Patents by Inventor Michael A. D'Onofrio

Michael A. D'Onofrio 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: 9686887
    Abstract: The present disclosure further contemplates a system and method that cools metal core printed circuit boards by circulating a liquid coolant so that it contacts the base metal of the metal core printed circuit board. In one example the present disclosure contemplates a direct liquid cooled MCPCB system that may include a liquid cavity creating component coupled to the base plate of a MCPCB allowing a liquid coolant to come into contact with the base plate of the MCPCB for cooling of the MCPCB. The direct liquid cooled MCPCB system may minimize thermal bottlenecks between the electrical components and the cooling fluid while reducing the number of components required in previous liquid cooled electronics systems.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5154219
    Abstract: The spray casting of metal wherein an atomized spray of metal droplets is caused to be deposited upon a moving metallic foil substrate. The metallic foil substrate is maintained under tension as it passes in a position to receive the deposit such that thermal distortion is eliminated without causing tensile failure. In the second embodiment, the leading edge of the spray is positioned such that it does not contact the foil whereby the low mass density thereof does not contribute to deposit helping to eliminate bottom porosity.

  • Patent number: 5143140
    Abstract: The apparatus and method for spray casting a spray of molten metal on a moving substrate. The leading edge of the spray pattern is deflected away from or into the spray pattern to eliminate the cooler and less dense particles of the leading edge from contacting the substrate. The deflector preferably has a surface of non-wetting material to prevent the build up of material thereon.
