Patent number: 12137539Abstract: An electronic device heat dissipation system with a sugar alcohol PCM energy storage unit includes a cooling circulation pipeline, a heat dissipation cold plate, an energy storage heat exchanger, a crystal powder feeder, and a radiator. Fluid in the cooling circulation pipeline flows sequentially through the heat dissipation cold plate and the energy storage heat exchanger, and the fluid flowing out of the energy storage heat exchanger can optionally pass through the radiator. The energy storage heat exchanger is filled with a sugar alcohol PCM as an energy storage medium, the energy storage medium can absorb heat, melt, solidify and regenerate, and the crystal powder feeder input crystal powder of the energy storage medium to improve a solidification and regeneration speed of the energy storage medium. Heat storage capacity of the sugar alcohol PCM is used, combined with the radiator and the heat dissipation cold plate to achieve temperature control.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2024Date of Patent: November 5, 2024Assignee: Beihang UniversityInventors: Yuming Xing, Jianbao Yin, Xu Hou, Yuliang Gao

Patent number: 11413584Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a functional fluid gating control system, which comprises a porous membrane and a functional fluid. The functional fluid at least partially infiltrates the porous membrane and cooperates to form a fluid gating pathway. The functional fluid and/or the porous membrane responds to at least one stimulus and undergoes a physical change or a chemical change to change the threshold pressure of the transport substance. A transport fluid being immiscible with the functional fluid is controlled to pass through the fluid gating system, and thus controllable transport and multiphase separation of materials are achieved. The stimulus of the present disclosure comprises a wide range of sources, and the stimulus responsiveness of the functional fluid and the porous membrane can be randomly and freely combined to adapt to multiple stimuli from complex external conditions and achieve intelligent controllability.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Xiamen UniversityInventors: Xu Hou, Zhizhi Sheng, Lizhi Huang, Lingli Min, Miao Wang, Yinglin Zhu, Feng Wu

Patent number: 10330218Abstract: A gating mechanism that uses a capillary stabilized liquid as a reversible, reconfigurable gate that fills and seals pores in the closed state, and creates a non-fouling, liquid-lined pore in the open state is disclosed. Theoretical modeling and experiments demonstrate that for each transport substance, the gating threshold—the pressure needed to open the pores—can be rationally tuned over a wide pressure range. This enables realizing in one system differential response profiles for a variety of liquids and gases, even letting liquids flow through the pore while preventing gas from escaping. These capabilities allow dynamic modulation of gas-liquid sorting and to separate multi-phase mixtures, with the liquid lining ensuring sustained antifouling behavior.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: President and Fellows of Harvard CollegeInventors: Joanna Aizenberg, Xu Hou, Mughees Khan, Alexander Tesler
