Abstract: An evaporator assembly, including an evaporator housing having a drain channel, and a joint duct connected to the evaporator housing to receive air from a blower, and to direct the air to the evaporator housing. The joint duct further includes an extension piece and an extension part shelf. The extension part shelf extends from the extension piece into the evaporator housing, and blocks the drain channel from the air flowing from the joint duct and into the evaporator housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a block copolymer comprising at least one PA block and at least one PB block. The PA block represents a polymer block comprising one or more units of monomer A, and the PB block represents a polymer block comprising one or more units of monomer B. Monomer A is a vinyl, acrylic, diolefin, nitrile, dinitrile, or acrylonitrile monomer. Monomer B is a radically polymerizable plant oil monomer containing one or more triglycerides. The present invention also relates to a method of preparing a thermoplastic block copolymer by radical polymerizing a radically polymerizable monomer with a radically polymerizable plant oil monomer containing one or more triglycerides, in the presence of an initiator and a transition-metal catalyst system to form the thermoplastic block copolymer. The polymerized plant oil-based block copolymers are useful in a variety of applications, such as asphalt modifiers, rubber compositions, adhesives, tires, in the automobile industry, footwear, packaging, etc.

Abstract: An insert is configured to be inserted into a heat exchanger having a plurality of tubes. The insert includes a base and a multiple blades. The blades are extended from the base. At least one of the blades has a spring portion. The spring portion is resiliently deformable and configured to be resiliently inserted between two of the tubes. The spring portion includes two arms. One of the two arms has one thin portion defining one recess dented in one direction in a thickness direction. The other of the two arms has the other thin portion defining the other recess dented in the other direction in the thickness direction. The one thin portion and the other thin portion are resiliently movable in a width direction within a clearance formed by the recesses, while overlapping one another in the thickness direction.

Abstract: An HVAC airflow door assembly including a pivot hub, a main body, and a flexible member. The pivot hub is connectable with a pivot member for pivoting the door assembly. The main body extends from the pivot hub and includes a distal end opposite to and spaced apart from the pivot hub. The flexible member is mounted to, and extends from, the distal end of the main body, and is configured for connection with a guide track. The door assembly is configured for rotation by the pivot member between a first position in which the flexible member is collapsed, and a second position in which the flexible member is extended relative to the first position.
