  • Patent number: 10760001
    Abstract: A straight fin for a device for recovering the waste heat of raw coke oven gas in the ascension pipe of the coke oven includes the straight fin body and a group of V-shaped notches disposed on the straight fin body. The depth h of the V-shaped notches is less than the width H of the straight fin body. The distances between the adjacent V-shaped notches increase from bottom to top in the longitudinal direction of the straight fin body. The present invention further provides a heat recovering device and a power generation device both including the straight fins. Moreover, the width, the angle, and the distances in the longitudinal direction of the V-shaped notches at the top of the straight fin are determined according to the temperature field distribution during use of the device.

  • Patent number: 9390741
    Abstract: A head transducer, configured to interact with a magnetic recording medium, includes a first sensor having a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and configured to produce a first sensor signal, and a second sensor having a TCR and configured to produce a second sensor signal. One of the first and second sensors is situated at or near a close point of the head transducer in relation to the magnetic recording medium, and the other of the first and second sensors spaced away from the close point. Circuitry is configured to combine the first and second sensor signals and produce a combined sensor signal indicative of one or both of a change in head-medium spacing and head-medium contact. Each of the sensors may have a TCR with the same sign (positive or negative) or each sensor may have a TCR with a different sign.

  • Patent number: 9082440
    Abstract: A bias signal is applied to a resistive thermal sensor located proximate a magnetic media reading surface of a magnetic sensor. The bias signal is modulated between first and second bias levels. First and second resistances of the resistive thermal sensor corresponding to the first and second bias levels are measured. Based a difference between the first and second resistances caused by in increase in thermal conductivity between the magnetic sensor and a medium as the magnetic head gets closer to the medium, at least one of a spacing and a contact between the magnetic sensor and the medium are determined.

  • Patent number: 8937853
    Abstract: Changes in the thermal boundary condition near a close point of an ABS to a media indicate proximity of the ABS with the media. Before contact, heat conduction from the ABS is primarily through convective and/or ballistic heat transfer to air between the ABS and the media. After contact, heat flux primarily flows from the ABS to the media through solid-solid conductive contact. Further, a light source within a HAMR transducer head may create additional thermal variations within the transducer head. These thermal variations create temperature variations within the transducer head. Two resistance temperature sensors on the transducer head at varying distances from the close point and/or light source measure these temperature variations. A temperature difference between the two resistance temperature sensors indicates proximity of the close point to the media and/or light output.
