Patent number: 9836667Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and a method for analyzing apparent random pathways, patterns, networks, or a series of events and characterizing these apparent random pathways, patterns, networks, or a series of events by constructal analysis. The resulting statistical values obtained can be used to compare the apparent random pathways, patterns, networks, or a series of events with other apparent random pathways, patterns, networks, or a series of events. The comparison can yield knowledge about the apparent random pathways, patterns, networks, or a series of events as well as the neighborhood or surroundings of the apparent random pathways, patterns, networks, or a series of events.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2013Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC.Inventors: Daniel John Dickrell, III, Wallace Gregory Sawyer, Richard D.

Publication number: 20170252973Abstract: Methods are presented for controlling warpage during heat treatment of a 3DPBJ article having a cavity extending inwardly from an outside surface wherein a 3DPBJ article is 3DPBJ printed from a build powder as is a 3DPBJ object which is adap ted to be contactingly insertable into the cavity of the 3DP BJ article. At least a portion of the 3DPBJ article cavity surface and/or at least a portion of the surface of the 3DPBJ object is treated to prevent the 3DPBJ object from becoming bonded to the 3DPBJ article during the heat treatment. The 3DPBJ object is inserted into the 3DPBJ article cavity and the 3DPBJ article and the 3DPBJ object are heat treated to transform the 3DPBJ article into the intended article itself and the 3DPBJ object into a heat treated 3DPBJ object. The heat treated 3DPBJ object is removed from the article.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2015Publication date: September 7, 2017Inventors: Richard D. Clark, Douglas P. Tuk, Thomas G. Pasterik, Brandon Cary, Thomas Lizzi

Publication number: 20160055264Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for designing an organ for use in a body of a living being comprising identifying a fluid transport demand of an organ; where the fluid transport demand is the amount of fluid used by the organ to sustain itself and to sustain utility in other organs around it; and where the organ comprises a flow system comprising a network of vessels; determining a spatial density of zones of need in the organ based on a density of normal healthy tissues in the organ; identifying a nature of the flow system; and using constructal principle analysis to generate a design of the organ. Disclosed herein too is an organ manufactured by the aforementioned method.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2014Publication date: February 25, 2016Inventors: DAVID L.

Patent number: 5425279Abstract: Petroleum coking drums and other vessels may be inspected to determine if dimensional changes or bulges have occurred in the surface of the vessel by an inspection device including a reflected laser light measuring survey apparatus and a video camera mounted on a frame which may be disposed in selected vertical positions along a central axis of the vessel and rotatably positioned by a rotary positioner interposed between a support stem for the device and the frame. Plural distance measurements and video scans are transmitted to a remote control console for recording and plotting of the contours of bulges or other dimensional anomalies surveyed by the survey apparatus. Components of the device are sealed or gas pressurized to minimize the chance of explosion in hazardous environments such as the interior of a petroleum coking drum. The system is adapted to be supported on the distal end of a coking drum drillstem and centralized by a removable clamp unit mounted on the drum manway flange.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1993Date of Patent: June 20, 1995Assignee: Atlantic Richfield CompanyInventors: Richard D.

Patent number: 5229727Abstract: The transition interconnects microstrip transmission lines whose finite-width conductors are formed on the upper surface and whose ground planes are formed on the under surface of a ceramic substrate. A patternable metallizable multilayer thick film dielectric is applied to the under surface of the ceramic substrate. The transition comprises first and second vias which penetrate the ceramic substrate inside and outside a hermetic enclosure. The upper ends of the vias are connected to the finite-width transmission line conductors, and the lower ends of the vias are interconnected by a finite-width conductor formed on the under surface of the substrate. The lower conductor then forms a transmission line of either a microstrip or coplanar nature with a ground plane available on the underside of the assembly. The thick film dielectric facilitates sealing, and attachment of a metal base plate. All steps are performed using thick film processing.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1992Date of Patent: July 20, 1993Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Richard D. Clark, John A. MacDonald, John A. Windyka, Leonard H. Yorinks, Stephen C. Miller
