An object of the present invention is to provide a conveyer oven having a high heat efficiency and excellent cooking performance. Foods F are carried into a heating chamber 10 by a conveyer 60 and conveyed to the upper portion of the heating chamber. While the foods F are conveyed at the upper portion of the heating chamber, an eject nozzle 45 blows hot air to the foods F and simultaneously foods F are surrounded with remaining hot air. When cooking is finished, the foods F are conveyed downward to be carried out from the heating chamber 10. Therefore, heat from a heating means 20 is used effectively for cooking, that means heat efficiency is improved, which reduces fuel cost. Moreover, since the foods F are surrounded with remaining hot air, the foods F are evenly heated all over, whereby cooking performance is improved.

A vehicular lamp 1 including a lamp unit 2, in which a light-emitting diode 2a is used as the light source, and a cover member 4, which is provided between the lamp unit 2 and an outer lens 3 of the lamp and located near the inside surface of the outer lens 3 so as to cover the lamp unit 2 except its light-emitting region. The cover member 4 is formed of a material that has good heat conductivity, and heat generated by the light-emitting diode 2a is transferred to the cover member 4 and to the outer lens 3, thus heating the outer lens.

Embodiments for heating a vehicle cabin are disclosed. In one example, a method for heating a vehicle cabin comprises closing an exhaust throttle while diverting at least a portion of throttled exhaust gas through an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler coupled upstream of the throttle, and transferring heat from the EGR cooler to a heater core configured to provide heat to the vehicle cabin. In this way, exhaust heat may be directly routed to the cabin heating system.

For use on board a mobile means of transport (eg. aircraft, bus, ship), a heating system and method are described which lead to a reduction of peak demand in the on-board kitchen energy supply system relating to the integrated heating appliances for the warming or heating of food. For this, latent or thermochemical heat storage units are used which are fully integrated into the structural elements of the heating appliance in question and heats the product in such a way that there is sufficient heat output, while at the same time, the absolute temperature is limited by means of an appropriate choice of heat storage material for product enhancement.

Disclosed are substrates suited for dispensing air treatment chemicals upon being heated. Granular particles, preferably sand with a phenolic binder, are adhered together to form a substrate body having a network of pores. A volatile air treatment chemical is disposed in the pores. The particle size and pores are such that the smaller particles of the substrate are grouped at one end, preferably an end adjacent to a projecting nose. This structure tends to wick the volatile air treatment chemical towards the nose, and heating that area can lead to efficient, and rechargeable, dispensing. Methods for using such substrates, and methods for forming such substrates, are disclosed.

In a stacked-type semiconductor device, a first semiconductor device and at least one second semiconductor device are stacked. The first semiconductor device includes a wiring board and a first semiconductor chip mounted on the wiring board. The second semiconductor device includes a wiring board and a second semiconductor chip mounted on the wiring board. The thickness of the second semiconductor chip of each second semiconductor device is thicker than the thickness of the first semiconductor chip.

A high energy processed biomass / coal blended compact aggregate composition made with a blending sub-system from a processed organic-carbon-containing feedstock made with a beneficiation sub-system and high energy coal is described. Renewable biomass feedstock passed through a beneficiation sub-system to reduce water content to below at least 20 wt % and an intracellular water-soluble salt reduction of at least 60% from that of unprocessed organic-carbon-containing feedstock on a dry basis. The processed feedstock is blended with sized high energy coal in a blending sub-system to form a blended aggregate that comprises at least 10 wt % of a coal having an energy density of at least 21 MMBTU / ton (24 GJ / MT) and at least 10 wt % of a processed biomass comprising a processed organic-carbon-containing feedstock with characteristics that include an energy density of at least 17 MMBTU / ton (19 GJ / MT) and a water-soluble intracellular salt content that is decreased more than 60 wt % on a dry basis for the processed organic-carbon-containing feedstock from that of unprocessed organic-carbon-containing feedstock.

A cap film is formed over semiconductor films formed over an insulating substrate; the semiconductor films are irradiated with a laser beam which is capable of completely melting the semiconductor film in a film-thickness direction to completely melt the semiconductor film. By controlling the laser beam, a crystalline semiconductor films are formed over the substrate, in each of which orientations of crystal planes are controlled. In addition, an n-channel thin film transistor is formed using a crystalline region in which crystal planes are oriented along {001} and a p-channel thin film transistor is formed using a crystalline region in which crystal planes are oriented along {211} or {101}.

A pressure control valve includes a valve portion disposed in a passage from a refrigerant radiator to a suction port of a refrigerant compressor in a vapor-compression refrigerant cycle system. The valve portion controls a refrigerant pressure at an outlet of the refrigerant radiator in accordance with a refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the refrigerant radiator, and the valve portion has a control pressure characteristic in which a pressure change relative to a temperature is smaller than that of the refrigerant. Furthermore, the valve portion may have a fluid passage through which refrigerant flows even when a valve port of the valve portion is closed by a valve body. Accordingly, when the refrigerant radiator is used for heating a fluid, heating capacity for heating the fluid can be rapidly increased at a heating start time.

A processed biomass / coal blended compact aggregate composition made with a blending sub-system from a processed organic-carbon-containing feedstock made with a beneficiation sub-system and high energy coal is described. Renewable biomass feedstock passed through a beneficiation sub-system to produce a processed biomass with an energy density of at least 17 MMBTU / ton (19 GJ / MT), a water content of below at least 20 wt % and an intracellular water-soluble salt that is at least 60% below that of unprocessed organic-carbon-containing feedstock on a dry basis. High energy un-cleaned coal is sized and passed through a coal cleaning sub-system to result in cleaned high energy coal having an energy density of at least 21 MMBTU / ton (24 GJ / MT) and a content of sulfur that is at least 50 wt % less than that of the content of sulfur in the coal before it passed through the coal cleaning sub-system. The processed feedstock is sized and blended with the cleaned high energy coal in a blending sub-system to form a blended aggregate that comprises at least 10 wt % of the cleaned high energy coal and at least 10 wt % of the processed biomass.

An improved reversible cycle heat pump system incorporating powered subcooling to increase heating capacity by over 50 percent over conventional heat pump technology without imposing a performance penalty; wherein over 21 percent is attributable to evaporator capacity gained by subcooling, over 21 percent is attributable to recovery and utilization of sensible heat energy removed as a by-product of subcooling, and over 8 percent is attributable to recovery and utilization of sensible heat energy resulting from the conversion of electric energy to mechanical work, heat of compression, and mechanical heat of friction. The powered subcooling improvement is also easily installed as original equipment, or retrofitted to existing heat pump systems.
