  • Tile type flooring in which printing and cutting patterns are harmonious and process for preparing the same
    Patent number: 8298654
    Abstract: A tile type flooring in which printing and cutting patterns coincide with each other, and a process for preparing the same. Band pattern portions (32) are respectively formed at neighboring two sides of each of main pattern portions (31) and synchronizing cutting is performed. Thereby, the total width of the band pattern portions (32) of each of tiles is uniformly narrowed. The tile type flooring has an aesthetic external appearance, and the tiles are naturally connected, thus expressing the reality of natural resources and the luxurious appearance. Further, if necessary, the flooring employs a size reinforcing layer (50) and has a transparent layer (20) and a first base layer (40), and a second base layer (60) and a balance layer (70), which are symmetrically stacked on the upper and lower surfaces of the size reinforcing layer (50), thus reducing defects caused by size instability of the flooring.

  • Thermally activated high efficiency heat pump
    Patent number: 8297065
    Abstract: A vapor compression cycle system is combined with a Rankine cycle system, with the two systems having a common suction accumulator from which the compressor draws refrigerant vapor for the vapor compression cycle system and from which a pump draws liquid refrigerant for circulation within the Rankine cycle system. The vapor from the Rankine cycle system expander is passed to the compressor discharge to provide a mixture which is circulated within the vapor compression cycle system to obtain improved performance. The heat exchangers are sized so as to obtain a non-complete evaporation, with the resulting two-phase fluid passing to the suction accumulator to provide liquid refrigerant to the Rankine cycle system and vapor refrigerant to the vapor compression cycle system.
