Patents by Inventor Tai-Yun Huang

Tai-Yun Huang has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Acoustic panel with vapor chambers
    Patent number: 11231234
    Abstract: An acoustic unit includes an acoustically septumized cell, and a vapor chamber attached across the cell. The vapor chamber is configured to employ vapor-liquid phase changing to help move heat past the cell.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 26, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 25, 2022
    Assignee: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.

  • Acoustic panel with acoustic unit layer
    Patent number: 11227573
    Abstract: An acoustic panel includes a plurality of acoustic units. Each acoustic unit includes a subwavelength cell, an acoustic septum attached across the cell and an acoustic backing attached across the cell behind the acoustic septum. The acoustic units have uniform constructions with the exception of varying cross-sectional dimensions, and varying peak absorption frequencies based on the varying cross-sectional dimensions. In relation to the peak absorption frequency for each acoustic unit, the acoustic septum is a vibratory membrane and the acoustic backing is an anti-vibration back plate, and the acoustic unit is acoustic impedance matched, whereby the acoustic unit is configured to substantially non-propagatively absorb frontal acoustic excitation at the peak absorption frequency using the acoustic septum and the acoustic backing.
