  • Patent number: 11519075
    Abstract: A new spray process allows for deposition below a critical velocity limit of cold spray, while providing adhesion. Post deposition heat treatment has shown excellent coating strength. A wide variety of materials can be deposited. The spray process is based on ShockWave Induced Spraying (SWIS) but with much slower spray jet projection velocities. High porosity, pore size control, and porosity control are demonstrated to be controllable. Preheating of feedstock and uniform temperature of the SWIS delivery allow for the deposition below critical velocity.

  • Publication number: 20220175102
    Abstract: A display, securing and transporting device can be used with many types of footwear, including boots, dress shoes, sandals, cleats, high heeled shoes and casual shoes. The device comprises a first elastic body adapted to retainingly and releasably engage a perimeter of a first one of a pair of footwear. The first elastic body defines a toe receiving portion and a heel receiving portion; and a lateral band connects the toe receiving portion and the heel receiving portion. A second elastic body is adapted to retaining and releasably engage a perimeter of a second one of a pair of footwear. The first elastic body and the second elastic body are coaligned and attached to one another at their respective lateral bands. A mounting means is provided on the device to receive a hanger.
