Abstract: A process and system for automated online fouling prevention of vertical shell and tube gas-to-gas heat exchangers is provided. The process and system of the invention utilize the flow velocity of the gas within the tubes to facilitate cleaning of the tubes by adding, when necessary, grit to the contaminated gas flow.

Abstract: A repeatable manufacturing process uses a printer to deposits liquid for each product carried by a substrate to form respective thin films. The liquid is dried, cured or otherwise processed to form from the liquid a permanent layer of each respective product. To perform printing, each newly-introduced substrate is roughly mechanically aligned, with an optical system detecting sub-millimeter misalignment, and with software correcting for misalignment. Rendering of adjusted data is performed such that nozzles are variously assigned dependent on misalignment to deposit droplets in a regulated manner, to ensure precise deposition of liquid for each given area of the substrate. For example, applied to the manufacture of flat panel displays, software ensures that exactly the right amount of liquid is deposited for each “pixel” of the display, to minimize likelihood of visible discrepancies in the resultant display.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for attaching a child car seat (14) to luggage (12) is provided, including at least one strap (16) extending from an upper region of the luggage for attachment to a top (20) or back (22) portion of the child car seat, or to a separate strap extending from the top or back region of the child car seat. At least one additional strap may also extend from a side, front or bottom portion of such rolling luggage to attach to a side, back or bottom portion of the child car seat. In such embodiment, the at least one additional strap facilitates additional stability of the child car seat as attached to the rolling luggage. Additionally, a flat fabric material or bag (34) may be provided at least partially over the back of the luggage and may be attached to one or more of the various straps.
