    摘要: “TopSink: Liquid Storage Device with Automatic Discharge in High Volume Batches” is a liquid storage device that automatically discharges excess liquid in preset volumes. By releasing surplus liquid from below the surface, TopSink prevents air from entering the discharge line, which significantly improves the “head”—or flow force—in the line. With no air in the line, and with the liquid being released at high volumes, the discharged liquid is able to travel a further distance—even over an incline—without external inputs like electricity. This advantage is in contrast with traditional overflow designs, which merely have a standpipe that enables excess water to trickle out of the line as the level rises. This allows air into the system, causing excess water to pool in the line and travel a minimal distance, TopSink solves this problem by releasing the energy of stored water in high volume bursts, from below the liquid's surface.

    摘要: A shunt tank assembly for a cooling system is provided. The shunt tank assembly includes a vent tube, a shunt tank, and an inlet port provided on the shunt tank. The inlet port is in fluid communication with the vent tube. The shunt tank assembly also includes an insert disposed in the inlet port. The shunt tank assembly further includes a drop tube. The drop tube includes a plug portion having a first length and received within the insert. The drop tube includes a transition portion tapered with respect to the plug portion. The drop tube includes a tube portion extending from the transition portion and terminating with a chamfered end. The tube portion has a second length greater than the first length of the plug portion. The tube portion is bent such that the chamfered end is disposed below an average coolant level of the shunt tank.

    摘要: A cup holder with an adjustable depth includes: a cup-holder base, having at least one accommodation hole; a fixed cup holder, fixed in the accommodation hole of the cup-holder base; and a moveable cup holder, moveably sleeved over the fixed cup holder and capable of rotating around the fixed cup holder to ascend and descend, where during ascending and descending of the moveable cup holder, an inner cavity of the moveable cup holder and an inner cavity of the fixed cup holder jointly define a container placement hole for placement of containers of different heights. The present invention solves the problem that containers of different heights placed in the cup holder easily fall out when the automobile is accelerating, hard braking or travelling over uneven road surfaces. In addition, after the moveable cup holder descends to the lowest position, the moveable cup holder can completely overlap the fixed cup holder, so that the entire cup holder has a small height and is therefore suitable for installation in a thin interior trim part of the automobile, for example, in the armrest at the rear seat, thereby saving interior trim space in the automobile.

    摘要: A can end for a two-piece beverage can is described. The can end has a center panel positioned about a vertical center axis. The center panel has a means for opening the can end located on a public side. A circumferential strengthening member is located about the center panel. A wall extends upwardly from the circumferential strengthening member. A curl is joined to an upper end of the wall. The curl defines an outer perimeter of the can end. A reinforcing bead is located on the wall between an uppermost portion of the wall and a lowermost portion of the wall.

    摘要: A bucket sump system for use with a liquid which includes a bucket having an interior comprising: sides defining an open top and coupled to a flat bottom, and a wedge insert received by the interior of the bucket, resting flush against the flat bottom of the bucket. The wedge insert has a flat bottom portion, a sloped top surface connected to the bottom portion through a first side having a first height and a second side having a second height, and an orifice defined by the first side of the wedge insert. The liquid received by the interior of the bucket flows from the second side of the sloped top portion of the wedge insert to the first side of the sloped top portion of the wedge insert and into the orifice. The second height of the wedge insert is greater than the first height of the wedge insert.

    摘要: The disclosed device primarily consists of a band, ring, or other piece of shape memory polymer (SMP) or SMP composite in various embodiments that allows or disallows containment. When the SMP reaches its transition temperature (Tg) the SMP provides the means for releasing containment of the pressurized material so as to prevent ignition or explosion of hazardous material. At normal operating temperatures, the SMP is in a deformed shape maintaining an environmental seal to protect the contents of the container. When environmental conditions cause the SMP or SMP composite to exceed its Tg, specified by the operating requirements, the SMP returns to its memory shape in a controlled geometry, rather than simply melting. The return of the SMP to its memory shape causes the venting of the container in different manners depending on which embodiment is utilized.
