  • Publication number: 20240098936
    Abstract: The present invention discloses microtextures for a thin-film evaporation. The microstructure is called as wedged micropillar and a forest of these micropillar helps in maintaining a thin-film of liquid over the heat sink surface through capillary action. The inherent sharp corners of these wedged micropillars drives the liquid filament along the vertical direction and the large mean curvature of the liquid meniscus provides high capillary pumping pressure. At the same time, these microstructures can offer high permeability for liquid flow thereby leading to low viscous pressure loss as compared to the cylindrical microstructured heat sink. As a result of these, the predicted dryout heat flux for thin-film evaporation is more than twice that of the conventional cylindrical microstructures. Also, we have proposed a combined architecture of wedged and cylindrical micropillars for hotspot-targeted cooling application.

  • Patent number: 11671639
    Abstract: A device may receive content data identifying television schedules for content to be provided for viewing in a first geographic location and a second geographic location, and may identify a first available time slot for content in the first geographic location and a second available time slot for content in the second geographic location. The device may identify a first set of content for the first available time slot and a second set of content for the second available time slot, and may assign values to the first and second sets. The device may determine whether the values assigned to the first and second sets satisfy a threshold value, and may cause, when a value of content in the first set fails to satisfy the threshold value, a first client device, in the first geographic location, to obtain replacement content with a value that satisfies the threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20180325748
    Abstract: The main objective of the present invention is to demonstrate a biocompatible polymer matrix in feminine hygiene products. Another objective of the invention is to produce the biocompatible polymer matrix in the form of non-woven nanofibers so as to enhance the properties such as surface area, absorption rate, tensile strength etc. Yet another objective of the present invention is to study the effect of SAP on the absorpotion capacity of absorbent matrix prepared as mentioned above. Accordingly, the present invention discloses an eco-friendly sanitary napkin characterized with absorbancy core having enhanced properties like absorbancy, tensile strength etc., without addition of SAP.

  • Patent number: 5132996
    Abstract: A linear detector selectively detects successive line images from different angles while the linear detector and a radiation source are rotated about a patient. Radiation-transmission images are generated and detected and converted to computer-grabbed images by a computer which acquires, processes, stores and reconstructs the images. A visual monitor display reconstructs video images including a planar image and tomographic images representing sections orthogonal to the planar image. Selectively-positionable field-delineating lines corresponding to intersectional outlines between a simulation beam and the planar image are overlaid on the planar image. Beam-delineating lines are updated by the computer to correspond to intersectional outlines as the field-delineating lines are positioned.
