  • Publication number: 20050247439
    Abstract: A heat exchanger including a pair of header pipes and a plurality of heat transfer tubes extending between and placing the header pipes in communication and extending in parallel to each other to form a parallel-flow type heat exchanger core. The heat exchanger core is bent, so that relative to a center portion of the core, at least one header pipe is offset in the direction of air flow across the heat exchanger. The offset disposition of a larger header pipe may be achieved without increasing a tube insertion length into the header pipe or the reduction or elimination of liquid storing and moisture reducing unit contained in the header pipe. Consequently, heat exchangers achieving enhanced performance may be realized at a lower cost than known heat exchangers. Moreover, methods of producing such heat exchangers may achieve higher productivity.

  • Patent number: 6628318
    Abstract: A method for driving an optical write device, in which a time for formation of a pixel is divided into a plurality of periods, and tone level control based on multi-tone image, data is performed in each of the periods. For example, the time for formation of a pixel is divided by applying a train of pulses with widths weighted in the ratio of 4:2.1, and in each duration of the pulses, a clock signal for 64 tone levels is given.

  • Patent number: 6470703
    Abstract: A subcooling-type condenser includes a refrigerant condensation core and a subcooling core for supercooling refrigerant condensed by the refrigerant condensation core. A header portion corresponding to an entrance portion of the subcooling core is formed as a liquid refrigerant storage portion, and a capacity of the header Vh is set within a range of 100 cc≦Vh≦250 cc. Thus, subcooling-type condenser having a desired re-liquefaction function without using a separately formed liquid tank may be achieved, thereby reducing the condenser's size and cost.
