20100230081 | Corrugated Micro Tube Heat Exchanger - A heat exchanger device having a plurality of substantially parallel tubes. Each tube has an outer diameter which is less than or equal to one millimeter and further includes a first end portion and a second end portion. A first manifold forms an inlet for the first fluid and further forms a plurality of first openings, whereby each of the first end portions of the parallel tubes is attached in a sealed manner to the first manifold so that each tube is in fluid communication with a respective one of the first openings. A second manifold spaced from and opposing the first manifold forms an outlet for the first fluid and further forms a plurality of second openings, whereby each of the second end portions of the parallel tubes is attached in a sealed manner to the second manifold so that each tube is in fluid communication with a respective one of the second openings. The plurality of substantially parallel tubes are laterally disposed relative to one another so that they form at least one corrugated pattern when viewed in an imaginary plane which intersects and is perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the tubes. | 09-16-2010 |
20110024037 | Method for Manufacturing A Micro Tube Heat Exchanger - A method including disposing a first end plate adjacent to a second end plate, wherein the first end plate and second end plate each define a pattern of apertures. The first end plate is aligned with the second end plate such that the pattern of apertures in the first end plate is substantially aligned with the pattern of apertures in the second end plate. The method includes placing an end portion of each of a plurality of micro tubes in contact with the first end plate, the micro tubes being substantially vertically disposed and substantially perpendicular to a top surface of the first end plate, so as to place the micro tubes on the first end plate, and vibrating at least one of the micro tubes while the micro tubes are on the first end plate, thereby causing the micro tubes to insert into and through respective aligned apertures of the patterns of apertures in the first end plate and the second end plate. The method further includes separating the first end plate from the second end plate while the micro tubes extend therethrough, until the first end plate and the second end plate are disposed proximate to respective end portions of the micro tubes extending therethrough, and affixing each end portion of the micro tubes to a respective end plate, thereby forming a pathway in a micro tube heat exchanger component for the flow of an internal fluid to be heated or cooled by external flow of an external fluid. | 02-03-2011 |
20120211158 | Method for Manufacturing A Micro Tube Heat Exchanger - Method for fabricating a heat exchanger which, in one aspect, includes providing a stack of a plurality of lamina each of which defines a pattern of lamina apertures, the apertures being substantially alignable in the stack; disposing a plurality of microtubes through respective aligned lamina apertures extending through and defined by the stack of lamina so as to form a subassembly, a clearance existing between each of the microtubes and their respective aligned apertures when the microtubes are so disposed; and adhering together the lamina in the stack and the plurality of microtubes so disposed while forming a seal at the clearances. | 08-23-2012 |

20080205038 | Chalk holding device with light - A chalk holding device for marking up dry walled walls of a building uses a pole that has a chalk holder at one end wherein chalk is received within the holder and. locked in place via a compression ring. The pole may be threadably attached to an additional extension pole on the end opposite the chalk holding end. A light source is attached to the pole either by clamping the light source and attaching the clamp to the pole via another clamp, via adhesion or welding, or other appropriate attachment method, or the light source is an LED ring such that the pole passes through a central opening of the LED ring with the ring attached to the pole. | 08-28-2008 |

20150270985 | WIRELINE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD EMPLOYING A MILITARY STANDARD 1553 BUS - A wireline communication system and method are provided that utilize a military standard 1553 bus to transmit both military standard 1553 communication signals and other communication signals, such as those transmitted in accordance with another communications protocol. A wireline communication system may include a military standard 1553 bus and a military standard 1553 node configured to communicate with military standard 1553 communication signals at a first predefined range of frequencies. The wireline communication system further includes a first interface node configured to communicate via the military standard 1553 bus with second communication signals having a second predefined range of frequencies, different than the first predefined range of frequencies. The second communication signals are transmitted along the military standard 1553 bus at less than a predetermined decibel level. The second predefined range of frequencies and the predetermined decibel level are selected to limit interference between the different signals. | 09-24-2015 |
