  • Patent number: 8347950
    Abstract: A modular heat exchange system for use in a central heat exchange installation in buildings, including at least one heat exchange element equipped for exchanging heat between environmental air and a fluid which is conducted through the heat exchange element. The heat exchange element has a predetermined first shape with opposite lateral sides. At least one non-heat-exchange add-on element, equipped for adding a given additional functionality to the system, has a predetermined second shape with a complementary lateral side to one of the opposite lateral sides of the heat exchange element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7089996
    Abstract: A radiator is disclosed for mounting in an upright position to a wall, comprising a front panel and a back panel between which an interior space is provided for introducing a fluid. The back panel is made of a heat-conductive material and is provided with fluid supply and drainage fittings for supplying and draining the fluid to and from said interior space. The back panel is further provided with cooling ribs for exchanging heat with surrounding air and mounting brackets for mounting the radiator on a wall. The front panel has pre-formed canals for directing the fluid flow in a controlled way from the supply fitting to the drainage fitting. The front panel is made of a synthetic material which is substantially non-heat-conductive. A seal is provided between the panels for making said interior space substantially fluid-tight. The front and back panels are assembled with the seal in between by means of bolts.

  • Patent number: 4845010
    Abstract: A method for the production of a photographic image by silver complex diffusion transfer processing wherein a negative working silver halide emulsion material having particularly high exposure latitude and being manipulatable under room light conditions without prohibitive fogging is used, said material having a low intensity reciprocity failure (L.I.R.F). The material is contact-exposed with visible light through a sheet support carrying paper paste-up material with its information facing the silver halide emulsion layer of the photographic material, and the resulting latent image is developed in the presence of a silver halide complexing agent and the thus developed silver halide emulsion material is contacted with an image-receiving material to form according to a preferred embodiment a planographic printing plate.

  • Patent number: 4202697
    Abstract: A radiation-sensitive material is described that comprises a hydrophilic colloid layer containing a dispersed phase of at least one radiation sensitive polymer the polymer chain of which comprises units with side substituents containing oxime ester groups. Upon imagewise exposure to actinic radiation the polymer in the exposed areas reduces the permeability of the hydrophilic colloid layer for an etchant in the absence of any ethylenically unsaturated monomer. The layer having upon image-wise exposure to radiation image-wise differentiations in permeability for an etchant can be used as etch-resist, without needing a washing away step, to modify image-wise the surface of an element e.g. to produce printed circuits or printing forms.
