  • Patent number: 11286368
    Abstract: The disclosed retroreflective element includes a polymeric core that is loaded with a plurality of first beads and second beads distributed at the perimeter of the core. The first beads are different than the second beads. Because of the beads in the core, the retroreflective element remains useful for returning light even after portions of the core begins to wear away. Further, when the retroreflective elements get wet, water will settle to the bottom of the perimeter of the core. Therefore, using the second beads with a refractive index suited for wet conditions, while the first beads have a refractive index suited for dry conditions allows the retroreflective element to be useful in both wet and dry conditions even while the retroreflective element wears during use.

  • Patent number: 11287079
    Abstract: A self-healing vacuum insulation panel and a method of manufacture are provided. The vacuum insulation panel includes a self-healing, multi-layer barrier film including a separator between a curing agent and a curable resin. Upon damage to the separator, the curing agent penetrates the separator due to a pressure differential across the barrier film and reacts with the curable resin to seal any cuts or punctures. The curing agent and the curable resin can be selected to have long term stability and a short reaction time with no need for external stimuli. As a result, the multi-layer barrier film can retain the internal vacuum and maintain a desirably low thermal conductivity using low-cost, commercially available epoxies and curing agents.

  • Patent number: 11270839
    Abstract: A method of increasing coercivity of an Nd—Fe—B sintered permanent magnet includes a step of providing an organic film. A powder, containing at least one heavy rare earth elements, is uniformly deposited on the organic film forming a diffusion source. Then, a sintered Nd—Fe—B magnet block having a pair of block surfaces extending perpendicular to a magnetization direction is provided. Next, the diffusion source is deposited on at least one of the block surfaces with the powder being in abutment relationship with at least one of the block surfaces. After depositing the diffusion source, the sintered Nd—Fe—B magnet block containing the diffusion source is pressed allowing the powder of the diffusion source to be in close contact with the block surface. The diffusion source is then diffused into the sintered Nd—Fe—B magnet block to produce a diffused magnet block. Next, the diffused magnet block is aged.

The metal oxide nanostructures can be 1-dimensional nanostructures such as nanowires, nanofibers, or nanotubes. The metal oxide nanostructures can be doped or un-doped metal oxides. The metal oxide nanostructures can be deposited onto a variety of substrates. The deposition can be performed without high pressures and without the need for seed catalysts on the substrate. The deposition can be performed by laser ablation of a target including a metal oxide and, optionally, a dopant. In some embodiments zinc oxide nanostructures are deposited onto a substrate by pulsed laser deposition of a zinc oxide target using an excimer laser emitting UV radiation. The zinc oxide nanostructure can be doped with a rare earth metal such as gadolinium. The metal oxide nanostructures can be used in many devices including light-emitting diodes and solar cells.
