Patent number: 11980954Abstract: A portable machine includes a controller to receive target parameters associated with a workpiece to be worked. A front assembly includes a first baseplate which is stationary during operation, a first actuator to controllably move the workpiece bidirectionally along a longitudinal axis thereof, a second actuator to controllably rotate a second baseplate relative to the first baseplate, and at least one tooling unit. A rear assembly includes a third baseplate with a rolling base, a fourth baseplate rotatably coupled to the third baseplate, and a rear workpiece clamp. Sensors generate signals representing a distance between the first and third baseplates, an orientation of the first baseplate relative to the second baseplate, and an orientation of the third baseplate relative to the fourth baseplate. The controller generates control signals to the tooling unit and the first and second actuators based on at least the target parameters and the sensor signals.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: ABG Design LLCInventors: Miller Caldwell Garrett, Nicholas Keith Anselmo, Taylor Louis Bobrow

Publication number: 20230392833Abstract: Thermal management systems comprising a thermoelectric component, a heat transfer unit, and a controller. The heat transfer unit has a chamber and microfeatures in the chamber that are positioned to receive a working fluid. The controller is configured to operate the thermoelectric component and the heat transfer unit such that the heat transfer unit cools one side of the thermoelectric component to a first temperature and the thermoelectric component changes the temperature of a target material on its other side to a second temperature of +/?60° C. of the first temperature within 0.5-20 seconds.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Reza MONAZAMI, Sahar JAHANI, Nicholas Keith ANSELMO

Patent number: 11768016Abstract: Thermal management systems including a thermoelectric component, a two-phase heat transfer unit, and a controller are disclosed herein. The heat transfer unit has a phase-transition chamber and microfeatures in the phase-transition chamber that induce capillary forces to a working fluid that drives the working fluid through the phase-transition chamber. The controller is configured to operate the thermoelectric component and the heat transfer unit such that the heat transfer unit cools one side of the thermoelectric component to a first temperature and the thermoelectric component changes the temperature of a target material on its other side to a second temperature of +/?60° C. of the first temperature within 0.5-20 seconds.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2020Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: BLUEXTHERMAL, INC.Inventors: Reza Monazami, Sahar Jahani, Nicholas Keith Anselmo

Publication number: 20230210688Abstract: Thermal management devices and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a representative device can comprise (i) thermoelectric components (TECs) each including a first side configured to be operated at a desired temperature and a second side opposite the first side, and (ii) a heat transfer system including an array of fluid distribution networks, an inlet passage coupled to the fluid distribution networks, and an outlet passage coupled to the fluid distribution networks. In operation, a working fluid flows through the fluid distribution networks from the inlet passage to the outlet passage, and absorbs heat from the fluid distribution networks. The inlet and outlet passages can be fluidically coupled to individual fluid distribution networks such that pressure drop and/or temperature drop of the working fluid across the individual fluid distribution networks is about the same as one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: Reza MONAZAMI, Sahar JAHANI, Nicholas Keith ANSELMO
