Publication number: 20230090833Abstract: Disclosed are aspects of apparatuses and methods of fitting a cooling device to a circuit board for cooling a high-power electronic component mounted on the circuit board. Cooling apparatuses, and arrangement thereof, are also described. The method provides the cooling device with a cooling surface having a cooling area for thermally connecting to a to-be-cooled surface of the electronic component. Fixing elements are provided for moving the cooling surface towards the circuit board. A distance position ādā of the to-be-cooled surface from the circuit board is determined, and on this basis spacer elements are selected to be interposed between the cooling device and the circuit board to limit the movement by the fixing elements to a position where the cooling area is in proximity to the to-be-cooled surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Frank H. Adam, Falk Rademacher

Patent number: 4515105Abstract: A plastics material covered metal electrode maintains an electrostatic field dissipating the particles of fine dry powdered dielectric material such as flour or starch to create a cloud or dry mist of the powder in the path of freshly inked sheets as they are discharged from a printing press to prevent smudging of the ink and sticking together of the successive sheets as they are stacked. The electrostatic field is formed across the path of the powder as it is discharged from a supply trough by energizing the electrode with a high voltage current. The plastic covered electrode replaces heretofore required neon gas filled glass tubes which are fragile and burn out. The preferred plastic covering for the electrode is a thermoplastic polyetherimide resin marketed under the name of "Ultem" by General Electric Company of Pittsfield, Mass.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1982Date of Patent: May 7, 1985Inventors: William E. Danta, Frank H. Adams

Patent number: 4323067Abstract: A combination breast pump and gavage feeding apparatus and method, the apparatus including means for applying suction to the nipple portion of a mammary gland while accommodating manual manipulation of the mammary gland for colostrum extraction and improved lactation. A pulse unit may also be included in the apparatus to impart the desired manipulatory action to at least the areola portion of the breast engaged by the breast pump. Air pressure and wall thickness and contour of the pulse unit are used in the pulse unit to provide the desired manipulatory action. The apparatus also includes interchangeable reservoir means for collecting the colostrum and/or milk therein for subsequent oral feeding and/or gavage feeding. A syringe barrel is configurated as the reservoir means for the gavage feeding portion of the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 1978Date of Patent: April 6, 1982Inventor: Frank H. Adams

Patent number: 4263912Abstract: A milking apparatus and method for improved lactation, the apparatus including means for applying suction to at least the nipple portion of a mammary gland while simultaneously and/or selectively imparting a constrictive, manipulatory force to the nipple and/or the mammary gland adjacent the nipple. An inflatable toroidal member is adapted to be placed in encirclement of the nipple portion of the mammary gland. The manipulatory force is supplied by selectively inflating the inflatable toroidal member. Inflation of the toroid causes an inner wall surface to be distended inwardly thereby imparting a constrictive force to the nipple and/or adjacent, underlying mammary gland. The toroidal member may also be provided with an inner wall thickness which is selectively predetermined so as to be preferentially distended during inflation of the toroidal member.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1979Date of Patent: April 28, 1981Inventor: Frank H. Adams
