Title: An air to liquid heat exchanger having a tapered fin and tube block
Inventor: DEMOTS ANTONY BERNARD
IPC: F02B29/04
Filed: 2012-04-05
Abstract: An air to liquid heat exchanger is disclosed having a fin and tube block 115 having a number of airflow passages through which air to be cooled passes. The air inlet side of the block has a grater air flow area than the area of the air flow at the air outlet.

Title: String processor
Inventor: LUCAMARINI MARCO
IPC: G06F7/58
Filed: 2014-09-22
Abstract: Biased output strings 22 of random values are generated from unbiased input strings 20 with elements having one of at least two values, e.g. zero or one. Code words 24 comprising predetermined sequences of values are associated to output values. A comparison is made between code words and a comparison string formed from input values. When a match is found, the corresponding output value is assigned. The comparison string is formed by adding available input values to the string every time a match with code-words is not found and by discarding it otherwise. Once loaded in the comparison string, input values are no longer available in the input string. By changing the length and number of code-words associated to an output value a user can determine the probability, i.e. the frequency, of each output values. The comparison implements Huffman coding tree structures. Advantages include high efficiency and low consumption of initial bits. Applications include quantum key distribution.
