Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a body, a plurality of first flow channels defined in the body; and a plurality of second flow channels defined in the body. The second flow channels are fluidly isolated from the first flow channels. The first flow channels and second flow channels are arranged in a checkerboard pattern.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a body and a plurality of elliptical flow channels defined in the body, the elliptical flow channels defining an elliptical cross-sectional flow area, and a plurality of non-elliptical flow channels defined in the body and interspersed between the elliptical flow channels, the non-elliptical flow channels having a non-elliptical cross-sectional flow area.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a first additively manufactured layer including axial fins extending in a first direction and transverse fins extending in a second direction transverse to the first direction, the first layer defining a flow path in the first direction. The heat exchanger also includes a second additively manufactured layer including axial fins extending in the second and transverse fins extending in the first direction, the second layer defining a second flow path in the second direction.

Abstract: A fire resistant wood veneer structure may include a base layer of a non-decorative wood veneer and a layer of non-metallic highly thermal conductivity material adhesively bonded to the non-decorative wood veneer. The finished veneer structure includes a layer of decorative wood veneer adhesively bonded to the non-metallic wood veneer layer.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to obtaining a specification comprising at least one requirement associated with a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, and based on the specification, configuring a control system to control a movement of fluid back and forth across at least one regenerator device of the HVAC system and a mixing of the fluid with ambient air.

Abstract: An electrical machine is provided including a stator assembly having a stator core and a plurality of windings. A rotor assembly is arranged concentrically with the stator assembly and is configured to rotate about an axis. The rotor assembly includes a rotor core and a cage surrounding a periphery of the rotor core. The cage includes a plurality of impeller fins positioned adjacent at least one end of the rotor core.

Abstract: A system includes an electronic device, a heat spreader with a vapor chamber attached to a bottom end of the electronic device, so that heat flows from the electronic device to the heat spreader, and a heat sink with microchannels running through it attached to a bottom end of the heat spreader, so that heat from the heat spreader flows through the heat sink and to an ambient. A method for cooling a device includes transferring heat generated by a device through a conductivity layer, spreading the heat through a heat spreader, transferring the heat from the heat spreader to a heat sink that contains microchannels, and releasing the heat from the heat sink into an ambient.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cooling a heat source is disclosed. The apparatus includes a fin-diffuser including a blower integrated with fins of a diffuser. A heat spreader is coupled to the fin-diffuser. The heat spreader is configured to spread heat from a location proximate the blower to location of the fins. The apparatus spreads heat from a heat source proximate a blower of the fin-diffuser to a location away from the blower to cool the heat source.
