Inventor: REIMANN ROBERT C
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 2004-04-26
Abstract: Apparatus of removing condensate generated by a plurality of evaporator coils of a vehicular rooftop air conditioning unit. The unit further includes a condenser enclosure in which two opposed end walls are formed by a pair of condenser coils. A condenser fan is mounted for rotation in an opening in the top wall of the enclosure and is axially aligned along the central axis of the enclosure along with the fan motor which is suspended inside the enclosure beneath the fan. A slinger dish is mounted on the motor shaft beneath the motor in close proximity with the floor of the enclosure. The floor, in turn, slopes inwardly from all sides toward the center of the enclosure and condensate generated by the evaporator coils of the unit is channeled into the enclosure and collected in a recess beneath the motor. Theslinger dish is arranged to draw condensate that is collected in the floor recess and distribute the condensate over the surfaces of the two condenser coils whereby the condensate is carried out of the unit in the form of a vapor.

Inventor: HORSTMANN MICHAEL
IPC: B29C41/26
Filed: 2004-05-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing self-solidifying film forming substances from initial liquid substances in a device designed for this purpose and to a corresponding device. The inventive method consists in coating an inert continuously advancing carrier in the form of the part of said device with initial substances (7, 13). A dosing device (25) makes it possible to adjust the thickness of said initial substances for coating the carrier. The coated carrier conveys a substance layer (23) to a drying device (30). The dried substance layer separates itself from the carrier or is removed therefrom. Said method makes it possible to produce self-solidifying film-forming gelatinous substances exhibiting a low material thickness variation from initial liquid substances.

IPC: D02G3/34
Filed: 2004-12-29
Abstract: Presented is a fabric (20) comprised of a staple fiber yarn exhibiting a twist multiplier of less than a prescribed value, preferably 1.5. Yarn (10) is formed from staple fibers twisted together with a certain number or twists-per-inch. The twist-per-inch of the yarn in the fabric is related to the yarn count and a proper balancing of the two results in a twist multiplier of preferably less than 1.5. The Yarn Count is indirectly related to the fiber diameter. The fabric embodying the present invention has a softer more luxurious feel, more bulk, and greater absorbency than a conventional fabric.

Title: Vehicle navigation system with improved turn notification capabilities
Inventor: WALKER JAMES A
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2005-01-11
Abstract: A navigation system for a vehicle for providing improved notification of upcoming turns along a given route is disclosed. Such turn notifications preferably involve activating turn signal indicators within or external to the vehicle in response to turn notification signals supplied by the navigation system. Such preexisting turn signal indicators include the dedicated turn signal indicators normally present within or on the vehicle, such as the turn signal indicators on the instrument cluster on the vehicle's dashboard; the external turn signal lights typically proximate the front and rear bumpers of the vehicle; the turn signal indicators integrated with the side mirror, or similar indicators. Because preexisting turn signal indicators are used, turn notification is made simpler and more economical as additional indicators or indicator systems are not necessary. Moreover, using indictors interior and exterior to the vehicle benefits both the vehicle occupant and well as other vehicles in the vicinity of the occupant's vehicle to inform of the occupant's intended route. In addition to using preexisting dedicated turn signal indicators, a heads up display can be used to display the turn notification, which is beneficial because it is substantially within the occupant's line of sight.
