  • Publication number: 20220018579
    Abstract: A portable thermoelectric unit has a face towards the user's body. The unit includes at least one flexible layer containing a non-woven fabric or a fabric and/or a polymeric membrane facing the body; a casing having a thermally active area and fixed to a distal face of the layer opposite the face so that the area is in thermal exchange with the layer towards the body; a thermoelectric heat pump device housed in the casing and configured to generate or absorb heat through the area and the layer; a fan housed in the casing and next to the device; a channel in the casing next to the device to receive an air flow generated by the fan in heat exchange with the device and to guide the air flow towards a distal opening from the fan; and a heat exchanger connected to the device on the opposite side of the area to receive the air flow towards the channel.

  • Publication number: 20210220915
    Abstract: Method for implementing a measurement system embedded in a device (D) obtained by powder micro-melting, comprising the steps of: —manufacturing (100), by using a micro-melting technique, a covering element (30), —manufacturing (200), by using a micro-melting technique, a base portion (10) of the device (D) comprising a work chamber that comprises a sensor seat (15), interrupting (300) the micro-melting process once the top of the sidewalls of the base portion (10) of the device (D) has been reached, opening said work chamber formed by the sensor seat (15), and exposing the semifinished device (D) to the atmosphere, —removing (400) the unmelted metal powder that is present within the sensor seat (15), —positioning (500) the sensor (20) within the sensor seat (15), —positioning (600) said covering element (30), previously manufactured during the first step (100), over the sensor seat (15) containing the sensor (20), and restoring the inertization of the work chamber and the controlled internal atmosphere, and—r

  • Patent number: 10234279
    Abstract: A mobile unit (5) is described for measuring running paths for handling systems, in particular bridge cranes, sliding on a route (2), comprising at least one first measuring device (62) which constitutes a space reference of the mobile unit (5) with respect to at least one fixed measuring unit (3) comprising second measuring device (61), the first measuring device (62) being connected to the mobile unit (5) by interposing at least one handling device adapted to synchronize measuring operations between the first measuring device (62) and the second measuring device (61) of the fixed measuring unit (3). A system for measuring (1) running paths for handling systems through such mobile unit (5) and a process for measuring through such system (1) are further described.
