Patent number: 11262139Abstract: A heat exchanger for cooling a gas includes a gas inlet, a gas outlet, and a plurality of cooling tubes arranged between the gas inlet and the gas outlet, wherein the cooling tubes of two successive tube rows are arranged offset transversely to a flow direction of the gas. A fin having openings is provided for receiving a corresponding number of the cooling tubes. The fin has slits arranged at a distance from the openings and configured to follow an edge profile of a honeycomb-shaped hexagon, with the slits of each hexagon surrounding a corresponding one of the openings at the distance. Arranged between adjacent ones of the openings is a corresponding one of the slits at a same distance from each of the adjacent openings, with each slit having an end ending at a deformation point of the fin.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Kelvion Machine Cooling Systems GmbHInventors: Andreas Schlieper, Frank Kornetzky, Sentuerk Oruc, Matthias Klein-Lassek, Dietmar Krauss, Martin Lohbreyer

Patent number: 9813751Abstract: A server machine and a first device (e.g., a television) are configured to access a stream of media (e.g., a broadcast channel) from a media source (e.g., a broadcaster). The server machine generates a representation (e.g., a fingerprint) of the stream of media and stores the representation. The first device plays the stream of media (e.g., for a user) and generates an analog signal based on the stream of media. A second device (e.g., a mobile device of the user) is configured to receive the analog signal and generate a representation of the analog signal. The second device provides the representation of the analog signal to the server machine, which may compare the representation of the stream of media to the representation of the analog signal. Based on the comparison, the server machine may provide an identifier of the media source to the second device.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2016Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Gracenote, Inc.Inventors: Tassilo Raesig, Frank Heider, Dietmar Krauss

Patent number: 9188037Abstract: For exhaust gas recirculation in internal combustion engines operating, for example, with low sulphur marine diesel oil, an exhaust gas cooler with a cooling unit may be applied that uses a liquid injection system to maintain clean and/or clean a cooling surface of the cooling unit. The liquid injection system may provide liquid into an exhaust gas passage upstream of and or along a condensation starting region the cooling surface, thereby reducing the formation of films and deposits from particulate matter and condensing liquid of an evaporated liquid within the exhaust gas such as sulphuric acid and/or water, as those deposits could otherwise at least partially block the exhaust gas cooler.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignees: HX HOLDING GMBH, CATERPILLAR MOTOREN GMBH & CO.
