  • Pressurized anneal of consolidated powders
    Patent number: 9573324
    Abstract: Systems and methods for producing a dense, well bonded solid material from a powder may include consolidating the powder utilizing any suitable consolidation method, such as explosive shockwave consolidation. The systems and methods may also include a post-processing thermal treatment that exploits a mismatch between the coefficients of thermal expansion between the consolidated material and the container. Due to the mismatch in the coefficients, internal pressure on the consolidated material during the heat treatment may be increased.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 3, 2015
    Date of Patent: February 21, 2017
    Assignee: TXL GROUP, INC.
    Inventors: David Charles Nemir, Edward S. Rubio, Jan Bastian Beck

  • Thermoelectric devices having reduced parasitics
    Publication number: 20140305479
    Abstract: A tubular thermoelectric device wherein conductive substrates and completion elements serve a multiple role of structural support, thermal conductance and electrical conductance. Improved system thermoelectric performance accrues from the minimization of the number of interfaces between dissimilar materials, leading to a reduction in system thermal parasitics and system electrical parasitics. By engineering the shape and orientation of substrates and completion elements, improvements in heat transfer to heat reservoirs is accomplished and improved electrical conductivity is accomplished.

  • Thin walled thermoelectric devices and methods for production thereof
    Publication number: 20100154855
    Abstract: A thermoelectric generator is built into the wall of a heat exchanger by applying coatings of dielectric, electrical conductor and N-type and P-type thermoelectric materials. A tubular heat exchanger lends itself to the application of coatings in annular rings, providing ease of manufacture and a structure that is robust to damage.
