Publication number: 20150138692Abstract: Disclosed is a method of coating a structured surface comprising the steps of providing nanoparticles of a first coating material, and depositing the nanoparticles onto a structured surface using electrophoretic deposition. The structured surface may comprise one or more carbon nanotubes which maybe an array. The coating material may be a dielectric material such as barium titanate which may have a particle size of approximately 20 nm diameter. Following the deposition step a second coating may be provided. The second coating may be hafnium oxide. Also disclosed is a capacitor comprising a first electrode of a structured material, a second electrode of conducting material, and a dielectric layer formed between the first and second electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2013Publication date: May 21, 2015Applicant: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Gehan Anjil Joseph Amaratunga, Youngjin Choi, Sai Giridhar Shivareddy, Nathan Charles Brown, Charles Anthony Neild Collis

Publication number: 20150091134Abstract: A method of depositing a material on a substrate using an atomic layer deposition process, wherein the deposition process comprises a first deposition step, a second deposition step subsequent to the first deposition step, and a delay of at least one minute between the first deposition step and the second deposition step. Each deposition step comprises a plurality of deposition cycles. The delay is introduced to the deposition process by prolonging a period of time for which a purge gas is supplied to a process chamber housing the substrate at the end of a selected one of the deposition cycles.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2013Publication date: April 2, 2015Applicant: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Gehan Anjil Joseph Amaratunga, Youngjin Choi, Sai Giridhar Shivareddy, Nathan Charles Brown, Charles Anthony Neild Collis

Publication number: 20100006122Abstract: An electrolytic cell includes an electrode in a chamber including an electrolyte and an electrical power supply arranged to supply electrical energy to the electrode. A current sensor detects electrical current in the cell. A reservoir of a metal salt solution is provided. A controller is arranged to supply metal salt solution from the reservoir to the chamber of the cell in dependence on the current detected at the sensor. This permits the conductivity of the electrolyte to be brought up to required levels quickly, independently of dynamic cell conditions. Previously, metal salt was added gradually to the electrolyte. This was time-consuming and produced inconsistent results.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2007Publication date: January 14, 2010Inventors: Nathan Charles Brown, Chaoying Fang

Publication number: 20090272654Abstract: An electrolytic cell generates hydrogen peroxide and includes a reservoir for storing hydrogen peroxide generated by the cell. A controller is arranged to activate the cell and introduce stored hydrogen peroxide from the reservoir to the cell. This permits the concentration of a store of hydrogen peroxide to be refreshed as required, by introducing the stored hydrogen peroxide as the electrolyte in the cell. This counteracts the natural decay of the stored hydrogen peroxide. The pH of the hydrogen peroxide is controlled so that it is below a predetermined value. It has been found that hydrogen peroxide having a low pH, close to neutral, decays much more slowly than hydrogen peroxide having a more strongly alkaline pH.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2007Publication date: November 5, 2009Applicant: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Nathan Charles Brown, Chaoying Fang

Publication number: 20090212132Abstract: A spray dispenser comprises a housing and a nozzle. The housing contains a reservoir for storing liquid, an electrolytic cell for receiving liquid from the reservoir and increasing the level of oxidative properties in the liquid, and a pump for circulating fluid between the reservoir and the electrolytic cell so that liquid having enhanced oxidative properties in dispensed from the nozzle. In the preferred embodiment, the electrolytic cell generates hydrogen peroxide from water introduced to the reservoir by the user so that a sterilising solution of hydrogen peroxide is dispensed from the nozzle.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2009Publication date: August 27, 2009Applicant: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Kevin John Simmonds, Matthew Cookson, Damian Henri Lee, Nathan Charles Brown

Publication number: 20090165823Abstract: An electrolytic cell for producing hydrogen peroxide includes an anode, a cathode and an intermediate membrane. The anode is associated with a first electrolyte and the cathode is associated with a second electrolyte. The use of two electrolytes associated with the respective electrodes permits the user to select the most suitable salt solutions for each electrode and so avoid production of gases and by-products unsuitable for a domestic environment. Thus, the electrolytic cell is suitable for use in an automatic dishwasher.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2007Publication date: July 2, 2009Applicant: DYSON TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: Nathan Charles Brown, Chaoying Fang

Publication number: 20080317448Abstract: A drying apparatus includes an outer case, a portion of the outer case defining a cavity in which articles can be dried, an outlet disposed at the lower end of the cavity and a filter unit arranged downstream of the outlet, wherein the filter unit includes a particulate filter and a sterilising filter. By providing this filter unit including both a particulate filter and a sterilising filter, solid matter and bacteria can be removed from the waste liquid. This results in a hygienic and sanitary waste liquid output from the filter unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2006Publication date: December 25, 2008Applicant: Dyson Technology LimitedInventors: Nathan Charles Brown, Toby James Saville
