Patents by Inventor CHRISTOPHER MOURIS ASTEFANOUS

CHRISTOPHER MOURIS ASTEFANOUS 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).

  • Patent number: 11097454
    Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing a part in a mold having a mold cavity including a printhead for depositing a first material within the mold cavity, and an injection head for depositing a second material within the mold cavity. A part can be made in the mold cavity by the cooperative use of both injection molding and additive manufacturing steps.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 10, 2018
    Date of Patent: August 24, 2021
    Assignee: GE AVIATION SYSTEMS LLC

  • Patent number: 10794637
    Abstract: A circular heatsink can include a thermally conductive cylinder with an outer circumferential surface and an inner circumferential surface. An emissive and convective and convective surface area can extend radially from the outer circumferential surface. At least one thermally conductive ledge can extend from the inner circumferential surface and be configured to support a planar substrate having heat-generating electrical components. Air flow over the emissive and convective surface area can cause thermal conduction away from the heat-generating electrical components and through the at least one thermally conductive ledge, the thermally conductive cylinder, and the emissive and convective surface area.

  • Patent number: 10703490
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for heat-dissipation utilizing a fin assembly including one or more fins organized on a wall or base surface. The fins can extend into a flow of fluid passing along the wall or base surface to convectively cool the fins, which can transfer heat from heat-producing components, such as electronics.
