Abstract: The present invention discloses a micro-channel heat exchanger comprising manifolds, a plurality of micro-channel flat tubes connected to the manifolds, and a plurality of rows of fins spaced apart by the micro-channel flat tubes. The micro-channel heat exchanger is provided with at least one bend designed to avoid the deformation of the fins on two inner sides adjacent to the bend due to crushing and meanwhile maintaining the ventilation and heat exchange functionalities of the bend. For example, the bend may include at least one row of fins where the width of the fins are less than the width of the fins on two sides adjacent to the bend. Alternatively, the gap between the fins in the bend can be greater than the gap between the fins on two sides adjacent to the bend. Still alternatively, the bend can be formed with a space for separating cores of the heat exchanger.

Abstract: An approach to proving a flexible grid architecture for time and wavelength division multiplexed passive optical networks is described. One embodiment includes an optical transmitter array configured to transmit an optical signal, an optical combiner coupled to the optical transmitter array configured to receive unlocked wavelengths from the optical transmitter array and output a single optical signal, and an optical amplifier coupled to the optical combiner configured to boost downstream optical power. In some embodiments, a WDM filter is coupled to the optical amplifier, and a tunable optical network units (ONUs) coupled to the WDM filter configured to transmit and receive the optical signals. In still other embodiments, a cyclic demultiplexer is coupled to the optical splitter and connects to an optical receiver array configured to receive optical signals.

Abstract: A heat exchanger is disclosed, which comprises an inlet header defining a refrigerant chamber therein; an outlet header spaced apart from the inlet header; a plurality of tubes, two ends of each tube being connected to and communicating with the inlet and outlet headers respectively; a plurality of fins, each of which is interposed between adjacent tubes; and a distribution tube disposed outside the refrigerant chamber and formed with a distribution opening, through which the distribution tube communicates with the refrigerant chamber. According to the present invention, the distribution tube is easy to assemble, disassemble and maintain. The refrigerants in the inlet header and the distribution tube do not disadvantageously affect each other, thus enhancing distribution of refrigerant.

Abstract: A camera system with function of automatically coordinating flash intensity includes a lens, an image sensor, a focus system, a focus sensor and a control unit. The lens is capable of controlling light amount that entrance into camera. The focusing system is capable of driving the lens to focus thereby forming a clear image on the image sensor. The focus sensor is capable of sensing first step information of the focusing system during the focusing process, and sending the information to a control unit. The control unit is capable of transforming the result of the focusing system to a distance that the object apart from the camera, and configures out the guide number with the aperture number thereby calculating the flash intensity. The present camera systems without neither a professional measurement tool nor an additional pre-flash may measure the distance that the objects apart from the camera, and low down the cost and power consumption.
