Patent number: 11930565Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus for curing composites out-of-autoclave and out-of-oven. The apparatus is a multilayered composite tool for shaping and curing composites. It also contains a sealant layer and composite resistive heating element on the tool's surface. This heating element provides heat to the composites during cure while binding it to the other layers, eliminating the need for external heat from autoclave and oven sources. A ceramic layer is applied to the top surface of the resistive heater for electrical insulation, heater protection and to provide a smooth surface for finish for the composite components being processed with the invention. A method for using the invention is also described. Finally, one embodiment of the invention is presented where a negative composite tool is created to apply additional pressure to the composite component during curing. This additional pressure enables the current invention to more closely mimic autoclave composite processing.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Mainstream Engineering CorporationInventors: Anna P. Skinner, Kayla S. O'Neill, Rachna C. Igwe, Philip Cox, Justin J. Hill

Photocatalytic load reduction to extend reactive media filtration life in an air purification system
Patent number: 11524090Abstract: A process for using photocatalytic load reduction to extend reactive media filtration life is disclosed for an air purification system. The system consists of three methods of cleaning the air including a UV light, a photocatalyst, and an air purifier. Air first passes through a portion with the UV light and photocatalyst, and then through the purifier. Passing the air first through the UV light and photo catalyst before the purifier reduces the load on the purifier and thus allowing the purifier to operate and clean the air for an extended period of time as compared to the purifier alone.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2021Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: Mainstream Engineering CorporationInventors: Andrew L. Wagner, Philip Cox -
Publication number: 20220311200Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described. A system may include an optically transmissive substrate having a protective coating on a first surface and a blocking coating on a second surface that is opposite the first surface. The protective coating is configured to protect the optically transmissive substrate from at least ultraviolet laser energy, and the blocking coating has a first thickness that is less than about 280 nanometers and is adhered to a subset of the second surface. The system further includes a capping layer covering the blocking coating that is on the subset of the second surface and having a second thickness less than the first thickness of the blocking coating. Additionally, the system includes a sealing component positioned between the capping layer and a structure configured to support the optically transmissive substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: Gerald Philip Cox, Thomas Edward Gebo
