Title: Method and apparatus for converting thermal energy to mechanical energy
Inventor: CROW DARBY
IPC: F01B29/10
Filed: 2005-11-04
Abstract: A method and apparatus for converting thermal energy to mechanical energy which can use a wide range of fuels and perform with a high efficiency.  Operating on a little utilized thermodynamic cycle of isentropic compression, isothermal expansion, isentropic expansion and finally constant pressure cooling and contraction. The external heat engine utilizes a heat exchanger carrying heat from the external energy source to the working parts of the engine. Pistons and cylinders are activated by appropriate means to adiabatically compress the working fluid, for example ambient air, to transfer the entire mass of the air through the heat exchanger to accomplish isothermal expansion followed by adiabatic expansion and, finally, exhaust the air to ambient to allow for constant pressure cooling and contraction. Valve pistons in conjunction with the cylinders form valves that allow for the exchange of working fluid with ambient. Energy is added to the engine during isothermal expansion, whereby the energy of compression is added by a flywheel or other appropriate energy storage means, said flywheel stores energy recovered during adiabatic expansion. The thermodynamic cycle described and the engine embodiments disclosed, when run in reverse, perform as a heat pump or refrigeration device.

Title: Support de placard
Inventor: ARPIN MICHEL
IPC: G09F7/18
Filed: 2007-04-25
Abstract: Requis par le code de la sécurité routière, le support de placard est fixé sur tous les véhicules et sert à identifier les matières transportées selon la classe de risque. Les placards de styrène sont insérés dans les supports, qui se doivent d'être visibles de tous les angles du véhicule.   Fabriqué à l'aide d'une seule feuille d'aluminium, ce support est monobloc et sa rigidité provient du relief donné à l'aluminium par matriçage.   Neuf ailettes situées sur le pourtour du cadre, combinées aux trois bandes de retenue, plus une attache à pression permettant de maintenir le placard en place en toutes conditions.   Contrairement aux produits existants, le support de placard monobloc ne requiert pas l'utilisation de deux feuilles d'aluminium découpées, gaufrées et superposées, ce qui réduit les coûts de production ainsi que le poids total, tout en remplissant la même fonction que les supports de placard de même type.
