27a, 27b) entrent en contact avec le ruban de verre (15) à un emplacement le long de la longueur du ruban où la température le long de la ligne centrale (17) du ruban (15) est plus élevée que la GTTR. Les rouleaux de bord (27a, 27b) refroidissent localement le ruban (15) et le refroidissement entraîne une déformation de type d’onde sinusoïdale (déformation S) le long des bords des feuilles de verre (13). La déformation S est diminuée ou éliminée en chauffant les parties perlées (21a, 21b) du ruban (15) et/ou les parties du ruban (les parties de déformation S 25a et 25b) situées à côté des parties perlées (21a, 21b) et/ou en refroidissant la partie centrale du ruban (15) à un ou plusieurs emplacements le long de la longueur du ruban (15) là où la température à hauteur de la ligne centrale du ruban (17) se trouve dans les limites da GTTR.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for purifying exhaust gas of a diesel engine equipped with a continuously regenerating DPF that uses a catalyst. A second continuously regenerating DPF 13 of a small capacity is disposed in a by-path that by-passes the exhaust gas passage 7 of the diesel engine equipped with the continuously regenerating DPF 12. The PM is trapped by the second continuously regenerating DPF 13 in the region of low exhaust gas temperatures. A homogeneous charge compression ignition is executed by advancing the timing for injecting the fuel into the cylinders to reduce the formation of PM. Therefore, the PM can be trapped to a sufficient degree despite the second continuously regenerating DPF 13 has a small capacity. To suppress the formation of NOx, further, the cooled exhaust gas is recirculated into the cylinders and, besides, a urea-added SCR catalyst is disposed in the exhaust gas passage 7 to reduce and decompose NOx in the exhaust gas to further reduce NOx.

Abstract: A particulate trap regeneration system (12) has an exhaust pipe (18) that is connected between an engine (14) and a particulate trap (22) and an air pump (20) that is connected to the exhaust pipe near the engine. The exhaust pipe (18) has a double-walled configuration where the exhaust travels within the pipe and air from the air pump travels within the space between the walls, capturing heat from the exhaust. This configuration also keeps the outside of the exhaust pipe (18) cool, improving safety and durability. Because the air entering the trap (22) is near the exhaust temperature, the burner requires less energy to raise the temperature of the particulates sufficiently to promote burning.
