Filed:

Jan 28, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/494215

Inventors:

James A. York - Concord CA 94519

International Classification:

B41F 1536

US Classification:

1011271, 1011281

Abstract:

A print screen frame assembly used in the textile screen print industry. The frame assembly is formed of electrical conduit comprised of a rigid metallic conduit material which is coated to resist solvents, dyes and other chemicals commonly used in the print screen industry. The frame member is comprised of bendable, durable conduit material formed into a desired shape and secured at a seam to form a unitary frame member. On the top side of the frame member, a taut fabric print screen is attached by an adhesive. At least one spacer with a flat bottom edge is placed on the bottom of the tubular frame member allowing print screens to be easily used in printing presses and to permit frames to be stacked on top of one another for storage purposes.

International Classification:

F28F 1906
F28F 902

US Classification:

165178

Abstract:

Replaceable inlet means for a fluid heat exchanger, particularly useful for a fluid containing an abrasive. A bulkhead is employed on the inlet side of the heat exchanger. A plurality of replaceable tubes are disposed within this bulkhead. The wear caused by the abrasive is confined to the replaceable tubes.

Assignee:

Hobart Laser Products, Inc. - Livermore CA

International Classification:

G02B 636

US Classification:

385 78

Abstract:

A system for coupling laser radiation at a high power to an optical fiber while dissipating heat from scattered laser and optical pump radiation, including an optical fiber, a protective ferrule surrounding a portion of the optical fiber extending from the input face of the optical fiber and welded to the fiber in the region of the input face and otherwise separated from the fiber by an air space, and a holder surrounding the ferrule to absorb scattered radiation and dissipate heat.

Assignee:

Hobart Laser Products, Inc. - Livermore CA

International Classification:

G02B 636

US Classification:

385 90

Abstract:

A laser-optical fiber tuning and control system which optimizes coupling of a laser output into an optical fiber by minimizing the amount of light scattered into the fiber cladding, which provides a realtime indication of whether the radiation reaches the output end of the fiber to an emergency shut-down switch, and which provides a communications system for control of the laser from the output end of the optical fiber.

Appl. No.:

5/746695

Inventors:

James A. York - Glendale CA

Assignee:

Smith Engineering Company - South El Monte CA

International Classification:

F28F 500

US Classification:

165 82

Abstract:

A heat exchanger which includes a plurality of elongated, parallel, vertical tubes for directing a hot fluid through a cross flowing fluid, particularly suited for handling larger quantities of fluid which contains abrasives. Each of the continuous tubes are secured at opposite ends to tube sheets. One tube sheet provides vertical support for the tubes, the other tube sheet is allowed to float. The tubes are thus unrestrained in the vertical direction and are permitted to freely expand in the presence of the hot fluid.
