Patent number: 11993009Abstract: Additive manufacturing methods use a surrogate slurry to iteratively develop an additive manufacturing protocol and then substitutes a final slurry composition to then additively manufacture a final component using the developed additive manufacturing protocol. In the nuclear reactor component context, the final slurry composition is a nuclear fuel slurry having a composition: 30-45 vol. % monomer resin, 30-70 vol. % plurality of particles of uranium-containing material, >0-7 vol. % dispersant, photoactivated dye, photoabsorber, photoinitiator, and 0-18 vol. % (as a balance) diluent. The surrogate slurry has a similar composition, but a plurality of surrogate particles selected to represent a uranium-containing material are substituted for the particles of uranium-containing material. The method provides a means for in-situ monitoring of characteristics of the final component during manufacture as well as in-situ volumetric inspection.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2020Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: BWXT Advanced Technologies LLCInventors: Benjamin D. Fisher, John R. Salasin, Bryan Blake Wiggins

Patent number: 4911938Abstract: A package with a preferentially releasable seal is provided, suitable for use in microwaveable food cooking. The seal includes a heat-releasable polymer in contact with a microwave susceptor material. Upon heating in a microwave oven, the seal releases in response to force generated by the cooking of the food.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1988Date of Patent: March 27, 1990Assignees: E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company, Campbell Soup CompanyInventors: John R. Fisher, Frederick E. Simon

Patent number: 4892782Abstract: New composite materials useful for wrapping food items to be cooked by microwave energy comprise drapable, liquid permeable, woven or non-woven, fibrous dielectric substrates, which substrates, or fibers of which substrates, are coated and/or imbibed with one or more susceptor materials. The composite materials, when wrapped around a food item to be cooked by microwave energy, enhance the browning and/or crispening of the items.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 1987Date of Patent: January 9, 1990Assignee: E. I. DuPont de Nemours and CompanyInventors: John R. Fisher, Hua-Feng Huang

Patent number: 4871105Abstract: A controlled amount of flux is applied to a circuit board (10) by first directing liquid flux through a nozzle (54) containing means for disintegrating the flux into a very fine fog of tiny flux droplets (62). The fog of flux droplets is injected into a laminar gas stream (52), thereby creating a laminar flux stream which is directed at the circuit board to coat the board with flux. As the flux spray is being directed at the circuit board, the concentration of flux solids on the board is being regulated, typically by controlling the rate of flux pumped into the nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 1989Date of Patent: October 3, 1989Assignee: American Telephone and Telegraph Company, AT&T Bell LaboratoriesInventors: John R. Fisher, Leslie A. Guth, James A. Mahler

Patent number: 4759491Abstract: A controlled amount of a solder is applied to the tip (18) of each lead (14) of a multi-lead component (10) by first placing a solder sphere (30) in each of a plurality of cavities (24) arranged in a baseplate (22) in the same pattern as the tips of the leads. Thereafter, the tips of the leads of the component are placed in contact with the solder spheres while, at the same time, at least a pair of leads are each engaged by a separate one of a pair of alignment pins (32) rising upwardly from the baseplate. The alignment pins serve to constrain the lateral movement of the component, thereby maintaining the leads thereof in alignment with the solder spheres when the solder spheres are reflowed to bond to the tips of the leads.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1987Date of Patent: July 26, 1988Assignee: American Telephone and Telegraph CompanyInventor: John R.

Patent number: 4558812Abstract: Chip carriers (10--10) are released from an end of a dispensing means (38) drawn across a holder (22) having a plurality of apertures (28--28) therein, to place a carrier in each aperture. Small solder spheres (58--58) are located in a plurality of dimples (56--56) of a planar plate (40) in arrays that are substantially the same as a plurality of bonding pad arrays (18--18) on the bottom surface of a plurality of chip carriers. A vacuum is applied to the holder (22) to hold the chip carriers (10--10) in the apertures (28--28) as the holder rotates to place the bonding pads (18--18) in contact with the solder spheres (68--68). The solder spheres (58--58) are reflowed by applying heat to form a solder "bump" (68) on each pad (18). The chip carriers (10--10) are then cooled and loaded into a plurality of the tubular members (39--39).Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1984Date of Patent: December 17, 1985Assignee: AT&T Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Alred S. Bailey, John R. Fisher, Jr.

Patent number: 4412642Abstract: The attachment of leadless chip carriers to printed wiring boards by means of soldering techniques must provide for a spacing between the chip carrier and the board. Such spacing is required for cleaning the area under the chip carrier, protecting the underlying circuitry, and accounting for stresses which may develop due to thermal mismatch between the chip carrier and the board, and to board flexure. Herein disclosed is a lead (15) for semiconductor chip carriers comprising an elongated body of high melting point electrically conductive material, e.g., solder material. Also disclosed is a method for casting such a solder lead, and a method for attaching a plurality of cast solder leads (38) to a leadless chip carrier (20).Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1982Date of Patent: November 1, 1983Assignee: Western Electric Co., Inc.Inventor: John R. Fisher, Jr.
