Patents by Inventor Chris Perez

Chris Perez has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20260114512
    Abstract: The described vaping device is an all-in-one system that allows users to inhale vaporized liquid and exhale smoke, which is filtered through activated carbon granules. The device utilizes dual-purpose apertures for both inhalation and exhalation. A small airhole regulates airflow during inhalation, preventing the backflow of exhaled air into the inhalation mouthpiece. The device also features ergonomically distinct mouthpieces for inhalation and exhalation, providing tactile feedback to ensure the user correctly identifies which mouthpiece is in use. Additionally, the design requires users to change the device's position during inhalation and exhalation, further preventing confusion between the two functions.

  • Patent number: 12557651
    Abstract: Provided are high quality metal-nitride, such as aluminum nitride (AlN), films for heat dissipation and heat spreading applications, methods of preparing the same, and deposition of high thermal conductivity heat spreading layers for use in RF devices such as power amplifiers, high electron mobility transistors, etc. Aspects of the inventive concept can be used to enable heterogeneously integrated compound semiconductor on silicon devices or can be used in in non-RF applications as the power densities of these highly scaled microelectronic devices continues to increase.

  • Patent number: 10053916
    Abstract: An earth-boring tool includes a tool body having an aperture therein defining a nozzle port, a nozzle or nozzle assembly disposed in the nozzle port, and a shape memory material disposed adjacent a surface of at least one component of the nozzle or nozzle assembly. The shape memory material retains at least one component of the nozzle or nozzle assembly by a threadless connection. The threadless connection includes mechanical interference between the shape memory material, the at least one component of the nozzle or nozzle assembly, and the tool body or another component of the nozzle or nozzle assembly. The shape memory material is formulated and configured to transform from a first phase and a first shape upon heating and to transform from a second phase and a second shape upon cooling.
