  • Publication number: 20220196340
    Abstract: A heat-transfer member (1) is used in a cooling system in which an alcohol serves as a coolant. The heat-transfer member (1) has: a heat-receiving surface (11) configured such that it can receive heat from a heat-generating body; and a heat-dissipating surface (12) configured such that it can dissipate, to the coolant, the heat received at the heat-receiving surface (11). The heat-dissipating surface (12) has a plurality of pores (121) whose average pore diameter is 5 nm or more and 1,000 nm or less. A cooling system can be configured by causing the coolant to contact the heat-dissipating surface (12) of the heat-transfer member (1).

  • Publication number: 20130242628
    Abstract: A solar power conditioner includes: a synchronous controller; and electric power converters connected in series with each other and arranged at panel groups, respectively. Each electric power converter executes a MPPT control for tracking a maximum power point of an output electric power of the panel group, and converts a voltage and a current of the output electric power of the panel group. The synchronous controller synchronously controls the electric power converters to superimpose converted voltages in series, the converted voltages outputting from the electric power converters, so that the electric power converters output a predetermined pseudo sine wave voltage or a predetermined alternating current voltage.

  • Patent number: 6434006
    Abstract: A semiconductor device has a case, a printed circuit board, a fin, and a ceramic substrate mounting a semiconductor element thereon. The case contains the printed circuit board, the ceramic substrate and the fin. The fin and the case radiate heat transmitted from the ceramic substrate. The fin has protrusions on a contact face facing a contact face of the case. The fin contacts the case though the protrusions when the fin is fixed to the case. The protrusions serve as heat radiating path.

  • Patent number: 4296355
    Abstract: A magnetron comprises an anode with an anode axis and an antenna terminal disposed along an antenna axis. The antenna axis is offset from and parallel to the anode axis. A cooling element surrounds the anode for cooling the anode. The outermost periphery of the cooling element which forms the overall shape of the magnetron has a longitudinal center axis disposed coaxially along the antenna axis to permit the adaptability of the magnetron to substantially all types of oven waveguides.
