Patents by Inventor Jennifer Lynne Stikeleather Peavey

Jennifer Lynne Stikeleather Peavey 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: 9064994
    Abstract: Self-corrugating laminates useful in the manufacture of thermoelectric devices are disclosed. The laminates include an upper and a lower shrinkable film layer and a non-shrinkable core with a thermoelectric pattern formed thereon bonded between said upper and lower shrinkable film along bond lines arranged parallel, substantially parallel, radially, or annularly. The bond lines that bond the upper shrinkable film layer to top surface of the nonshrinkable core are staggered relative to the bond lines that bond the lower shrinkable film layer to the bottom surface of the non-shrinkable core such that upon shrinkage of the shrinkable film layers, structural corrugations are formed in the non-shrinkable core. Thermoelectric modules or devices and methods for forming them from the self-corrugating laminates are also described.

  • Publication number: 20140087146
    Abstract: Self-corrugating laminates are disclosed that include first and second non-shrinkable core layers bonded together in a grid of spaced bond points arranged substantially linearly along perpendicular horizontal and vertical bond point lines; and upper and lower shrinkable film layers, each having a primary axis of shrinkage and each bonded to one of the non-shrinkable core layers along bond lines that are substantially perpendicular to the primary axis of shrinkage of the immediately adjacent shrinkable film layer. Upon shrinkage of the upper and lower shrinkable film layers a corrugated structure is formed that includes first and second core layers each having spaced structural corrugations formed therein.

  • Publication number: 20140087145
    Abstract: A self-corrugating laminate is disclosed. The self-corrugating laminate includes an upper and a lower shrinkable film layer each having at least one axis of shrinkage and a non-shrinkable core bonded between the upper and lower shrinkable film layers along bond lines. The bond lines that bond the upper shrinkable film layer to the non-shrinkable core are staggered relative to the bond lines that bond the lower shrinkable film layer to the non-shrinkable core such that upon shrinkage of the shrinkable film layers, structural corrugations are formed in the non-shrinkable core. The shrinkable film layers of the invention exhibit a percent shrinkage along an axis of shrinkage from about 10 to about 45 percent.

  • Publication number: 20140087147
    Abstract: Self-corrugating laminates are disclosed that include first and second shrinkable film layers, each having a primary axis of shrinkage, bonded together in a grid of spaced bond points arranged substantially linearly along perpendicular horizontal and vertical bond lines such that the axes of shrinkage are substantially perpendicular to one another. Upon shrinkage of the shrinkable film layers, a structural corrugate is formed that includes first and second corrugated layers each with structural corrugations therein arranged along lines of corrugation. At the interface of the two corrugated layers, the lines of corrugation in the first corrugated layer are substantially perpendicular to the lines of corrugation in the second corrugated layer.
