The present disclosure discloses a device and a method for converting reciprocating motion into continuous rotation, and application includes: a central shaft and rotating discs, each rotating disc is connected to the central shaft through a bearing, the rotating disc is arranged concentrically with the bearing, wings are arranged on a circumference of rotating disc, upper wing surfaces of the wings are of convex structures. According to the device for converting reciprocating motion into continuous rotation of the present disclosure, the rotating directions of the wings can be kept unchanged all the time during the reciprocating motion of the device by using airfoil structures of the wings in the device and limiting mounting angles of the wings, so as to obtain a continuous lifting force with a constant direction.

An x-ray tube casing is provided which includes a housing having a heat exchanger integrally formed thereon in an additive manufacturing process. The additive manufacturing process allows for tight tolerances with regard to the structure for the casing and the internal passages of the heat exchanger to significantly reduce the size and weight of the casing. The casing additionally includes a fluid distribution manifold that effectively distributes the cooling fluid within the casing to more efficiently provide cooling to the x-ray tube insert disposed within the casing.

An evaporated fuel processing device includes a fuel tank, a canister, an atmospheric passage, a vapor passage, an intake pipe, a purge passage, a purge pump, and a flow rate control valve. The evaporated fuel is desorbed utilizing only negative pressure in the intake pipe when sufficient negative pressure is generated in the intake pipe. The purge pump is driven to desorb the evaporated from the canister when sufficient negative pressure is not generated in the intake pipe. The purge pump and the flow rate control valve may be provided in the purge passage. The purge pump is a vortex pump through which the gas can flow even when drive is stopped. The minimum cross-sectional area of the internal space of the flow passage of the purge pump is equal to or larger than the minimum cross-sectional area of the internal space of the other parts of the purge passage.
