Patent number: 10724725Abstract: Disclosed is a laser-based device for use primarily for laser light effects. The laser device comprises multiple red, green, and blue lasers. Each laser has a lens to collimate and focus each individual beam. The lasers are aligned such that each laser shares a common output axis. The intensity of each laser is adjustable thereby allowing the overall output color of the device to change. The overall output has over 16 million colors. Each laser-based device has a gimbal-like system to allow the devices change their orientation. A remote control system allows for the control and synchronization of multiple devices. Multiple devices may connect to the remote control system using cables, wireless transceivers, or both. Multiple devices may be located in close proximity to create a more powerful overall output beam. The remote control system allows for viewer interaction through an application installed onto a personal communication device.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Inventors: Timothy Lee Anderson, Tomas Kovacs

Patent number: 9518782Abstract: The invention refers to a plate heat exchanger where the heat exchanger comprises a first flow channel between a first plate and a second plate, and where the flow channel comprises a lower distribution passage, a heat transfer passage and an upper distribution passage, where the heat transfer passage is vertically divided in a lower and an upper heat transfer passage and where the lower heat transfer passage is horizontally divided in a plurality of adjacent heat transfer zones, where the intermediate angle between the ridges and grooves in any of the heat transfer zones of the lower heat transfer passage is at least 30° larger than the intermediate angle of the ridges and grooves of the upper heat transfer passage. The advantage of the invention is that an improved heat exchanger is provided, having an increased thermal performance and an improved evaporation capacity.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2009Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: ALFA LAVAL CORPORATED ABInventors: Fredrik Blomgren, Martin Holm, Tomas Kovacs

Patent number: 9400141Abstract: The invention refers to a plate heat exchanger comprising a first end plate (1), a second end plate (2) and a number of heat exchanger plates (3), forming first plate interspaces (I) and second plate interspaces (II), in alternating order. The heat exchanger plates comprise a first outermost plate pair (5), a second outermost plate pair (6) and intermediate plate pairs (7). The first end plate and the heat exchanger plates comprise first porthole areas (11, 12) for first porthole channels (13, 14) for the formation of inlet and outlet for a first medium to and from the first plate interspaces, and second porthole areas (21, 22) for the formation of second porthole channels (23, 24) for inlet and outlet for a second medium to and from the second plate interspaces. The first porthole areas of the heat exchanger plates of the second outermost plate pair form portholes and the second porthole areas of these heat exchanger plates are closed.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2009Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: ALFA LAVAL CORPORATE ABInventors: Helén Gustafsson, Tomas Kovacs
