An apparatus for the extrusion of a solid strand into a matrix material is disclosed. The apparatus consists of two main parts including an adapter for constraining the strand until mixing with the matrix (‘strand injector’), and a motor-driven gear system that feeds the strand into the injector (‘strand extruder’). With this system, a bare strand can be extruded allowing for the creation of lead-in/lead-out sections, or for use with a matrix without an inherent curing, drying, or solidifying mechanism. Additionally, this apparatus allows for the extrusion of small (30-40 AWG) strands, enabling unique applications such as the injection of a resistive strand where smaller diameter strands are advantageous for minimized electrical or thermal overhead.

A radiator system uses an innovative passive control scheme in combination with dependable mechanical design features to meet or exceed the requirements for orbital applications. The disclosed radiator system is unique because we target an extremely high turndown ratio of 200:1 with an entirely passive two-phase pumped loop using ammonia as the working fluid. Sections of the radiator will selectively freeze to assist the turndown, and the mechanical design of the radiator can handle the high pressures experienced during such freezing and thawing events.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for ensuring adequate and uniform cooling for any heat-generating device that experiences large heat pulses by integrating parallel expansion devices and their control directly into each of a discrete cooling load or cold plate. One of the parallel expansion devices is an integrated cartridge thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) and the other is an electrically-actuated valve. The TXV is positioned such that a sensing element is located directly within an exit refrigerant stream, thereby improving time-response of the valve and eliminating the need for a capillary tube. The electrically-actuated valve provides a sudden burst of refrigerant while the TXV is responding to sudden heat pulses and operates at the command of the heat generating system or triggered by a temperature rise. The disclosed operational method leads to an order of magnitude reduction in settling time after a heat pulse.

Simple low-cost retrofit device and method to replace a variable air flow electronically commutated motor with a permanent split capacitor motor capable of operating at multiple speed settings
A device and method are provided to allow replacement of costlier motors with a retrofittable control board and a lower cost motors operating a several speeds to provide variable (but not continuously variable) blower airflow. The control signals normally used to command the motor being replaced are only used to detect the need to activate the blower motor; once detected, the control board activates the replacement blower motor by energizing a blower motor speed tap with the evaporator blower initially set to a high speed. Then the blower speed is lowered if a predetermined negligibly small, acceptable change in evaporator temperature has occurred. Given the number of speed taps on the replacement blower motor, the evaporator blower speed is continued to be reduced from the initially set high speed as long as there is only an acceptably small change in the measured evaporator temperature.

A device is described for transmitting mechanical power that allows variable output-speed to input-speed ratios. Gear sets such as epicyclic gear sets have components that rotate about a common axis selectively at the same rotational speed and at different relative rotational speeds as determined by at least one of fluid flow and fluid pressure. One or more inlet ports and fluid passageways introduce a working fluid into one or more volume spaces between the components. The internal pressure and flow of the working fluid through the device is controlled to provide substantially infinite variability of the output-speed to input-speed ratios for applications where, for example, an engine provides the mechanical power for propelling a vehicle.

HVAC/R system refrigerant and oil conditioning composition, and method for removing acid and moisture therewith
A refrigerant and oil treatment composition for introduction into a vapor-compression system such as a refrigerator, heat pump, freezer, air conditioner, thermal control device, and refrigerant recovery apparatus has a composition alcohol and a drying agent. The drying agent is 2,2 -dimethoxypropane which can react with moisture in the system to form an alcohol as a reaction product.

A mounting pad system for securing equipment, such as an HVAC outdoor unit, is provided in the form of a lightweight fillable pad member having securing slots extending from an underside surface to an upperside surface of the pad member. Securing strap assemblies are associated with at least some of the securing slots and are insertable into the latter to secure the equipment therebetween. The pad member contains a filling port on its upper surface and is configured as a molded hollow shell containing a gelling material which, when mixed with water, provides support to reduce deflection of the pad member caused by the equipment secured to the pad, prevents damage to the pad that would otherwise be caused by the expansion of internal contents upon freezing and prevents leakage of internal contents of the fillable pad in the event of an unintended breach in the hollow shell. The pad member is provided with at least one through-hole for allowing a securing anchor to be inserted therethrough into the ground at the installation site without disturbing sealing integrity of the hollow shell.

Integrated cold plate with expansion device and uniform cooling method achieved therewith
A method is disclosed for uniformly cooling a cooling plate of a heat generating device. Sub-cooled refrigerant is flowed through a thermal expansion valve and then into the cooling plate as a two-phase refrigerant where the refrigerant is superheated. Any refrigerant remaining in a fluid state before reaching a sensing portion associated with the thermal expansion valve and exiting the cooling plate can be completely vaporized by a recuperative heat exchanger. The superheated refrigerant is then passed to the sensing portion so that the superheated refrigerant directly transfers heat to a fluid within the sensing portion and causes a pressure change that is communicated to a needle of the thermal expansion valve.
An apparatus and method are described for high-yield fast pyrolysis of biomass feedstock to produce a liquid bio-oil product. A bubbling fluidized bed reactor is provided having an integrated, rapid quench apparatus for minimizing secondary cracking reactions that can otherwise lower the yield of bio-oil. A quench stream is provided inside the reactor to minimize the residence time that the product vapors spend at high temperature where cracking can occur. The quench stream is introduced downstream of the fluidized bed but still internal to the reactor. The fluidized bed medium is constrained to the bottom of the reactor and is not cooled by the quench stream.

A reactor and method for seeded growth of nano-products such as carbon nanotubes, wires and filaments in which selected precursors are introduced into the reactor which is heated to a temperature sufficient to induce nano-product formation from interaction between the precursor gases and a nanopore templated catalyst. The selected precursors are segregated in the reactor through a plate defining two chambers which are sealed off from each other except for a void space provided in the plate. The void space is closed off by a membrane having nanopores and a catalyst formed as a layer. Atomic transfer of material from the selected precursors to form the nano-products on the catalyst layer in the other of the chambers occurs by diffusion through the catalyst layer to form the nano-product on the other of the chambers absent a pressure drop between the two chambers.

An article composed of sintered particles is produced by depositing ligand-containing particles on a substrate, then scanning the substrate with an electron beam that generates sufficient surface and subsurface heating to substantially eliminate the ligands and melt or sinter the particles into a cohesive film with superior charge carrier properties. The particles are sintered or melted together to form a polycrystalline layer that is substantially ligand-free to form, for example, a film such as a continuous polycrystalline film. The scanning operation is conducted so as to heat treat a controllably localized region at and below a surface of the particles by selecting a rate of deposited energy at the region to exceed a rate of conduction away from the substrate.
