A multi-stage fluid conditioning system having a housing with a fluid inlet and outlet. A shaft extends within the housing and supports a first fan unit with a first magnet/electromagnet plate on an inlet side of said housing and a second fan unit with a second magnet/electromagnet supporting plate on an outlet side of the housing. Each of the first and second magnet/electromagnet supporting plates include at least one vane configured to direct fluid flow. The shaft rotates the plates in order to draw a fluid flow through the inlet and successively across the inlet and outlet sides for thermal conditioning resulting from creation of high frequency oscillating magnetic fields according to a succeeding conditioning operations before being outputted the conditioned fluid from the housing through the fluid outlet.

Disclosed is a covering of a fan unit of an information handling system. The covering contains a bottom covering and a top covering. The bottom covering contains i) copper and an first aluminum alloy, or ii) 10 wt. % to 50 wt. % of a thermally conductive plastic, and 50 wt. % to 90 wt. % of a post-consumer-recycled (PCR) plastic and/or biodegradable plastic. The top covering contains copper and a second aluminum alloy. The bottom covering houses a motor and blades of a fan of the fan unit, the top covering abuts against the bottom covering, and the fan is positioned in a space formed between the bottom and top covering. Fan unit containing the covering, and an information handling system containing the fan unit is also disclosed.

The CPAP device includes a blower. The blower includes a motor and a blower fan rotatable by the motor. The motor includes a stator assembly including a plurality of coils arranged in a circumferential direction, and a rotor assembly including a permanent magnet and disposed in an inner side portion of the stator assembly in a radial direction. An output shaft is inserted into the rotor assembly. The output shaft rotates together with the rotor assembly. The blower fan is fixed to a tip end of one side of the output shaft. Part of the output shaft is inserted into an insertion hole provided at a center of the base. A plain bearing is interposed between an inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole and an outer peripheral surface of the output shaft.

An aerospace component, for example, used in a gas turbine engine, includes the following structurally-integrated layers: a metallic layer and a composite layer having reinforcing fibers embedded in a matrix material. The aerospace component can also include an insulating layer disposed between the metallic layer and the composite layer where the insulating layer has a thermal conductivity that is lower than a thermal conductivity of the composite layer.

A bearing assembly for a turbo-engine with a bearing and parts of a bearing temperature detecting device. The bearing includes a main body having a thermoplastic bearing layer. A space is defined in the interior of the main body and of the thermoplastic bearing layer for accommodating parts of the bearing temperature detecting device. The space has a through hole having a first opening in the thermoplastic bearing layer and a second opening located in the main body. The parts include a temperature conducting element, a temperature sensor, and a securing fixture that attaches the temperature conducting element. The first opening of the through hole has a chamfer and the first end of temperature conducting element has a head which is correspondingly shaped to the chamfer in a form fitting manner. The center-axis of the temperature sensor extends transversely to the center-axis of the temperature conducting element.

An assembly having an outer tubular portion delimiting an inner space, an inner tubular portion in the outer tubular portion, a fluid jacket in the inner tubular portion, a plurality of groups of at least four thermal flow sensors. For each group, the sensors of the group are disposed in the inner space and overall in one and the same plane perpendicular to a central line. In each group, the sensors of the group are distributed angularly about the central line. A control unit which, for each group, receives the data from each sensor of the group and which, on the basis of these data, determines a warning level. With such an arrangement, the monitoring of the values of the different thermal flow sensors makes it possible to monitor a potential problem at the fluid jacket.
