  • Patent number: 7251951
    Abstract: A flow diverter comprises a heat sink array in fluid communication with a turbine outlet and an inlet face of a heat exchanger, the heat sink array comprising a plurality of heat sink elements, the heat sink array being separated from the inlet face by a distance, and the heat sink array being positioned between the turbine outlet and the inlet face such that at least a portion of a fluid flowing from the turbine outlet contacts the heat sink array before the portion of the fluid contacts the heat exchanger inlet face.

  • Patent number: 4468419
    Abstract: A distinctive pattern of contrasting stripes is formed on a dinnerware plate by successively dipping opposite ends of the plate in glaze solutions. Initially a thin strip of glaze solution is deposited on the plate by means of a template. Thereafter, the opposite ends of the plate are dipped into one or more glaze solutions, to form two glaze areas with an intermediate strip. After the glaze solution has dried to a moderate extent, the opposite ends of the plate are again dipped in a different glaze solution, with the two second glazed areas being spaced from one another to leave a second intermediate strip spaced from the first intermediate strip. The plate is then subjected to a firing to permanently bond the glaze material to the plate. The result is a plate having contrasting stripes, some of which are formed by a single coating of the glaze solution, and some of which are made by a combination of two different glaze solutions.
