  • Publication number: 20250042116
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a fixed assembly and a reciprocating assembly. The fixed assembly includes a hopper, a first gas manifold, and a dispensing chamber, and the reciprocating assembly includes a channel assembly defining a channel conduit, a shield plate vertically aligned therewith, and a second gas manifold. The reciprocating assembly may move, in relation to the fixed assembly, to a first position to enable the channel conduit to be filled with bulk compressible material from the hopper, a second position to enable compressible material to be pushed from the channel conduit to the dispensing conduit and to be compressed in the dispensing chamber according to a first gas directed through the channel conduit by the first gas manifold, and a third position to enable the compressed material to be pushed out of the dispensing conduit according to a second gas directed through the dispensing conduit by the second gas manifold.

  • Publication number: 20160172570
    Abstract: A p-type thermoelectric composite and composite slurries for printing low cost and scalable thermoelectric generator (TEG) devices is presented. The mechanically alloyed Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 p-type composite may be enhanced with a ZT additive and a polymer binder. An additive of 2 wt. % to 10 wt. % Tellurium to the composite increased the Seebeck coefficient by approximately 50%. Epoxy is a suitable polymer binder that provides good adhesion strength with minimal curing shrinkage and high mass loading of active filler particles. Different n-type thermoelectric compositions can be used in conjunction with the p-type compositions. Devices with mechanically alloyed Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 p-type composites doped with 8 wt. % Te on a flexible wired substrate and n-type Bi-epoxy elements were demonstrated. Potential uses of the devices include power sources for ultra low power needs such as wireless sensor network devices, Peltiers, and thermoelectric coolers.
