  • Patent number: 10112139
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for monitoring reduced fluid flow through a filter. A filter, more particularly a fluid flow filter or an air filter when contaminated can suffer from a reduced fluid flow, which will often deform to match the fluid flow or more particularly in the case of an air filter—the air flow.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160123206
    Abstract: A system for reclamation of waste heat from a heat load is disclosed and described. The system comprises a heat exchanger coupled to a heat load for capturing waste heat from the heat load; and a heat sink coupled to the heat exchanger to disperse the waste heat. The system further comprises a device coupled to the heat sink for utilizing energy from the waste heat dispersed by the heat sink. A method for reclamation of waste heat from a heat load and utilization of the waste heat are also disclosed and described.
