Abstract: In order to eliminate components and fixtures, facilitate assembly, avoid leaks, and reduce cost in a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between two fluids such as a coolant and oil, the heat exchanger includes a header plate (24) having a central opening defined by a column integrally formed with the header plate (24) together with a radial opening (30). A plurality of heat exchange units (32) are stacked on the header plate. The heat exchange units (32) each comprise a pair of plates (34, 36) joined together at inner and outer peripheral edges to thereby sealingly define a plurality of first chambers (42) for the flow of one of the fluids wherein a column-receiving opening (44) is provided radially inwardly of the first chambers (42) thereof. The heat exchange units (42) further include aligned first openings (46) and aligned second openings (48) on opposite sides of the column-receiving openings for joining the first chambers in a first fluid flow path, and the radial opening in the header plate comprises a first fluid inlet for directing the first fluid through one of the first openings into the first fluid flow path where it flows until it reaches a first fluid outlet therefor. The heat exchange units are stacked on the header plate about the column where they are arranged in a spaced series by spacers which serve to define a plurality of second chambers (54) for the flow of the second fluid between each pair of the spaced series of heat exchange units. A tank (56) covers the heat exchange units stacked on the header plate. With this arrangement, the tank (56) is integrally secured to the header plate and to the column to sealingly confine the second chambers (54), and it has an inlet (62) for directing the second fluid into the second chambers (54) and an outlet (64) for receiving the second fluid from the second chambers after it has flowed through a second fluid flow path.

Abstract: A solar roof collector comprising a plate collector with a plurality of transparent conduits to channel a thin film of water from an insulated reservoir in order to increase the temperature of water therein as a result of heat absorption in the plate collector. An evaporative chiller including transparent air ducts in which air is circulated receives in the air ducts pre-heated water from the insulated reservoir, distributed therein preferably under the form of a thin film. Some water in the air ducts is vaporized and the vapor saturated air is passed through a vortex condensor, precipitating water which generates thermal energy. The thermal energy may be used to drive a gas turbine or another type of energy conversion device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit of the kind wherein a load (L) is supplied via a triac (TC) with current from an AC voltage supply source (A, B) under the control of a triac control means (IC) in combination with a sensing element (RT). In previous circuits the sensing element is energised by a current from a DC source which is derived by rectification and smoothing of the alternating current of an alternating voltage supply source, which has limitations in integrated circuitry. In the present invention the sensing element (RT) is energised by an alternating current to produce a sensed alternating current. The triac control means (IC) includes an integration means (6) for producing a control signal which is representative of the integral of the difference between a value corresponding with the average peak to peak magnitude of the sensed alternating current and a reference value. The triggering or otherwise of the triac (TC) being determined by a latch (LCH) actuated in response to the magnitude of the control signal relative to one or more threshold levels. The present invention may be used in thermostats or other sensing devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A high temperature fluid-to-fluid heat exchanger is described wherein heat is transferred from a higher temperature fluid flow core region to a lower temperature fluid flow annulus. The wall separating the high and low temperature fluid flow regions is comprised of a material having high thermal absorptivity, conductivity and emissivity to provide a high rate of heat transfer between the two regions. A porous ceramic foam material occupies a substantial portion of the annular lower temperature fluid flow region, and is positioned to receive radiated heat from the wall. The porosity of the ceramic foam material is sufficient to permit a predetermined relatively unrestricted flow rate of fluid through the lower temperature fluid flow region.

Abstract: An arrhythmia detector includes a delta modulator which digitizes the ECG signal and produces a serial digital signal that represents the input ECG signal. A microprocessor classifies the signal as having no slope, positive slope, or negative slope. A finite state machine model in the microprocessor uses the positive slope, negative slope, or no slope information to determine the number of times an isoelectric line segment is present in the ECG signal. By accumulating the line-counts or number of line segments over a two-second period, a determination can be made whether the ECG signal has been in isoelectric line less than a threshold. For two out of three 2 second periods, if the percentage of isoelectric time is less than the ventricular fibrillation threshold then a ventricular fibrillation signal can be generated. For ventricular tachycardia verses supraventricular tachycardia discrimination, a second threshold which relates to the average heart rate observed in a linear formula LC(TH) = b - a*(rate)/30 can be used. If the isoelectric line-count is less than the LC(TH), then VT is declared. The regression coefficient a and b can be found by measuring the line-count and rate pairs in 2 second periods during normal sinus rhythm in periodic basis, for example, 10 data pairs every hour. The delta modulator uses a comparator which receives the ECG signal and a tracking signal to output a series of binary digits. A digital-to-analog converter generates the tracking signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Improved circuits for measuring the conductivity of a solution confined between two electrodes in a cell compensate for series capacitance and parallel capacitance between the electrodes. A bipolar square-wave signal is applied to the cell. In one embodiment, the current through the cell is measured by an op-amp in current-to-voltage converter configuration. A feedback resistance employed with the op-amp in a feedback loop is controlled to a low value to ensure that the parallel capacitance is fully charged during an initial portion of each half-cycle of the drive signal. The feedback resistance is then selected so that the gain of the feedback loop is responsive to the range of the resistivity of the solution, and the measurement is made. The period of the bipolar signal is selected responsive to the selected loop gain, to ensure that a filter capacitor across the op-amp is fully charged, and to limit distortion caused by the series capacitance. More particularly, the rate of charge of the series capacitance is proportional to the solution resistance; by varying the period of the drive signal in accordance with the solution resistance, the distortion introduced by the series capacitance remains negligible. In a further embodiment, charge proportional to the current through the cell is integrated across the op-amp, and the rate of charge is measured by measuring the time required to integrate the current to a predetermined level, and used to determine the resistivity of the solution. In this embodiment, the parallel capacitance is fully charged before each integration period begins. The voltage developed across the series capacitance is constant and can be compensated mathematically. <IMAGE>
