  • Publication number: 20200275532
    Abstract: The present disclosure may relate to a paver accompanying device that may include a plate with a top face and a bottom face and shaped and configured to accompany a paver proximate the top face of the plate. The paver accompanying device may also include multiple grooves in the top face of the plate that run from a first end of the plate to a second end of the plate. The grooves may also be open at the first end of the plate and at the second end of the plate. Additionally, the grooves may be sized to hold a heat producing cable within the grooves such that the heat producing cable is disposed even with or below the top face of the plate.

  • Publication number: 20180002037
    Abstract: An integrated mobile ground support system 10 includes a wheeled cart 12 on which is mounted a power plant 14 to power an air compressor 16 to provide bleed air to an aircraft. The power plant 14 also powers an electrical generator 22, the output of which is controlled and converted to AC and/or DC power to meet the power requirements of the aircraft. An air conditioning unit 20 is also mounted on the cart 12 for providing conditioned air to the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 5431021
    Abstract: A heating and cooling apparatus having a first gas conduit, a second gas conduit and at least one thermoelectric module. In a first embodiment, structure is provided to introduce moisture into the second gas conduit, upstream of that conduit's association with the thermoelectric module. The introduction of the moisture into the gas within the second gas conduit functions to decrease the temperature between the temperature of the gas in the first conduit and the temperature of the gas in the second conduit, thereby optimizing the operation of the thermoelectric module. In a second embodiment a plurality of thermoelectric modules are arranged in an array and positioned between the gas conduits and associated therewith. The power supplied to each of the thermoelectric modules is adjusted to correspond to an optimum power input calculated for each thermoelectric module respectively.
