  • Publication number: 20220316826
    Abstract: A water redistribution system for adiabatically pre-cooled dry coolers having stacked adiabatic panels, the water redistribution system located between upper and lower adiabatic panels and having a plurality of alternating baffles arranged to reduce water free-fall height and resultant splashing. Upwardly turned flanges at the top of each baffle inhibit the travel of water out of the interior water channel.

  • Patent number: 7164437
    Abstract: The image scanning system (52) of the present invention scans slides and film strips containing photographic images and creates a corresponding plurality of digital representations of the photographic images. The system (52) includes a touch screen monitor (96), a computer (54), a scanner (62), a high speed interface (112) and a printer (98). The scanner (62) includes a light source (172) for projecting light through the film strip. A light sensor (124) senses the light projected through the film strip and generates pixel data. A film drive advances the film strip between the light source (172) and the light sensor (124). A lens located between the light source and the light sensor directs the light projected through the film strip onto the light sensor (124). The pixel data is transmitted through the high speed interface (112) to the computer (54) for processing operations. After the pixel data has been processed, digital images are displayed on the monitor (96) and may also be printed out.
