Lisa D. Bowen 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: 10626799
    Abstract: Acoustic structures in which acoustic septa are located in the cells of a honeycomb for reducing the noise generated from a source. The honeycomb used to form the acoustic structure has walls that contain convex and concave contours which make the honeycomb flexible. The acoustic septa are formed by inserting planar acoustic inserts into the honeycomb cells to form a septum cap which is friction-locked within the cell and then permanently bonded in place. The planar acoustic septum is configured to match the unique shape of the cell contours to provide desired friction-locking when inserted into the cells and desired acoustic properties after being permanently bonded in place.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10577117
    Abstract: Acoustic structures in which acoustic septa are located in the angled cells of a honeycomb for reducing the noise generated from a source. The honeycomb used to form the acoustic structure has cell walls that extend at an angle relative to the honeycomb edges such that the depth of the honeycomb cells is greater than the honeycomb core thickness The acoustic septa are formed by inserting planar acoustic inserts into the angled honeycomb cells to form septum caps which are friction-locked within the angled cells and then permanently bonded in place.
