Abstract: The present invention describes the design and fabrication of Multi-Material-Blades used as active regenerative regenerators in active regenerative magneto-caloric or electro-caloric engines. The blades consist of a plurality of elements (2) that divide the blade body along its length. Each element (2) is made of a different magneto-caloric or electro-caloric material selected appropriately, and a plurality of dedicated channels (3) penetrates the blade body (1) and extends along the length of the blade. The dedicated channels (3) can be provided with fluid mixing structures, porous layers or hydrophobic coatings to reduce the HE loss in an active regenerative engine. The Multi-Material-Blades are obtainable by ink jet printing techniques to reduce costs. The Multi-Material-Blades can further have a curved shape to form an involute blade body (1). All measures can improve the performance of active regenerative magneto-caloric or electro-caloric engines, and lay the basis for commercial solutions.

Abstract: Dividing a set of leaf objects having the same path of a directory namespace allows the divided path data sets to be distributed over separate physical stores (e.g., directory servers, network storage, separate memory, etc.). Distribution of divided path data sets over separate physical stores enhances scalability of a directory namespace and facilitates efficient utilization of resources. A directory distributor maintains information that indicates distribution of data path sets of a directory namespace and directs requests for the directory namespace to appropriate stores in accordance with this information.

Abstract: The invention relates to blinds, components of blinds and assembly of blinds, and particularly to the tilt mechanism of a Venetian blind. The tilt mechanism includes a slider element to which the cords of the cord ladder are attached. The slider element has a base portion fixedly mounted in an aperture of the head rail, and a sliding portion. The ladder cords are routed through holes in the base portion, through a void between the sliding portion and the base portion and out of the ends of the slider element. The ends of the ladder cords are secured proximate respective ends of the sliding portion. The void is divided into separate chambers and the holes of the base portion communicate each with a respective chamber. A further hole and chamber may be provided to accommodate a lift cord. Tangling of the cords is eliminated, and the compact arrangement allows a slim and attractive head rail to be used.
