A method of optimizing lifetime of an OLED display element and an OLED display element with optimized lifetime for possible use in a tiled display, while maintaining light output are described. It compensates an OLED operating parameter such as supply voltage and / or on-time of the operating current based on at least one environmental factor which affects aging and on at least one operating factor which is indicative of aging, e.g. by determining the brightness of an OLED display element. To optimize the light output, pre-charge of the aged OLED display elements can be optimized. The knowledge of the working temperature of OLED tiles may be used to regulate the cooling and thus the working temperature, thus improving the lifetime of the display. Furthermore the intensity and contrast of the display illumination may be set within predefined limits to reduce the aging.

A radio-frequency thermal balloon catheter includes a catheter tube including an outer tube and an inner tube, a balloon connected to an end part of the outer tube and an end part of the inner tube, and capable of coming into contact with a target diseased part when inflated, a radio-frequency electrode placed in the wall of the balloon or inside the balloon to transmit radio-frequency current, a lead wire electrically connected to the radio-frequency electrode, a temperature sensor capable of measuring temperature inside the balloon, and a swirling current producing means for making a fluid contained in the balloon swirl in a vertical plane in the balloon so as to reduce an upper-lower temperature difference between an upper part and a lower part of the interior of the balloon due to convection of the fluid to naught.

A gas supply apparatus including: a tank unit that includes a tank storing a gas and a discharge mechanism discharging the stored gas to the outside of the tank at a reduced pressure of the stored gas; a temperature detector that detects a temperature of the tank; and a supply regulator that regulates supply of the gas from the tank according to the detected tank temperature.

A battery system includes: a battery block defining a cooling gap between battery cells composed of a plurality of rectangular / prismatic cells; and a gas blower forcibly blowing the gas through the gap in the block. The block, set in two separate arrays, is provided therebetween with an intermediate duct connected to each of the gaps. An outer duct is provided outside the block set in two separate arrays, and the plurality of gaps are parallel-connected between the outer duct and the intermediate duct. The gas blower forcibly blows the gas from the intermediate duct to the outer duct, and the gas forcibly blown is branched from the intermediate duct to be blown through each of the gaps to cool the cells. The gas having passed through the gaps and cooled the cells is collected at and exhausted from the outer duct.

A radio-frequency thermal balloon catheter is capable of reducing an upper-lower temperature difference in a balloon due to convection to naught and of uniformly heating tissues in contact with the balloon at an optimum temperature to achieve the safe thermal treatment of a lesion. The radio-frequency thermal balloon catheter includes a catheter tube (3) including an outer tube (1) and an inner tube (2), a balloon (4) connected to an end part of the outer tube and an end part of the inner tube, and capable of coming into contact with a target diseased part (41) when inflated, a radio-frequency electrode (6) placed in the wall of the balloon or inside the balloon to transmit radio-frequency current, a lead wire (7) electrically connected to the radio-frequency electrode, a temperature sensor (8) capable of measuring temperature inside the balloon, and a swirling current producing means (12, 16, 20) for making a fluid contained in the balloon swirl in a vertical plane in the balloon so as to reduce an upper-lower temperature difference between an upper part and a lower part of the interior of the balloon due to convection of the fluid to naught.

A method for cooling a battery is disclosed, in which a power supply unit includes a plurality of batteries disposed up and down (in a multi-tier manner) within a case, a fan for cooling the batteries by forcibly blowing cooling air from top to bottom within the case, a temperature sensor for detecting temperatures of the batteries, and a control circuit for controlling operation of the fan by means of a signal fed out of the temperature sensor. In the battery cooling method, when a battery temperature difference between the upper battery and the lower battery reaches above a set value as detected by the temperature sensor while the fan is in operation, the control circuit stops operation of the fan to cool the batteries through natural heat radiation.

A sputter target assembly particularly useful for a large panel plasma sputter reactor having a target assembly sealed both to the main processing chamber and a vacuum pumped chamber housing a moving magnetron. The target assembly to which target tiles are bonded includes an integral plate with parallel cooling holes drilled parallel to the principal faces. The ends of the holes may be sealed and vertically extending slots arranged in two staggered groups on each side and machined down to respective pairs of cooling holes on opposite sides of the backing plate in pairs. Four manifolds tubes are sealed to the four groups of slots and provide counter-flowing coolant paths.

A heat spreader for an emissive display device, such as a plasma display panel or a light emitting diode, comprising at least one sheet of compressed particles of exfoliated graphite having a surface area greater than the surface area of that part of a discharge cell facing the back surface of the device.

Disclosed herein is a cooling system for a battery pack that is usable as a power source of electric vehicles and hybrid-electric vehicles. The cooling system has the effect of effectively dissipating heat generated from battery cells by supplying a refrigerant to the battery cells at a constant flow rate, and of minimizing a temperature difference between the battery cells during a cooling process. This prevents degradation in the performance of the battery cells, and achieves optimal temperature control. Also, the cooling system employs a single refrigerant guide member arranged at a side of the battery pack, resulting in a reduction in the size of an overall battery system.
