    Abstract: A heat exchange panel (1) that includes a lower plate (11 ) and an upper plate (14) that together define a plurality of channels (51 ) there-between, which are in fluid communication with a plurality of upper plate extension passages (72), is described. The lower plate (11) includes a plurality of lower plate extensions (20) that extend upwardly from the interior surface (17) of the lower plate. Each channel (51) has at least one lower plate extension (20) extending upwardly therefrom. The upper plate (14) includes a plurality of upwardly extending hollow upper plate extensions (32). The aperture (42) and interior hollow space (48) of each upper plate extension (32) is aligned with and receives an upper portion (69) of a single lower plate extension (20) therein. A portion of the interior surfaces (45) that define the interior hollow space (48) of the upper plate extension (32), and a portion of the exterior surfaces (23) of the upper portion (69) of the lower plate extension (20) received within the interior hollow space (48) together define, in each case, an upper plate extension passage (72). Each upper plate extension passage (72) is in fluid communication with a channel (51 ) residing there-under. In operation, a fluid introduced into a terminal inlet (54) of a channel (51) passes through each upper plate extension channel (72) in fluid communication with that channel, and passes out from the terminal outlet (57) of the channel. The combination of a plurality of upper plate extension passages (72) and channels (51 ) in common fluid communication provide the heat exchange panel of the present invention with improved heat exchange efficiencies.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and molding system (1) for forming a molded plastic article by wireless control. The molding system includes a primary controller (12) that is adapted to engage in wireless communications with the carriage controller (45) of one or more self-propelled carriages (15). Each carriage (15) includes a carriage location indicator (62) that determines the location of the carriage, which is transmitted substantially continuously to the carriage controller (45), and then communicated substantially continuously and wirelessly from the carriage controller to the primary controller (12). The primary controller (12) wirelessly communicates position directives (e.g., a polymer introduction station position directive) to each carriage controller (45), which correspondingly provides operational position instructions to each carriage's respective propulsion system (30), so as to re-position at least one carriage. The primary controller also provides directives to other secondary controllers in the molding system, depending on the status of, and in particular the location of the various carriages within, the molding system. For example, with a carriage (15) positioned in the polymer introduction station (18), the primary controller (12) communicates one or more polymer introduction directives to a polymer introduction controller (68), which then provides operational polymer introduction instructions to a polymer introduction apparatus (71 ), such as an extruder, thus resulting in the introduction of a polymer composition into contact with the interior mold surface (27) of the mold (24), and accordingly formation of a molded article.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming a molded article (e.g., 141) from first and second heated and thermoformable thermoplastic sheets (75, 78), which are each respectively formed in situ from first and second thermoplastic compositions (e.g., by means of extrusion). The heated first and second thermoformable sheets are each drawn by reduced pressure into contour matching contact with the interior mold surfaces (14, 32) of separate first and second mold portions (11, 29), so as to form separate first and second profiled thermoplastic sheets (129, 144) within the separate mold portions. The first and second mold portions (11, 29) are positioned towards each other (e.g., together) so as to bring into contact and fuse together contact portions (159, 163) of the first and second profiled thermoplastic sheets (129, 144). Fusion between the contacted contact portions (159, 163) is achieved by means of (e.g., exclusively by means of) residual heat of sheet formation residing in each of the first and second profiled thermoplastic sheets (129, 144). The present invention also relates to a mold apparatus (e.g., 1 ) that includes a mold assembly (3, 5) that further includes a first mold portion (11 ) and a second mold portion (29) that reside between and are rotatably attached to laterally spaced first and second longitudinal supports (171, 174). At least one mold portion is longitudinally repositionable, between the first and second longitudinal supports, relative to the other mold portion.
