20120205068 | HIGH EFFICIENCY CASCADE-STYLE HEAT EXCHANGER - A heat exchanger used for wind tunnel temperature control applications. The heat exchanger is a finned tube design with each tube aligned perpendicular to the wind tunnel flow direction but with the tube bundle aligned at an oblique angle to flow direction for increased surface area. Tube fins may be aligned with the bulk flow direction. The heat exchanger is built in modules with horizontal splitter plates separating each tube bundle. The benefit of this heat exchanger design for wind tunnel applications is the combination of low pressure loss and favorable heat transfer performance in a compact design, while maintaining flow quality consistent with stringent test requirements. | 08-16-2012 |

20100321841 | ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PROTECTION CIRCUIT - Disclosed herein are embodiments of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits. In certain embodiments an ESD protection circuit may include two series resistor-capacitor (RC) circuits. One series RC circuit may have a short time constant and may selectively activate a current shunt between two power rails in response to an ESD event. Accordingly, the ESD circuit may be able to respond to fast ramping ESD events. The other series RC circuit has a longer time constant, and maintains the current shunt in an active state for a sufficient amount of time to allow the ESD event to be completely discharged. | 12-23-2010 |
