  • Patent number: 10689773
    Abstract: A method of making property modulated composite materials includes depositing a first layer of material having a first microstructure/nanostructure on a substrate followed by depositing a second layer of material having a second microstructure/nanostructure that differs from the first layer. Multiple first and second layers can be deposited to form a composite material that includes a plurality of adjacent first and second layers. By controlling the microstructure/nanostructure of the layers, the material properties of the composite material formed by this method can be tailored for a specific use. The microstructures/nanostructures of the composite materials may be defined by one or more of grain size, grain boundary geometry, crystal orientation, and a defect density.

  • Patent number: 10411399
    Abstract: The present application discloses an assembly (30, 40) for securing an electrical cable (1) to a body (3) such as the body of an electrical appliance. The assembly comprises a clamping member (30) comprising a pair of spatially separated cable holes (31) dimensioned to receive the electrical cable and a pair of guide channels (33) inwardly extending from opposing edges (34) of the clamping member and a pair of anchoring members (40) for securing the clamping member to the body, each anchoring member comprising a major surface (41) transversely extending from a mounting surface, the major surface having an edge region defining a guide rail (42) for engaging with one of the guide channels and a pair of spatially separated ribs (43, 44) extending from the edge region across said major surface for retaining the clamping member. At least the anchoring members may form an integral part of the body of the electrical appliance.
