  • Patent number: 9739195
    Abstract: A system for increasing air flow across a heat exchanger of a vehicle is described. In one particular example, the system comprises a charge-air cooler coupled via upper and lower brackets to a vehicle body, and an axial dual fan connected to the upper and lower brackets via one or more isolators. With this arrangement, the cooling system described allows for vehicle performance to be enhanced while also increasing the durability and robustness of the system and reducing the noise produced therefrom.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5574767
    Abstract: An X-ray film cassette holder which is small, lightweight, simple and economical to construct and use, having a base carrying an expandable frame incorporating two upwardly expandable risers releasably lockable in a plurality of expanded positions, said risers separated by a releasably lockable variable distance; and two film cassette clamps, each of which is pivotably carried by one of said upwardly expandable risers, and releasably lockable in fixed relation thereto, as well as provision for releasably lockable rotatable mounting of a cassette tray sized within a range determined by the variable distance between said risers on said frame, collectively adapted to hold cassettes steadily in a range of vertical positions above a surface whereon it is placed, at any inclination, and being rotatable on said surface, providing desirable adjustability for positioning an X-ray film cassette adjacent a portion of a patient's anatomy for convenient imaging thereof.
