Title: Device and method for converting thermal energy into electrical energy
Inventor: CARVER DAVID REGINALD
IPC: H01L37/00
Filed: 2008-06-06
Abstract: A device and method for using a field-responsive material that changes temperature when subjected to a respective field in combination with a thermal to electrical energy converter to accomplish the generation of electrical energy. The field-responsive material, such as an electrocaloric or magnetocaloric material, changes temperature when subjected to a change in a respective electric or magnetic field. The changing field applied to the field-responsive material causes a temperature change in the field-responsive material to heat or cool the field-responsive material. A thermal to electrical energy converter is in thermal contact with the field-responsive material, such that temperature changes in the field-responsive material in turn changes the temperature of the thermal to electrical energy converter, which the converter then converts into electrical energy. In this manner, the application of an appropriate electric or magnetic field can be utilized to generate thermal energy changes that can be converted into electrical energy.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dust collector (30) that is disposed in an air passageway (15) to which water droplets (21a) are supplied, and that includes a dust collecting electrode portion (31b) which electrically attracts dust charged in the air. The dust collecting electrode portion (31b) is made of a plate-like member having a mesh-like structure with a plurality of pores, thereby reducing an interfacial tension between the water droplets (21a) adhering on the surface of the dust collecting electrode portion (31b) and the dust collecting electrode portion (31b). Thus, water droplets are prevented from increasing in size on the surface of a dust collecting electrode, and a decrease in the dust collection capability due to adhesion of dust or the like is reduced.

Title: Electronic publishing.
Inventor: RISEMAN JOHN H
IPC: G06K15/00
Filed: 1986-02-05
Abstract: A novel electronic printing system for operating both a linear-raster electro-optical display device and a linear-raster type printer, which system is capable of integrating alphanumeric and/or graphics information and gray-scale or picture information, all on a single data base from which one may either (or both) print the data out on the printer as images, or display the data on the display device as images. The system includes look-up tables storing respective first and second subsets of a set of substantially disjoint multiple-bit binary index numbers. Each of the numbers of the first subset represent information corresponding to a respective gray-scale density level rendered as a respective matrix of points forming a corresponding gray-scale cell to be printed by the printer. Each of the numbers of the second subset represent information corresponding to a unique shape of an edge rendered as a respective matrix of points to be printed by the printer. Means are provided for translating an image of the information to be printed and/or displayed into an array of index numbers selected from the subsets, and for storing that array. Conversion means are provided for converting at least a major portion of the array into electrical signals for forming a display of substantially the desired image on the display device and for converting at least a major portion of the array into electrical signals for forming matrices for assemblage as the image in printed form on the printer.

Filed: 1987-04-09
Abstract: Dispositif diviseur pour tourelle permettant de faciliter le sélectionnement d'une position de ralentissement initial d'une tourelle (2) qui s'approche d'une position de sélection d'un outil à laquelle a lieu l'usinage au moyen d'un outil sélectionné. La position de sélection de l'outil et la longueur de l'intervalle de ralentissement sont préréglées par un dispositif manuel d'entrée de données (17). Après une rotation de la tourelle pour passer à la séquence d'usinage suivante, un compteur reversible (5) compte les impulsions émises par un codeur d'impulsions (4). Un micro-ordinateur (10) commande la fermeture d'une vanne (8) régulatrice de débit au moyen d'un dispositif (6) d'entraînement de vanne, aussitôt qu'il a déduit que la tourelle est arrivée à une position de ralentissement initial, grâce au résultat d'une comparaison entre une valeur obtenue en soustrayant la longueur de l'intervalle de ralentissement de la position de sélection de l'outil et de la valeur de comptage d'un compteur. En conséquence, l'alimentation d'un moteur hydraulique en huile pressurisée est réduite, ce qui provoque le ralentissement de la tourelle.
