1. A tomography apparatus comprising:
an apparatus frame having an interior containing heat-generating components;
a flow-generating arrangement in said interior of said apparatus frame that generates a flow of air within said interior of said apparatus frame to convey heat away from said heat-generating components;
a ventilation element mounted at said apparatus frame and having a passage therein that communicates the interior of said apparatus frame with an exterior of said apparatus frame to allow air flow through said ventilation element between an intake window of said ventilation element, located in said interior of said apparatus frame, and a discharge opening of said ventilation element located at said exterior of said apparatus frame; and
said intake window comprising a middle region and respective side regions on opposite sides of said middle region, said side regions having an effective air intake cross-section that is larger than an effective air intake cross-section of said middle region in order to produce a substantially uniform flow profile of air at said discharge window of said ventilation element.
2. A tomography apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein that said apparatus frame comprises an annular channel therein in which said air flows, and in which said intake window is located.
3. A tomography apparatus as claimed in claim 2 wherein said intake window comprises an upper section having a convex shape conforming to an outer contour of said annular channel.
4. A tomography apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said ventilation element comprises a paddle having a front edge forming a roller section of said intake window.
5. A tomography apparatus as claimed in claim 4 wherein said ventilation element comprises a housing, and wherein said paddle comprises a straight rear edge forming a closure with said housing.
6. A tomography apparatus as claimed in claim 5 wherein said paddle is mounted for rotation around an axis proceeding through said straight edge allowing adjustment of said paddle to produce different effective air intake cross-sections of said intake window.
7. A tomography apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said flow generating arrangement generates said flow of air in said interior of said annular frame in a flow direction, and wherein said ventilation element is a first ventilation element, said tomography apparatus comprising a plurality of additional ventilation elements corresponding to said first ventilation element located at said apparatus frame at successive locations along said direction of said flow of air, said traditional ventilation elements respectively having successively larger intake cross-sections along said direction of said flow of air.
8. A tomography apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said ventilation element comprises direction panels distributed across said discharge window that modify a direction of flow of said air from said discharge window.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An Elastic Suspension Apparatus for Beverages for suspending and anchoring a beverage container within a cabin of a vehicle; wherein said apparatus is secured within a vehicle cabin by a mounting device at both uppermost and lowermost ends of said apparatus; wherein said uppermost mounting device is secured within the uppermost area of a cabin of a vehicle and said lowermost mounting device is secured within the lowermost area of a cabin of a vehicle; wherein said apparatus has an elastic substantially cylindrical shaped cup receiving main body portion; said main body portion has upward elongated parallel extended lengths; wherein a beverage container is placed in said cup receiving main body portion; an object with a vacant center is raised or lowered along said upward elongated parallel extended lengths to help stabilize said beverage container within the said main body portion; said apparatus also having an elastic uppermost suspensemounting portion and an elastic lowermost anchoringmounting portion; said portions each having an adjustable securing device for applying or releasing tension and attaching said uppermost and lowermost portions to the main body portion of said apparatus comprising:
said object with said vacant center;
said elastic substantially cylindrical shaped cup receiving main body portion partially threaded through said object with said vacant center;
said elastic uppermost suspensemounting portion attached to said uppermost portion of said main body portion via said uppermost adjustable securing device above the object with said vacant center; and
said elastic lowermost anchoringmounting portion attached to said lowermost portion of said main body portion;
said uppermost suspensemounting portion having said uppermost adjustable securing device and said uppermost suspensemounting device of any means and said lowermost anchoringmounting portion having said lowermost adjustable securing device and said lowermost anchoringmounting device of any means.
