  • Patent number: 11948190
    Abstract: Data account management systems and methods are described. A server is in communication with one or more information source systems, at least one user device associated with at least one user and one or more electronic data accounts associated with the user. The server links the electronic data accounts, monitors data among the information source systems and the linked accounts for any changes in activity associated with the user, predicts a behavioral activity of the user via machine learning based on at least one of the monitored data and historical data associated with the user, identifies at least one notification instruction specific to the user based on the predicted behavioral activity, and generates an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for display on the user device. The interactive GUI presents one or more of the notification instruction and a user profile of the at least one user among the linked accounts.

  • Patent number: 11872628
    Abstract: A structured three-phase composite which include a metal phase, a ceramic phase, and a gas phase that are arranged to create a composite having low thermal conductivity, having controlled stiffness, and a CTE to reduce thermal stresses in the composite when exposed to cyclic thermal loads. The structured three-phase composite is useful for use in structures such as, but not limited to, heat shields, cryotanks, high speed engine ducts, exhaust-impinged structures, and high speed and reentry aeroshells.

  • Publication number: 20230357911
    Abstract: A castable, moldable, or extrudable magnesium-based alloy that includes one or more insoluble additives. The insoluble additives can be used to enhance the mechanical properties of the structure, such as ductility and/or tensile strength. The final structure can be enhanced by heat treatment, as well as deformation processing such as extrusion, forging, or rolling, to further improve the strength of the final structure as compared to the non-enhanced structure. The magnesium-based composite has improved thermal and mechanical properties by the modification of grain boundary properties through the addition of insoluble nanoparticles to the magnesium alloys. The magnesium-based composite can have a thermal conductivity that is greater than 180 W/m-K, and/or ductility exceeding 15-20% elongation to failure.

  • Patent number: 11530170
    Abstract: A high strength engineered reactive matrix composite that includes a core material and a reactive binder matrix combined in high volumes and with controlled spacing and distribution to produce both high strength and controlled reactivity. The engineered reactive matrix composite includes a repeating metal, ceramic, or composite particle core material and a reactive binder/matrix, and wherein the reactive/matrix binder is distributed relatively homogeneously around the core particles, and wherein the reactivity of the reactive binder/matrix is engineered by controlling the relative chemistry and interfacial surface area of the reactive components. These reactive materials are useful for oil and gas completions and well stimulation processes, enhanced oil and gas recovery operations, as well as in defensive and mining applications requiring high energy density and good mechanical properties.

  • Publication number: 20220373269
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to materials that can be used in a heat storage and transfer, and an improved method for storing thermal energy which includes a high heat capacity thermal energy storage system using pumped or flowing metallic phase change materials (MPCs). Heat is added by pumping a cold fluid of MPCs mixed with a fluid media such as a molten glass and/or salt from a tank through a heat exchanger, solar receiver, or electrical heater cell and returning the heated fluid to a tank, or solid MPCs can be transported physically, or via gas transport such as entrained flow or a circulating fluid bed. In the heat exchanger, heat can optionally be transferred directly to a counterflowing gas or other fluid, or indirectly through heat exchanger walls to a working fluid, which can be steam, CO2 or sCO2, He, H2, process gas, and/or heat transfer fluid.
