  • Publication number: 20240230227
    Abstract: An electric dryer designed for drying a bladder or food storage bag, featuring an electric fan enclosed within a housing, and an insert with a nozzle for directing air into the internal volume of the bag. The insert is dimensioned to be inserted into the bag's opening, separating the front and back panels and preventing the bag from folding along its longitudinal axis. The fan is capable of moving between five and fifteen cubic feet of air per minute. The insert may include a projection to prevent the bag from being blown off and is shaped to project at least an inch into the bag. The dryer may also include a base with at least one projection extending at an angle to the axis of the insert. The power line can be configured to couple to a wall outlet or a battery. The dryer may also come as part of a kit, including a tubular member and a flexible elongated tether for connecting the tubular member to the electric dryer.

  • Publication number: 20060011334
    Abstract: An isosceles triangular cross section shaped microchannel-cooling device conducts a working fluid for the removal of heat from a heat source. The triangular shaped microchannel provides an increased thermal transport coefficient for improved heat transport with an improved mass flow rate. The microchannel-cooling device is well suited for removing heat from electronics, semiconductor components, and systems.
