EXTRUDED ALUMINUM STICKER FOR SPACING WOOD
20220297173 · 2022-09-22 ·

A sticker for spacing wood is extruded from an aluminum alloy. The sticker can have different configurations. In a first configuration, the sticker has a width about the same as its height, with longitudinal ridges on all sides that grip wood when wood is stacked on the sticker. In a second configuration, the sticker has a width significantly greater than its height, with longitudinal ridges on the top and bottom surfaces, and with smooth side surfaces. The longitudinal ridges have a height within a specified range and are spaced at a distance peak-to-peak within a specified range. The ridges provide good grip of lumber stacked on the sticker yet do not easily plug with wood fibers through repeated use. The extruded aluminum sticker is very rugged and can be used for hundreds or even thousands of drying cycles.

20220071054 · 2022-03-03 ·

The present invention is related to a thin heat dissipation device and a method for manufacturing the same. The device of the present invention mainly comprises a hollow body having an enclosed chamber and a working fluid with which the enclosed chamber is filled. The enclosed chamber comprises a first fluid channel and a second fluid channel. The first and second fluid channels extend in the longitudinal direction of the hollow body, are juxtaposed in the width direction of the hollow body and communicated with each other, and an interface between the first fluid channel and the second fluid channel has a height of about 0.1 mm or less. As such, a novel capillary structure which is capable of greatly reducing the entire thickness, enhancing heat transfer efficiency and reducing cost and which is reliable and durable is provided.

METHOD FOR CALIBRATING A METAL PROFILE BLANK WHICH IS CONFIGURED AS A HOLLOW-CHAMBER PROFILE AND WHICH HAS AT LEAST ONE SOLID WALL

A method for calibrating a metal profile blank configured as a hollow-chamber profile having at least one solid wall. A pressing tool is closed in a main direction about one end region of an element of the profile blank until surfaces of the pressing tool lie against a pair of surfaces of the profile blank to be calibrated, deforming and bending the at least one end region of the element. The pressing tool is closed in a secondary direction perpendicular to the main direction until surfaces of the pressing tool lie against surfaces of the at least one end region, and wedge-like limbs of a drive element of the pressing tool engage wedge-like dies of the pressing tool. The pressing tool is closed further in the secondary direction, subjecting the profile blank to plastic deformation so as to reduce or eliminate the bending of the end region.
