    摘要: Pneumatic actuator assemblies include a mounting base with a mounting base wall having a base surface portion a bearing support surface portion facing generally opposite the base surface portion. A flex member has a flex member wall that includes an engagement wall portion. The flex member is secured to the mounting base such that an actuator chamber is at least partially defined therebetween. A bearing element that has a bearing element surface is supported on the mounting base. The pneumatic actuator is displaceable between a first condition in which an exposed portion of the bearing element surface is spaced farther from the base surface portion than the engagement wall portion and a second condition in which the engagement wall portion is spaced a farther from the base surface portion than the exposed portion of the bearing element surface. Conveying systems and methods of assembly are also included.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for implementing microscale thermoacoustic heat and power control for processors and three dimensional (3D) chip stacks. A thermoacoustic heat engine is integrated with a 3D chip-stack and high power processors. The thermoacoustic heat engine is used in cooperation with a heat sink associated with the 3D chip-stack. Predefined connecting layers connect the 3D chip-stack to a cooling end of a thermoacoustic stack of the thermoacoustic heat engine, allowing the cooled end of the resonator to maintain temperature within the 3D chip-stack and to increase the efficiency of the heat sink.

    摘要: A chamber having an internal volume, end surfaces and a side wall. The chamber is adapted to change its volume by leakage-free displacement of the end surface. The side wall has at least three adjacent sleeves (1-6), and an elastic seal (8-14) is arranged between each of the sleeves, such that the seals are pressurized and expanded when the sleeves are moved due to a displacement of the end surfaces.

    摘要: An improved integral spring brake actuator and mount is provided in which a portion of the spring brake actuator is integrally formed with a connecting flange and a brake cam shaft support tube. The improved integral spring brake actuator and mount is significantly lighter than previous multi-part built-up spring brake actuators and mounting brackets, decreasing vehicle weight, eliminating the need for costly high-quality welding and lowering manufacturing costs. The integral spring brake actuator and mount may be formed from cast aluminum.

    摘要: In a hydraulic fluid pump, in particular for a vehicle brake system, having a housing and a piston that is mounted in an axially movable manner in the housing in a piston chamber. A drive moves the piston and a sealing element seals off the piston chamber in the direction of the drive. The sealing element is designed as a diaphragm that extends through the piston chamber transversely with respect to the movement direction of the piston.

    摘要: An artificial muscle (10) comprises a chamber (12) having a flexible wall of plastics material, a device for heating and/or cooling a low-boiling-point fluid contained in, or in communication with, the chamber so that at least some of the fluid changes state between liquid and gaseous so that the force in the chamber on the flexible wall changes and/or the flexible wall moves to change the volume of the chamber, and a tendon (14) which at least partly encircles the chamber over an extent that varies with variations in the chamber volume for transmitting force between the flexible wall and a load. The use of a low-boiling-point fluid operating at around its boiling point enables plastics materials to be used without thermal damage, and the use of plastics materials enables low production costs. The use of a flexible wall to convey an effort to a load avoids the need for sliding parts and can provide advantages such as reduced friction and ease of sealing. The use of a low-boiling-point fluid operating at around its boiling point also enables large changes in pressure to be achieved with relatively small changes in temperature, so that the muscle can operate over a relatively small temperature range. The use of a low-boiling-point fluid operating at around its boiling point also reduces the risk of personal injury. The tendon arrangement provides less of a restriction on the operating range of the muscle than a McKibben type arrangement.
