20090044408 | Fin-Tube Heat Exchanger Collar, and Method of Making Same - A method for forming collars in a thermally conductive plate is provided. The method includes the steps of placing a thermally conductive plate, or fin stock, within a press, and then advancing the plate through the press in order to draw a desired amount of ductile material from a plurality of collar locations within the plate. The ductile material is used in forming the collars. The method also includes further advancing the plate in order to pierce the material at the collar locations, thereby creating a plurality of through-openings in the plate. Each through-opening defines a radial wall having a proximal end and a distal end. The press is used to fold material at the distal end of the respective walls inwardly into substantial contact with an inner diameter of the walls. In this way, a plurality of collars having a first flare are formed. The material is further advanced through the press so that the distal ends of the collars are flared outwardly, thereby forming double flare collars. A reflare punch is used in forming the double flare collars at the plurality of collar locations. | 2009-02-19 |

20090044417 | Omni-directional Lens in Sundials and Solar Compasses - To date, the existing sundials and solar compasses use a gnomon, such as a stylet, to project a shadow under the sun on a marked surface to find the time or the true north. Because of the fussiness of the shadow and the dependence of the position of the sun with the day of the year (equation of time), the accuracy is low. The present invention discloses an omni-directional lens, which can focus the sun beam into a sharp spot with a long depth of field. By projecting the spot on a cylindrical panel, both the day of the year and the time of the day can be read off simultaneously with very high accuracy. Because of the simultaneous displaying of time and date, no equation-of-time correction is required. If the time is known, the true north can be determined with high accuracy, and the device becomes a reliable and easy-to-use solar compass. | 2009-02-19 |
20090044418 | Automatic Solar Compass - The most accurate method of finding the true north is through astronomical observations, for example, by observing the position of the sun. However, the procedure is complicated. The instantaneous position of the sun must be calculated from astronomical data for each instance of observation, and the operator must wait for the predetermined time to come. Elaborate manual adjustments are required. The present invention discloses an automatic solar compass comprising a cylindrical omni-directional lens, a detection means, and a servomechanism. It is as easy to use as the magnetic compass, but much more accurate and reliable than the magnetic compass. | 2009-02-19 |

The swirling mist undergoes drying and particle formation at a relatively low temperature. The flow continues to swirl and drying process continues with repeated passes until the required drying duration is reached. This dryer structure allows for a compact dryer with full control of residence time. | 2009-02-19 |
