Patent number: 11999005Abstract: A multiple spot vaporizing foil actuator weld (VFAW) system includes a target sheet layer secured relative to a stabilizing component, such that standoff components may be arranged sandwichably between the target and a flier sheet layer. An electrically insulating layer separates the flier from a vaporizing component sheet layer, which may comprise at least two vaporizing subsections configured to have less conductive material than at least three dividing subsections that separate the vaporizing subsections. The geometry and/or other features of the vaporizing subsections may be varied to optimize the vaporization. A second electrically insulated stabilizing component may sandwichably secure the above components between the first stabilizing component in order to control the forces generated in the VFAW process. The method involves loading the vaporizable component sheet layer with electrons via applied voltage such that the vaporizing subsections sublimate.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2021Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignees: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD, OHIO STATE INNOVATION FOUNDATIONInventors: Timothy A.

Publication number: 20210137320Abstract: A system and method for increasing the volume for showers bounded by shower curtains and/or shower curtain liners. This system uses a curved outward shower curtain liner device. This device generally comprises a foldable body, comprising a flexible, water impermeable, material configured with the body left sides and body right sides capable of reversibly folding and unfolding from a first shorter folded width to a second longer unfolded width. The shower curtain liner body further comprises a plurality of rigid or semi-rigid supports disposed from top to bottom. At least some of these supports are configured to be capable of assuming a curved state. In this curved state, portions of the support in between the support top and bottom assume a curvature with a displacement of at least six inches, thus causing the shower curtain liner to take a curved state, effectively increasing the volume of the shower.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2021Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventor: Glenn Steven Gross
