The molded foam includes a protruding portion protruding from the parting line (PL) on one side of the parting line (PL) at least in the proximity of the open end (). 1. A molded foam having a tubular section with an open end , wherein a parting line formed during molding extends to the open end , the molded foam including a protruding portion protruding from the parting line on one side of the parting line at least in the proximity of the open end.2. The molded foam according to claim 1 , wherein the tubular section has a shape in which the diameter increases toward the open end. This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2012-032101 filed on Feb. 16, 2012, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to molded resin foams.2. Related ArtIn the air conditioning system of an automobile or the like, for example, a tubular air conditioning duct for venting air is used. A known example of an air conditioning duct is a molded foam (hereinbelow referred to as “foam duct”) for which a resin foam is used consisting of a thermoplastic resin foamed by a foaming agent. Demand in foam ducts has grown because of their strong heat insulating properties and low weight.A widely known example of a method for manufacturing such a foam duct is blow molding in which a melted resin is clamped in a divided mold and the interior is filled with air and then the air is expanded. With recent improvements in molding techniques, it has become possible to mass-produce foam ducts with increased expansion ratios.A known example of a technique recently submitted for application by the applicant is a foam duct molded by foam blow molding in which a supercritical fluid is added as a foaming agent, wherein the ...

A blower configured to suction and discharge first fluid and second fluid includes a fan and a division wall. The fan is configured to rotate relative to the division wall. The division wall is spaced from the fan and positioned in a suction space, the division wall partitioning the suction space into a space through which the first fluid passes and a space through which the second fluid passes. The division wall includes a base and a widened portion. The base guides flows of the first fluid and the second fluid toward the fan. In the suction space, the widened portion is closer to a rotation area of the fan than the base is. A width of the widened portion in a direction along a thickness of an end of the base connected to the widened portion is larger than the thickness of the end of the base.

Described herein is a heating and/or air-conditioning device for a motor vehicle, the device including an inlet duct for the supply of fresh air, an air transmission branch, and an air heating branch, both supplied by the inlet duct and communicating with each other via a mixing zone. A butterfly flap is mounted pivotably around a rotation axis located at the mixing zone. The butterfly flap comprises a first wing associated with a first branch and a second wing associated with a second branch, as well as a wing extension elastically hinged to the first wing according to a hinge axis parallel to the rotation axis of the butterfly flap. Within the first branch are arranged abutment formations suitable to be engaged by the wing extension and to induce, during a rotation of the butterfly flap, a rotation of the wing extension with respect to the first wing.

A system for cooling a plurality of electrical equipment components inside a mobile platform may include at least one manifold and a plurality of flexible tubing ducts. The manifold may have an outlet, and a plurality of inlet tubing connections in fluid communication with the outlet. The outlet may be coupled to an interface of a cooling system of the platform by exhaust tubing. Each of the flexible tubing ducts may have a proximal end and a distal end. Each proximal end may be selectively connectable to the inlet tubing connections. Each distal end may have an air intake port that is alternatively positionable in two or more thermal dissipation zones of the electrical equipment components for permitting an exhaust profile inside the platform to the interface to be reconfigured based at least in part on respective positions of the electrical equipment components. 114-. (canceled)15. A method , comprising:altering a hardware configuration from a first state to a second state within a compartment of a mobile platform, the hardware configuration in the first state having a thermally convective first profile, the hardware configuration in the second state having a thermally convective second profile that is distinct from the first profile; andaltering an exhaust duct configuration, extending from at least one exhaust manifold disposed within the compartment, from a first arrangement that compliments the first profile to a second arrangement that compliments the second profile and is distinct from the first arrangement, wherein the exhaust manifold has an outlet in fluid communication with both the exhaust duct configuration and an interface of a cooling system of the mobile platform.16. The method of claim 15 , wherein altering the hardware configuration from the first state to the second state involves installing an additional electrical equipment component in the compartment claim 15 , and altering the exhaust duct configuration involves (a) connecting a proximal end ...
