Abstract: A tubular heat exchanger, with a thermoelectric power generation function, includes: a thermoelectric power generation module 2 mounted on an outer circumferential surface of the heat exhaust tube 1; and a cooling pipe 3 mounted on an outer circumferential surface of the thermoelectric power generation module 2. The cooling pipe 3 is for allowing a cooling material to flow therethrough. The thermoelectric power generation module 2 performs thermoelectric power generation by using the outer circumferential surface of the heat exhaust tube 1 as a high-temperature source and using the inner circumferential surface of the cooling pipe 3 as a low-temperature source. The cooling pipe 3 is in tight attachment to the outer circumferential surface of the thermoelectric power generation module 2.
Abstract: An audio processor for reproducing multichannel audio has a normal layer processing and a lower layer processing. The normal layer processing is configured for processing one or more channels of the object-specific audio or the multichannel audio belonging to a normal layer. The lower layer processing is configured for processing at least one channel or more channels of the object-specific audio or the multichannel audio belonging to a lower layer. The lower layer processing is configured to feed at least one signal belonging to the one channel or the more channels of the lower layer to a subwoofer output.

Abstract: An electrophoretic display includes an electrophoretic medium having a non-polar fluid and two sets of charged pigment particles dispersed in the non-polar fluid and movable through the non-polar fluid under influence of an electric field. The two sets of charged pigment particles have different optical characteristics from each other. The display also includes a light-transmissive electrode on one side of the electrophoretic medium, a rear electrode on an opposite side of the electrophoretic medium, and a dielectric layer having a dielectric constant greater than 5 between the electrophoretic medium and the light-transmissive electrode or between the electrophoretic medium and the rear electrode configured to reduce electrode electrochemical degradation and buildup of remnant voltages in the display.

Abstract: A flush valve includes a housing having a first end and a second end, a piston stem extending between the first end and the second end, a piston stem fore end coupled to the piston stem, a first O-ring and a second O-ring defining a control chamber therebetween, and a solenoid valve in fluid communication with the control chamber. The piston stem fore end is positioned toward the second end when in a closed position. In an energized state, the solenoid valve charges a pressurized gas into the control chamber, pushing the piston stem toward the first end and into an open position.
Abstract: A vehicle galley heat management system, including a water vessel; at least one galley chiller unit; and a heat transfer system. The heat transfer system being configured to transfer heat from the or each galley chiller unit to the water vessel. The vehicle galley heat management system enables the waste heat from the galley chiller unit(s) to be transferred and used rather than wasted.
Abstract: An assistance system for generating driving routes for one or more driver-controlled or autonomous agricultural work machines. The assistance system includes a computer configured to create a driving route for an agricultural work machine configured to work an agricultural area on the basis of a saved strategy, which may take into account features of areas adjacent to the agricultural area which are not to be worked.

Abstract: An air gasper knob system for an overhead Passenger Service Unit (PSU) includes an annular gasper knob of a UV transparent material. The annular gasper knob defines an air passage therethrough, and extends about the air passage from a first annular end face to a second annular end face. The system also includes a UV illuminator mounted to the gasper knob, oriented to transmit UV illumination through the UV transparent material to sanitize exterior surfaces of the gasper knob. A method of sanitizing an air gasper knob comprises illuminating a gasper knob in an overhead PSU using UV illumination to destroy infectious agents on surfaces of the gasper knob.
