Inventor: HILLERICH BERND DR-ING
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 1998-01-22
Abstract: Apparatus (100) to register diffused emitted light has a substrate (102) with a recess (110) in its upper surface (112) to hold a capillary (104) which holds the substance which reacts to light. The walls (106) of the recess reflect light emitted from the capillary. A photo detector (108) is placed over the substrate and covers the recess to catch light reflected from the recess walls. The recess (110) is shaped so that the capillary is wholly contained within it. The photo detector (108) is bonded to the substrate (102) so that, in one setting, the capillary (104) can be inserted into and removed from the recess (110) and, in another setting, receives the light. The capillary has a section coated with a reflective layer and an uncoated section. Both sections give either a one-piece capillary or two separate sections joined together. The first section is inserted into the recess of the substrate, and the end of the capillary away from it is coupled to a light source. The light can be delivered to a section of the recess and at right angles to it, to energise the reactive substance.

Abstract: A refrigerant tube (T1) for use in heat exchangers
comprises a flat aluminum tube (5) having parallel refrigerant
passages (4) in its interior and comprising flat upper
and lower walls (1,2) and a plurality of reinforcing walls (3)
connected between the upper and lower walls (1,2), extending
longitudinally of the tube (5) and spaced apart from one
another by a predetermined distance. The reinforcing
walls (3) are each formed with communication holes (6) for
causing the parallel refrigerant passages (4) to communicate
with one anther therethrough. The flat aluminum tube (5)
is prepared from upper and lower two aluminum sheets by
bending opposite side edges of the lower aluminum sheet
to a raised form and joining the bent edges to the
respective side edges of the upper aluminum sheet which
is flat so as to form a hollow portion. The reinforcing
walls (3) are formed by joining to the inner surface of the
upper wall ridges projecting inward from the lower wall.
The communication holes (4) are formed by cutouts formed
in the edges of the ridges at a predetermined spacing
and having their openings closed with the upper wall.

Abstract: In a solid-state imaging device having channel
barriers in a horizontal transfer register to form a small
signal transfer channel, the channel barriers are provided
only on the output side of the horizontal transfer register
beyond its portion corresponding to an effective pixel
region of an imaging area. The width of the small signal
transfer channel is equal to the width of the horizontal
transfer register in a portion most proximate to a charge
transfer source, and is decreased to be narrower toward the
output side (transfer destination side) up to a horizontal
signal output gate, whereby the gate length in the
horizontal transfer register is changed to be greater with
approach to the output side. The small signal transfer
channel is so shaped as to be wider with approach to the
output side under the horizontal signal output gate. In
this structure, any reduction of the processible charge
quantity derived from the existence of the channel barriers
can be eliminated, and the transfer efficiency under the
horizontal signal output gate can be raised.

IPC: F28F27/00
Filed: 1998-07-21
Abstract: A DDC controller is disclosed which implements a control strategy that provides
for near-optimal global set points, so that power consumption and therefore energy costs
for operating a heating and/or cooling plant can be minimized. The controller can
implement two chiller plant component models expressing chiller, chilled water pump, and
air handler fan power as a function of chilled water supply/return differential temperature.
The models are derived from a mathematical analysis using relations from fluid mechanics
and heat transfer under the assumption of a steady-state load condition. The analysis
applies to both constant speed and variable speed chillers, chilled water pumps, and air
handler fans. Similar models are presented for a heating plant consisting of a hot water
boiler, hot water pump, and air handler fan which relates power as a function of the hot
water supply/return differential temperature. A relatively simple technique is presented to
calculate near-optimal chilled water and hot water set point temperatures whenever a new
steady-state load occurs, in order to minimize total power consumption. From the
calculated values of near-optimal chilled water and hot water supply temperatures, a near-optimal
discharge air temperature from a central air handler can be calculated for each step
in load. Although the set points are near-optimal, the technique of calculation is simple
enough to implement in a DDC controller.

Abstract: A switching network has a plurality of independent switching units (120-129)
with each switching unit switching one bit of each group of data from external data
links (e.g. 103) through a telecommunication switching system. The plurality of
switching units is greater than the number of bits that must be switched which increases
reliability. This allows the extra switching units to be utilized as replacement switching
units should a switching unit actively switching a bit of the incoming data be disabled.
The switching units provide full broadcast switching of data from any individual
external link to any number of the other external links. A plurality of port units
(117,118) terminate the external links, and a plurality of control paths (104,108) are
provided from a central controller (101) to each of the port units. Each of the switching
units communicated one of the control paths. For control, each port unit determines a
set of control information that is identical from a majority of the control paths.

Abstract: The breakdown services have many task involving the unlocking of automobile doors. The problem is normally solved by pressing a wedge-shaped element down between the door window and the rubber sealing strip which abuts against the window, whereby access can be gained for the insertion of an unlocking tool without having to remove the sealing stip. However, the downwards insertion of the wedge-shaped element can give rise to damage to the sealing strip. This is avoided with the process according to the invention, in that instead of the wedge, use is made of a flat, inflatable pillow element of flexible, distensible material. The flat pillow element is easy to insert downwards, and by a subsequent inflation it will press directly outwards on the sealing list without at the same time scraping against the list.
