  • Patent number: 7431240
    Abstract: This invention overcome the disadvantage of the prior systems and produces a high velocity specially formed and constituted pressure aerodynamic stream for efficiently and effectively removing ice from an aircraft. The specially formed stream includes a stream within a stream, wherein a deicing fluid such a glycol is entrained within and encased by a surrounding jacket of entraining fluid such air. This deicing is now known as coaxial stream/stream within a stream deicing. The special nozzle allows the stream to maintain fluid separation over its flight path so that aircraft contact is made by to be known as coaxial stream/stream within a stream deicing. The coaxial stream/stream within a stream deicing is further enhanced by pressurizing the stream to deliver the stream as a high pressure high velocity stream to improved the aerodynamic sweeping action of the airstream.

  • Patent number: 7082780
    Abstract: A room air conditioner has a front side portion and a rear side portion for location at an area to receive unwanted heat. The room air conditioner includes an evaporator coil at the front side portion of the air conditioner, and having a left-right centerline extending parallel to a front to rear direction. A condenser coil is at the rear side portion of the air conditioner, and has a left-right centerline extending parallel to the front to rear direction. An air-moving device is located between the evaporator coil and the condenser coil, and has a left-right centerline extending parallel to the front to rear direction. A chassis supports the evaporator coil, the condenser coil, and the air-moving device, and has a left-right centerline extending parallel to the front to rear direction.

  • Patent number: 6360992
    Abstract: A hybrid deicing system for deicing ice or snow covered surfaces comprises a source of pressurized air and a source of pressurized deicing fluid. A nozzle assembly receives the pressurized air and the pressurized deicing fluid at a forward position, a middle position or a rearward position of the nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly discharges the pressurized deicing fluid and pressurized air as a first independent stream within a second independent stream.

  • Patent number: 5738492
    Abstract: An air-conditioning unit including a centrifugal blower for centrifugally blowing air having a generally horizontal axis a rotation and a scroll having an elongated discharge plenum above the blower and an air guide about the blower for directing air exiting the blower to the discharge plenum through a discharge port having first and second ends. The air guide has a radius from the rotational axis of the fan which increases from a cutoff point near the first end of the discharge port to the second end of the discharge port. The scroll also has a curved air foil located above the blower and to a side of the blower toward the second end of the discharge port. The air foil has a leading edge near the blower and a trailing edge in the discharge plenum effective to divert a portion of air exiting the blower toward the second end of the discharge port to equally distribute air across the discharge plenum.

  • Patent number: 4736689
    Abstract: A housing adapted to be mounted beneath the top of a table and a shelf sized to fit substantially within the housing are operatively connected by a pair of telescoping rails which guide movement of the shelf between a retracted position in which the shelf is substantially within the housing and an extended position in which the shelf has a substantial portion thereof outside the housing. The rails pivot about an axis to change the height of the shelf with respect to the top of the table and the entire assembly includes a mechanism for securing the shelf in the extended position. The housing includes a vertically stepped slot in which a pin secured to the rails is movable to hold the shelf at predetermined heights with respect to the top of the table corresponding to the steps of the vertically stepped slot.
