A heat sink (10) includes a circular base (20), a plurality of fins (30), and a central post (40). The base is adapted to be in thermal contact with an electronic device, to remove heat therefrom. The post extends from a top surface (26) of the base. The post has a first surface connected to the top surface and a second surface (44) dimensioned according to a heat sink fan to be attached thereon. The post also has a concave side surface (42) between the second surface of the post and the top surface of the base, for directing airflow. The fins are identical in height to the post. The fins are curved, aligned and spaced from each other at uniform intervals corresponding to directions of airflow generated from the fan. These minimize resistance to cooling air entering or exiting the heat sink.

A mixing reactor for mixing efficiently streams of fluids of differing densities. In a preferred embodiment, one of the fluids is supercritical water, and the other is an aqueous salt solution. Thus, the reactor enables the production of metal oxide nanoparticles as a continuous process, without any risk of the reactor blocking due to the inefficient mixing inherent in existing reactor designs.

A long-length industry camera image sensor (LICIS) is proposed for, expressed in X-Y-Z coordinates, converting a pixel line image (PLI) of length LPL along X-direction into a line image signal (LIS). The LICIS includes a full-width linear image sensor (FLIS) of length LIS along X-direction and displaced from the PLI along Z-direction by an imaging distance DIMG for converting an incident line image (ILI) impinging upon its FLIS top surface into the LIS. Where LIS is about equal to LPL. The LICIS also has a full-width linear rod lens (FLRL) of length LRL along X-direction and displaced from the PLI in Z-direction by a working distance DWKG. Where LRL is about equal to LPL and DWKG is selected such that the PLI gets focused by the FLRL into the ILI at the FLIS top surface with an imaging magnification factor of about 1:1.

A system for cold gas dynamic spraying of particulate material has a de Laval nozzle and two or more radial particle inlets located between the throat and the outlet of the nozzle, the two or more particle inlets arranged symmetrically around a linear flow path of the nozzle. Blocking of the inlets is reduced by controlling pressure of particle carrier gas to provide a stable particulate material injection pressure before and during introduction of working gas into the nozzle, and / or by clearing the particle inlets of residual particles after a spraying process. Such a system and associated method combines benefits of both downstream and upstream cold gas spray systems. Further, a nozzle for spraying particulate material having a cross-sectional shape that is narrower in a middle section compared to edge sections provides coatings with superior cross-sectional profiles.

An adjustable, composite polarizer can include first and second plate polarizers and an adjusting apparatus. The adjusting apparatus can adjust a pitch angle and a roll angle for the first and second plate polarizers while maintaining a predetermined, minimal distance between those plates. In this configuration, the adjustable, composite polarizer can provide mirror symmetric polarization with respect to an incident plane while providing the flexibility of any polarization.

An offset window mount fan includes two or more independently controlled fans controllable to move air in the same direction or in opposite directions. A housing substantially offsets the fans from a direct passage of air into the room. In one embodiment, the fans are mounted in a housing perpendicular to the window, air traveling through the fans turning 90 degrees to pass through the plane of the window and 90 degrees down into the room. Each fan includes a temperature sensor to measure temperature of air moving through each fan. The fans are energized periodically for a short time period to make accurate temperature measurements. When the combined temperature measurements indicate an advantage from fan operation, the fans are activated.
