  • Method of joining graphite fibers to a substrate
    Patent number: 8646677
    Abstract: A method of assembling a metallic-graphite structure includes forming a wetted graphite subassembly by arranging one or more layers of graphite fiber material including a plurality of graphite fibers and applying a layer of metallization material to ends of the plurality of graphite fibers. At least one metallic substrate is secured to the wetted graphite subassembly via the layer of metallization material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 27, 2012
    Date of Patent: February 11, 2014
    Assignee: Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems International, Inc.
    Inventors: Durwood M. Beringer, Mark E. Caron, Edmund P. Taddey, Brian P. Gleason
  • Method for restoring antimicrobial hydrophilic coatings
    Patent number: 8623453
    Abstract: A method for restoring a silver oxide-containing hydrophilic coating includes heating the coating to a temperature between about 260° C. and about 540° C. and maintaining the coating at a temperature between about 260° C. and about 540° C. in an environment containing oxygen and ozone for less than 24 hours.
