20080223556PUMP-FREE WATER-COOLING SYSTEM - A pump-free water-cooling system is provided wherein external power supply is not involved; heat can be transported in any direction; and high reliability and low thermal resistance are ensured.09-18-2008
20090071631VAPOR-LIFT PUMP HEAT TRANSPORT APPARATUS - A vapor-lift pump heat transport apparatus having a small heat resistance and a large heat transport capacity. A heat exchange circulating solution container has a first space and a second space communicating with the first space through a communication opening and contains a heat exchange circulating solution, and vapor thereof, in each space. A circulating solution transport passage includes a pipe connected to the solution outlet of the container and provided with a sensible heat releasing heat exchanger, a pipe disposed in the container, and a pipe connected to a vapor-liquid two-phase fluid inlet and provided with a heating heat exchanger. A vapor-liquid two-phase fluid flows into only the first space through the vapor-liquid two-phase fluid inlet. When the entrance of the vapor-liquid two-phase fluid has caused a pressure difference between the first and second spaces, a difference occurs between the positions of the vapor-liquid interfaces in the first and second spaces.03-19-2009
20090080159HEAT SINK AND COOLING UNIT USING THE SAME - A heat sink including a compact cooling system, superior uniformity of heating, provides a compact cooling unit superior in uniformity of cooling. A heat sink includes a header for distribution connected to a cooling fluid inlet, a header for confluence connected to a cooling fluid outlet and parallel to and adjacent to the header for distribution and a heat transfer vessel including a heating element mounting surface as well as channels inside. The channels are connected to the header for distribution and the header for confluence.03-26-2009
20090114372HEAT SINK - A heat sink includes a heat-transfer container incorporating a flow path through which a cooling fluid flows, for cooling a heating element in contact with the heat-transfer container The flow path includes a first cross-sectional portion that becomes narrower as the distance between a given point in the flow path and a side of the heat-transfer container which makes contact with the heating element becomes longer in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the cooling fluid flows, and a second cross-sectional portion that is approximately constant in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which the cooling fluid flows. The first cross-sectional portion and the second cross-sectional portion alternately continue in the direction in which the cooling fluid flows causing a three-dimensional flow so the heat-transfer properties are enhanced with a simplified structure.05-07-2009
20090279524METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING CONTROL SIGNALING OVERHEAD IN HYBRID WIRELESS NETWORK - Embodiments of the present invention include a method and apparatus for reducing control signaling overhead in a hybrid wireless network. The method comprises receiving a wireless frame in the hybrid wireless network at a first terminal, and determining whether the received wireless frame is a control frame for a wireless channel reservation; if the received wireless frame is a control frame for the wireless channel reservation, reading by the first terminal a value of Duration field in control frame, and updating a timer for a channel reservation period in the first terminal with the value of Duration field, instead of updating network allocation vector of the first terminal; determining whether the remaining time of the timer for the channel reservation period is longer than the time required for transmitting the data frame or not before transmitting a data frame by the first terminal; and transmitting the data frame directly by the first terminal without transmission of a control frame for the wireless channel reservation if the remaining time is longer than the time required for transmitting the data frame.11-12-2009
20100084173CERAMIC POWDER FOR A GREEN SHEET AND MULTILAYER CERAMIC SUBSTRATE - Provided is a ceramic powder for a green sheet that gives a low-temperature fired ceramic substrate that can be fired at a temperature of 900° C. or lower and has excellent dielectric properties in the higher frequency bands such as microwave and millimeter-wave bands, has a low hygroscopicity, and has minor warping and creasing even in the case of co-firing with a silver-based conductor paste, the ceramic powder for a green sheet including a glass powder and an alumina powder, in which the glass powder contains 35 to 39% by weight of SiO04-08-2010
20100302696RELAY FAILURE DETECTING DEVICE - A relay failure detecting device able to detect reliably a fault in a relay circuit that provides alternating current power to a load through a relay that is a double-pole switch. Individual common terminals of first and second relays are connected individually to a pair of outputs terminals of an alternating current power supply, individual normally-open terminals of the first and second relays are connected to a pair of power supply input terminals, and a dummy load that is driven by the alternating current power supply through a diode between the individual normally-closed terminals of the first and second relays is provided. A fault in the first and second relays is evaluated from the state of operation of the dummy load when the first and second relays are not driven.12-02-2010
20100306630SYSTEM FOR SENDING SIGNALS BETWEEN MODULES - A system for transmission of signals between modules wherein, for example, it is possible to transmit reliably, between modules, information relating to, for example, the actuation of safety devices. A transmission module for transmitting a pulse signal of a specific period, which indicates the existence of information, generates, in time division, pulse signals by a plurality of signal generating units that are provided in parallel, and then combines these pulse signals into a single time series pulse signal. Then an attempt is made to output this pulse signal towards a receiving-side module through a relay for controlling the output, and the signals appearing at a normally-open terminal and at a normally-closed terminal of the relay are monitored to determine whether or not there is a failure, where the generation of the pulse signal is stopped when a failure is detected.12-02-2010
20100307387COMBUSTION FURNACE CONTROL APPARATUS - A combustion furnace control apparatus for which an operation control system that ensures the combustion safety of the combustion furnace can be constructed easily. Interlocks pertaining to the safe operation of a combustion furnace are classified as a 112-09-2010
