Patent number: 11747088Abstract: A compact heat exchanger is provided, in which multiple streams can flow within the same layer or layers, and different fluids may flow in alternating channels within the same layer as well as flowing in alternating layers. Having fluids in alternating channels—as compared to only alternating layers within the same layer—increases the direct surface area between the fluids (the primary surface area) for heat transfer, thereby increasing the rate and efficiency of heat transfer. Methods of making and using the heat exchanger are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: CompRex, LLCInventors: Hani Ahmed Gadalla, Zhijun Jia, Thomas Justin Parlow

Patent number: 11378746Abstract: A method for performing an operation on an input signal includes receiving, by a multi-mode waveguide, the input signal imposed on laser light. The received input signal imposed on the laser light is propagated through the waveguide a plurality of times in a plurality of modes, the modes interfering each time they propagate through the waveguide to generate an interference pattern of the plurality of modes. Portions of the interference pattern of the plurality of modes are nonlinearly activated each time those modes propagate through the multi-mode waveguide. Portions of the activated interference pattern of the plurality of modes are output to an optical detector array in parallel with one another each time those modes propagate through the multi-mode waveguide.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: THE AEROSPACE CORPORATIONInventors: Uttam Paudel, George C.
