A system for automatically controlling an electrode drying includes: an oven which provides a space where an electrode sheet is moved and dried, includes a dryer which applies hot air and/or radiant heat to the electrode sheet, and is divided into a plurality of drying sections; a measuring unit which collects information on a dried amount of the electrode sheet and transmits the collected information to a controller; and the controller which determines a dried level of the electrode sheet based on the information on the dried amount received from the measuring unit, and control a drying intensity of the oven according to the determined dried level. Herein, the controller independently controls the plurality of drying sections.

The ultrasonic radiation apparatus includes a first transducer support having a substantially planar first main face. The first transducer support has a plurality of first mounts on the first main face. The apparatus includes a second transducer support having a substantially planar second main face. The second transducer support has a plurality of second mounts on the second main face, and is arranged such that a second normal of the second main face intersects a first normal of the first main face at a common target point. The apparatus includes a plurality of first ultrasonic waves attached to the plurality of first mounts to radiate ultrasonic waves traveling along the first normal. The apparatus includes a plurality of second ultrasonic transducers attached to the plurality of second mounts to radiate ultrasonic waves traveling along the second normal.

A drying device includes a first heater, a second heater, a conveyance path, and an infrared heater. The first heater contacts and heats a medium on which liquid is applied. The second heater contacts and heats the medium. The second heater contacts the medium at a distance longer than a distance at which the first heater contacts the medium. The conveyance path of the medium includes a first conveyance-path portion and a second conveyance-path portion. The medium is conveyed while contacting the first heater in the first conveyance-path portion. The first conveyance-path portion is disposed upstream from the second heater in a direction of conveyance of the medium. The second conveyance-path portion is disposed downstream from the second heater in the direction of conveyance of the medium. The infrared heater is disposed in the second conveyance-path portion, to irradiate an infrared ray to the medium.

A light emitting device includes a substrate, a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in three or more rows on the substrate, and a light-transmissive member including a cylindrical lens portion having an array of three or more cylindrical lenses arranged parallel to each other along the rows of the light emitting elements so that each of the cylindrical lenses is on one of the three or more rows of light emitting elements. The rows of the light emitting elements are arranged with substantially uniform intervals. The cylindrical lens portion includes first cylindrical lens portions including at least cylindrical lenses at outermost sides of the array, and a second cylindrical lens portion arranged at an inner side of the first cylindrical lens portions and having a height greatest in the cylindrical lens portion.

An alignment film drying system and a method for drying alignment films are proposed. The alignment film drying system is used for drying an alignment film coated on a substrate. The alignment film drying system includes a plurality of magnetrons. The alignment liquid is coated on one side of the substrate facing the plurality of magnetrons and is heated through electromagnetic radiation produced by the plurality of magnetrons. The dried alignment liquid forms an alignment film having a uniform thickness, which ensures that the display effect of LCDs is better.

The present invention comprises an apparatus having a base that has the ability to inlet air, a heater contained within the core of the base whereby the heater can be turned on or turned off either manually, or an auto-fashion, circuitry that allows control of the clothes drying process, outlets that deliver hot air, cool air, or alternating hot air, cool air be passed to attached clothes and a hanging mechanism that allows various clothes to be hung on the apparatus.

A method of drying and/or curing an organic coating on a continuously running metal strip, includes heating the strip by electromagnetic induction in a tunnel furnace having an enclosure with hot internal walls and heating the enclosure. The heating of the strip by electromagnetic induction is coupled with heating by infrared radiation and heating by convection with a combustion gas. The heating of the enclosure of the furnace is performed by convection using the same combustion gas used for heating the strip by convection. A device for implementing the method is also provided.

A highly portable, self-contained, multiple-item drying system that directs an antibacterial warmed air flow stream through a series of separate flexible, expandable, conduits (hoses) to provide an efficient, inexpensive, uncomplicated drying, sanitizing, deodorizing, and heating apparatus.
