Patent number: 10900137Abstract: A continuous or semi-continuous process for fabricating nanowires or microwires makes use of the substantially planar template that may be moved through electrochemical solution to grow nanowires or microwires on exposed conductive edges on the surface of that template. The planar template allows fabrication of the template using standard equipment and techniques. Adhesive transfer may be used to remove the wires from the template and in one embodiment to draw a continuous wire from the template to be wound around the drum.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: UChicago Argonne, LLCInventors: Anirudha V. Sumant, Michael Zach, Alan David Marten

Patent number: 10599616Abstract: Transparent file processing is supported in Unix-like operating systems by emulating the desired file processing through a number of recipes that accommodate different contexts. Recipes are provided, for example, for local folders in user space, for whole devices (e.g., flash drives or network drives), and for folders synchronized to cloud data. By detecting the path type for a file operation and selecting and applying the appropriate recipe, file processing can be performed in a manner transparent to the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Sophos LimitedInventors: Gregory Hayrapetian, Markus Hein, Martin Huch, Oliver Lorenz, Johann Murauer, Stefan Perndl, Christian Praher-Köppl, Bernhard Traunmüller, Gerald Wintersberger, Michael Zach

Publication number: 20170069937Abstract: A module with a module housing which is at least partly filled with a thermofluid, the thermofluid being designed in particular for an operating temperature range of 200° C. to 400° C. Furthermore, a fluid energy machine is arranged in the module housing or is partly integrated into the module housing, the fluid energy machine having a drive unit and a transporting unit which are coupled to each other in order to transmit a rotational force. The drive unit is fluidically connected to at least one fluid line of an at least partly external fluid circuit such that the drive unit is energized by a fluid flow in the fluid line, and the drive unit does not have other connections for supplying from another external energy source.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2015Publication date: March 9, 2017Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Kühne, Michael Zach

Patent number: 8652615Abstract: A method of fabricating nanowires or microwires employs a robust conductive surface whose edges define electrodes for promoting electrochemical deposition of nanowire material at those edges. Controlled deposition times and thin conductive layers allow extremely small diameter wires to be created and then removed without destruction of the pattern and the wires to be applied to a second substrate or used for composite materials.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2012Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: WISYS Technology FoundationInventor: Michael Zach
