  • Thermophoretic sampler
    Patent number: 9618439
    Abstract: A thermophoretic sampler includes a sample assembly into which a removable sample cartridge can be inserted. The sample cartridge holds a substrate that, upon insertion, is exposed to a sample chamber. Thermophoresis is induced in the sample chamber, causing nanoparticles to be deposited on the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 11, 2017
    Assignees: Colorado State University Research Foundation, RJ Lee Group, Inc.
    Inventors: John Volckens, Gary Casuccio, Henry P. Lentz, Anthony Marchese, John T. Mastovich, Daniel David Miller-Lionberg, Judith Chun-Hsu Yang

  • Active spacecraft thermal control system and method
    Patent number: 5954298
    Abstract: A spacecraft (10) has combined propulsion and active thermal control systems. A propellant storage tank (20) couples to a pressurant storage tank (18). A working fluid (52) resides in the pressurant storage tank (18) and propels propellant when needed while concurrently acting as a thermal working fluid. The working fluid (52) is expanded then routed to selected cooled components (64). After passing by the cooled components (64), the working fluid (52) is compressed and passed by selected heated components (82). A controller (36) monitors temperature sensors (88) and controls valve assemblies (60, 78) to determine the components (64, 82) to which the working fluid (52) is routed.
