  • Aerial refueling hose
    Patent number: 9631744
    Abstract: An in-flight refueling hose and method. The hose includes an inner braid including pseudoelastic shape memory alloy (e.g., nitinol) wires. These wires undergo a stress induced phase change absorbing energy to dampen oscillations of the hose in use.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 6, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 25, 2017
    Assignee: Mide Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Attila Jozsef Lengyel, Marthinus Cornelius van Schoor, Jeffrey Richard Court
  • ROBUST PIEZOELECTRIC FLUID MOVING DEVICES AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20160027989
    Abstract: A method of making a piezoelectric fluid moving device, (e.g., a fan or synthetic jet actuator) includes forming at least a first electrode on a base substrate and disposing a spacer frame about the first electrode. A piezoelectric substrate is placed within the frame and over the first electrode. A cover substrate is located on the spacer frame. The cover substrate and spacer frame are laminated to each other and to the base substrate encapsulating the piezoelectric substrate between the cover substrate and the base substrate for a long life device.
