US Patent:

6438992, Aug 27, 2002

Filed:

Oct 18, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/691436

Inventors:

Douglas Smith - Albuquerque NM
Kevin Roderick - Albuquerque NM
Robert Braun - Albuquerque NM

Assignee:

Thermal Products Development, Inc. - Glendale CA

International Classification:

F25B 1708

US Classification:

62480, 62487, 624579

Abstract:

Disclosed is an evacuated sorbent assembly for coupling to a liquid refrigerant reservoir and a cooling device comprised of at least one sorbent section, at least one liquid passageway section, at least one wicking material, at least one thermal spacer, a vapor-permeable membrane, a heat-removing material, at least one liquid barrier, a liquid refrigerant reservoir, and a valve. The sorbent section contains a sorbent for a liquid refrigerant. The liquid passageway section is adjacent the sorbent section and defines a liquid passageway through a portion of the evacuated sorbent assembly and cooling device to the sorbent section. The wicking material is disposed in the liquid passageway section. The thermal spacer is in contact with the sorbent section. The vapor-permeable membrane is interposed between the liquid passageway section and the thermal spacer.

Appl. No.:

10/329588

Inventors:

Jeremy James Michael Papadopoulos - Green Bay WI
Robert W. Braun - Appleton WI
Joseph R. Bero - Green Bay WI

Assignee:

Paper Converting Machine Co. - Green Bay WI

International Classification:

B41F 1310

US Classification:

101376, 101375, 101329, 101479, 428 369, 492 38, 492 28, 279 32, 279 5, 279 6

Abstract:

A sleeve is provided with a clamp for removably clamping the sleeve on a mandrel. A rigid ring is mounted inside of the sleeve at each end of the sleeve. Each ring has a generally cylindrical inside surface which includes a curved contact portion which extends for less than 180 degrees and which is engageable with the outside surface of the mandrel. A curved clamp arm is pivotally secured at one end thereof to each ring. An eccentric shaft extends through an opening in the other end of the clamp arm. Rotation of the eccentric shaft moves the clamp arm toward the contact portion of the ring so that the mandrel can be clamped between the clamp arm and the contact portion.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Jon Pas - Appleton WI, US
Dale Zeman - Denmark WI, US
Robert Braun - Appleton WI, US

International Classification:

B41F005/00

US Classification:

101216000

Abstract:

This invention uses a combination of a rotor (rotating) component of an electromagnet motor that is integrated as part of a driven rotational load and immersed within an longer stator (stationary) component of the motor allowing for axial motion of the load (rotor) independent of the motor stator and housing. An alternative covered by this disclosure is a rotor that is longer relative to the length of the stator. The directly driven load provides improved rigidity for torque transmission and superior control performance. The axial motion capability lends itself to other functions such as printing sleeve removal for exchange purposes in a flexographic press.
