Patent JP-H0338520-B2 (JP)
IPC: F28F25/08
Filed: 1984-01-20
Abstract: A contact body or evaporative heat and mass exchanger packing composed of a plurality of side-by-side thin sheets interlocked with one another. The sheets are grooved with a serpentine-like, continuously-variable, cross section form to produce a plurality of liquid and gas channels between the sheets. The sheets have integrally-formed knobs and sockets specifically located to provide up-spaced alternate sheet support without utilizing adhesives of any type. The sheets are preferably composed of a thermoplastic material of any desired length, being continuously pressure-vacuum formed from long sheet rolls. The groove crests abut adjacent sheets apices at continuously-variable spacings of both greater and lesser dimension than the basic edge spacing of the serpentine grooves. The flat crests or apices of grooves are also infinitely variable in width dimension while maintaining a constant sidewall groove angle. The individual sheets are rotatably oriented to provide ideal bottom edge alternate sheet displacement for enhancing fluid flow.

Title: Reciprocating piston-type internal combustion engine with resonance charging
Inventor: CSER GYULA
IPC: F02B27/00
Filed: 1988-02-11
Granted: 1990-11-15
Abstract: A reciprocating piston-type internal combustion engine includes an intake gas conduit assembly in which intake gas resonance oscillations are generated for increasing the charging efficiency of the cylinders. The intake gas conduit assembly has a feed resonance system including a feed resonator vessel connected with the intake ports of a group of cylinders whose suction strokes do not significantly overlap and a feed resonance pipe communicating with the feed resonator vessel. The intake gas conduit assembly further has an auxiliary resonance system including a closed auxiliary resonator vessel and an auxiliary resonance pipe opening into the auxiliary resonator vessel, an intermediate resonator vessel coupled with the auxiliary resonance pipe and the feed resonance pipe and an intake gas inlet pipe coupled with the intermediate resonator vessel. The feed resonance system and the auxiliary resonance system are tuned to one another by a dimensional selection such that at a predetermined first resonance rpm of the engine the intake gas oscillations generated in the feed resonance pipe and the auxiliary resonance pipe by intermittent suction strokes of the cylinders forming the group are in phase effecting an increase in the charging efficiency and the intermediate resonator vessel is dimensioned such that at a predetermined second resonance rpm of the engine in an operational rpm range the oscillations in the feed resonance pipe and the auxiliary resonance pipe are of opposite phase, effecting an increase in the charging efficiency.

Title: A vibratory plough assembly
Inventor: O'RIORDAN MICHAEL
IPC: E02F3/36
Filed: 1992-04-16
Granted: 1995-06-01
Abstract: A vibratory plough assembly 201 incorporates a vertical ground parting blade 202 with a front cutting edge 203 and a ripper tooth 208. The blade 202 is bifurcated rearwardly of the cutting edge 203, the blade 202 being formed by two spaced-apart side plates 214. The upper part of the plates 214 constitute a support frame which is pivotally connected by a pin 205 to a base plate 240. Attached rearwardly of the pivot pin 205 and preferably cantilevered beyond the plates 214 is a vibrator unit 232. The vibrator unit 232 when operational provides a vibratory frequency of between 5Hz and 17Hz to the ripper tooth 208 in both a vertical and arcuate path. The pivot pin 205 is preferably located above or forwardly of the cutting edge 203. The base plate 240 and support frame, by virtue of the vibratory unit 232, experience relative movement in the manner of a pair of jaws the mouth of which extends rearwardly. Buffers 252 located between the base plate 240 and the support frame tend to bias the jaws into an open condition. A mounting means 400 enables the assembly 201 to be attached to a tractor vehicle so that in use, a trench is dug by the assembly 201 and cable, which passes from a forward position to a rearward position via cable guides 215 located between the plates 214, can be laid. <IMAGE>

Title: Disc playing aroma generator
Inventor: SPECTOR DONALD
IPC: G11B3/70
Filed: 1983-08-16
Granted: 1987-10-08
Abstract: A disc-playing aroma generator whose appearance and function are analogous to those of a phono disc record player, the user when playing a selected aromatic disc enjoying an olfactory rather than an auditory experience. Each aromatic disc houses a supply of a liquid fragrance whereby when the disc is inserted in the player, an aromatic vapor is then discharged into the atmosphere. The disc is formed by a circular sheet of absorbent material impregnated with the liquid fragrance and sandwiched between a pair of annular plastic films which are peripherally joined to create a central zone exposing the impregnated sheet. In the player, heated air under positive pressure is forced through the central zone to volatilize the liquid to produce a vapor which is discharged through vents in the casing of the player. The aromatic disc is packaged in a transparent sleeve having circular spindle labels on both sides thereof which overlie the central zone to impart thereto the appearance of a conventional phone record and serving to identify the fragrance.
