Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for cooling waste gas, comprising an inlet area (1) for guiding a flow of waste gas, an outlet area (2) for discharging the optionally cooled waste gas, and a longitudinal housing (1) for receiving exchanging means (13) for heat exchange. The flow of waste gas flows through the exchanging means (13) on the way from the inlet area to the outlet area. The inlet area (2) and the outlet area (3) are arranged respectively on end areas of the housing (1) which are opposite in relation to the longitudinal direction. The flow of waste gas flows through the exchanging means (13) on a first flow path (16) and also on a second flow path (17) which is counter thereto.
Abstract:
A computer system (e.g., and method) includes an input device for inputting valuation data, a display device for displaying asset/liability modeling (ALM) data, and a central processing unit (CPU) for utilizing an ALM software application to process the valuation data to generate the ALM data, and generating for display on the display device a display screen which includes the ALM data and a mechanism for incorporating the ALM data into another software application.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for preventing circuit failures due to gate oxide leakage, and is used to efficiently check many nets of a circuit on a chip or within a macro to find logical fails due to gate oxide leakage using DC calculations, wherein the gate leakage is treated as a noise source for a static noise analysis of the circuit.
Abstract:
An improved cover assembly for the electrical connectors of a notebook computer. The notebook computer of the present invention is adapted to be connected by electrical connectors with an expansion base. The improved cover assembly includes a cover plate hinged to the housing of the notebook computer movable relative to the housing between an uncovered position and a retained position. The cover plate includes a slidable door being sized so as to allow connection of a preselected connector of the notebook computer. The improved cover assembly can be adapted to allow the notebook computer to be connected to the expansion base while the remaining notebook computer electrical connectors are covered to reduce the amount of undesirable foreign matter in the open ended connectors that can reduce connection performance.
Abstract:
A tool particularly useful for facilitating the removal of a torsion bar employed as a spring element, particularly in automobiles such as the familiar Volkswagon rear-engine models. The torsion bar exerts a normal torque holding a spline-connected cantilever bar against a stop integral with a fixed structural member. The tool engages the arm adjacent its cantilevered end and applies a force increasing the torsion bar reaction force sufficient to dislodge it from the stop so that the cantilever bar can be forced outwardly by separate means to disengage the torsion bar-to-cantilever arm spline connection by a sufficient amount to allow controlled de-torquing rotation of the arm without encountering the stop. The spline connection may be subsequently fully disengaged and the torsion bar removed from its internal structural anchor. The tool includes an elongated closed frame forming an internal pocket within one end, a jack situated within the internal pocket and engagement hardware at the other end of the frame for connecting to a structural member of the vehicle.
