  • Patent number: 10859315
    Abstract: A system for heating, drying or curing an object, the system comprising a housing having a first wall and at least one second wall adjacent the first wall. The first wall and at least one second wall define an interior for holding an object to be heated, dried or cured. The system also includes an air plenum adjacent to, covering and disposed inward from the first wall, and at least one air plenum opening in the air plenum to supply air into the interior. A fan is disposed in the one air plenum opening. The system also includes a ductwork assembly adjacent to, covering and disposed inward from the second wall. The ductwork assembly is in air-communication with the air plenum, and has a ductwork opening so that substantially all air circulation in the interior is between the air plenum opening and the ductwork opening.

  • Patent number: 8960207
    Abstract: A washer adapted to wash a part with a solution, the washer comprising spaced apart sidewalls, and at least one arm rotatably mounted near its center on at least one of the sidewalls. The arm has one end and another end, a central portion, and an angled portion near the one arm end and angled relative to its adjacent arm central portion. The washer also includes a plurality of nozzles spaced apart along the arm central portion and the arm angled portion between near the one arm end and near the other arm end.

  • Patent number: 7264467
    Abstract: A convection oven that achieves a substantially enhanced degree of air flow through the use of a special nozzle design. Turbo flow air nozzles create an air flow pattern to provide higher velocity airflow with a smaller fan size and ductwork. The turbo flow air nozzles include main supply nozzles that direct high velocity air through air entrainment and mixing sections that entrain air from the oven interior to generate the increased air flow in a heat transfer zone of the oven. Appropriate ductwork is provided to direct air from a fan or fans to the supply nozzles to generate a high velocity air flow therethrough.

  • Patent number: 6226374
    Abstract: Existing and new service provisioning capacity in an AIN is determined by calculating processor utilization. Existing service demand and component usage information is automatically acquired from the AIN. ISP service data and SCP configuration descriptions are updated as needed. For each new service modeled, a call processing record is developed. A time of day usage for each service is also entered. For each city in the region covered by the AIN, demand forecasts for each new service in the city is determined. Utilization is determined for SCPs, ISPs, and SPACE systems provisioning capacity.
