Publication number: 20240125421Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter generally relates to recyclable insulation material for shipping containers, groceries bags, etc., machines for making the recyclable insulation material, and methods for the making the recyclable insulation material. In one aspect, a method of forming an insulation product may include forming a continuous sheet of paper into a plurality of flexible loops defining a plurality of air channels extending in a direction that is substantially perpendicular with a machine direction of the continuous sheet of paper. The method may also include immediately attaching a first layer of paper and a second layer of paper to the plurality of flexible loops as they are formed so that the continuous sheet of paper retains the plurality of flexible loops between the first layer and the second layer and that the plurality of flexible loops remain unattached with respect to one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: James McGoff, Alex Dimen, Daniel Shores, Caleb Meindertsma, Justin Turner-Gonzalez, Charles-Alexandre Archambault Vincent

Patent number: 9711697Abstract: According to one aspect, the present invention concerns a terahertz modulator (1) intended to be used in a given frequency band of use. The modulator comprises a semi-conductor polar crystal (330) presenting a Reststrahlen band overlapping said frequency band of use and presenting at least one interface with a dielectric medium, coupling means (330) allowing the resanant coupling of an interface phonon polariton (IPhP) supported by said interface and of an incident radiation (2) of pre-determined frequency lying in said frequency band of use and means of control (22) apt to modify the intensity of the coupling between said interface phonon polariton and said incident radiation (2) by modification of the dielectric function of the polar crystal in the Reststrahlen band of the polar crystal (10).Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2012Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique—CNRSInventors: Simon Vassant, Fabrice Pardo, Jean-Luc Pelouard, Jean-Jacques Greffet, Alexandre Archambault, François Marquier
