Inventor: POLK DALE E
IPC: F24S10/30
Filed: 2010-01-13
Abstract: A heat exchange panel (1) that includes a lower plate (11 ) and an upper plate (14) that together define a plurality of channels (51 ) there-between, which are in fluid communication with a plurality of upper plate extension passages (72), is described. The lower plate (11) includes a plurality of lower plate extensions (20) that extend upwardly from the interior surface (17) of the lower plate. Each channel (51) has at least one lower plate extension (20) extending upwardly therefrom. The upper plate (14) includes a plurality of upwardly extending hollow upper plate extensions (32). The aperture (42) and interior hollow space (48) of each upper plate extension (32) is aligned with and receives an upper portion (69) of a single lower plate extension (20) therein. A portion of the interior surfaces (45) that define the interior hollow space (48) of the upper plate extension (32), and a portion of the exterior surfaces (23) of the upper portion (69) of the lower plate extension (20) received within the interior hollow space (48) together define, in each case, an upper plate extension passage (72). Each upper plate extension passage (72) is in fluid communication with a channel (51 ) residing there-under. In operation, a fluid introduced into a terminal inlet (54) of a channel (51) passes through each upper plate extension channel (72) in fluid communication with that channel, and passes out from the terminal outlet (57) of the channel. The combination of a plurality of upper plate extension passages (72) and channels (51 ) in common fluid communication provide the heat exchange panel of the present invention with improved heat exchange efficiencies.

Title: Hazard detection subsystem for use in a home security surveillance system
Inventor: SUZUKI JUNICHI
IPC: G08B25/00
Filed: 2009-02-27
Abstract: A hazard detection subsystem for use in an integrated home security surveillance system. The subsystem has a gateway unit and detection terminals each configured to detect a hazardous condition and issue a hazard signal upon detection of such condition. The gateway unit acts as an interface to the surveillance system to notify the hazardous condition in the form of an aid-requesting signal. The detection terminal is of a universal design which selectively functions as a master and a slave. The master generates a linking hazard signal to all the detection terminals for generating the alarm at each of the terminals, while the slave transmits an aid-requesting signal to the gateway unit in addition to the hazard signal. An assigning means is included in the gateway unit to assign the master to one of the detection terminals that is energized to establish communication first with the gateway unit, and assign the slave to the other detection terminal that is energized to establish communicate later with the gateway unit.

Inventor: MALONEY MICHAEL
IPC: B21D39/00
Filed: 2010-05-07
Abstract: A clinch-type fastener is formed by simultaneously creating an undercut during the same forging that creates the head and displacer of the fastener. A fastener blank is compressed end- to-end between top and bottom dies whereby the axial compression of a blank causes the outward bulging of the shank at its midline. Simultaneously, a tapered end point and a tangential interference band are formed provided by a curvilinear-shaped bulge in the shank. As the bulge is formed an undercut is created between the bulge and a shoulder which extends downwardly from a head of the fastener. This method of formation and the fastener produced thereby are particularly suited to the manufacture of small clinch pins having a diameter in the range of 1.0 mm.
