  • Publication number: 20240426538
    Abstract: A method for cooling a product with a refrigeration system is provided. The method includes providing a product within a storage chamber defined by an opening wall surface, a floor surface, a rear wall surface and a ceiling wall surface. The ceiling wall is cooled with cooled air in contact with an opposing surface of an internal baffle. The ceiling wall surface is maintained at a temperature to provide convective heat absorption from the ceiling wall surface in the storage chamber. An enveloping airflow of the cooled air is induced downward along the opening wall surface by discharging the cooled air from the discharge chamber into a discharge area within the storage chamber adjacent the opening wall.

  • Patent number: 12050045
    Abstract: A refrigeration system including a storage chamber configured to store a product at a predetermined temperature. The storage chamber is defined by an inner wall. The inner wall at least partially defines an air plenum. The inner wall includes an opening wall surface, a floor surface, a rear wall surface and a ceiling wall surface. The system also includes a refrigerant circuit including a compressor, a condenser, a condenser fan, an evaporator and an evaporator fan arranged and disposed in an operable configuration to provide refrigeration to the storage chamber. The air plenum includes a conduit arranged and disposed to convey air from an air inlet across the evaporator and into a discharge chamber and out an air outlet. The air outlet is configured to discharge cooled air in a direction toward the opening wall surface.

  • Patent number: 11154350
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to catheter devices, including irrigated and non-irrigated ablation catheters. More specifically, this disclosure relates to irrigated ablation catheters including an irrigation lumen having at least one electronic device at least partially disposed therein. In many embodiments, the irrigation lumen further includes at least one sideport. In some embodiments, the electronic device has a distal end extending out of the irrigation lumen and into an electrode tip assembly. In some embodiments, a proximal end of the electronic device extends through the sideport in the irrigation lumen.

  • Patent number: 11122812
    Abstract: A shrimp processing machine includes a frame assembly, a drive assembly coupled therewith, a bracket member, and an adjustable cutting assembly. The adjustable cutting assembly is movable between a raised position and a lowered position and includes a cutting device and an adjustable cam plate operably coupled with the cutting device. The adjustable cam plate has a cam body, an adjustment mechanism, and an engagement region having first, second, and third engagement surfaces. The adjustable cutting assembly is adjustable between a first configuration whereby the cutting device has a slow drop-in rate and a second configuration whereby the cutting device has a fast drop-in rate.
