Patent number: 8500870Abstract: Methods of producing corrosion-inhibiting aluminum foil products suitable for culinary use involve metallurgical sequestration of aluminum radicals by applying a copper-containing barrier metal layer to a substrate aluminum foil, followed by application of a biocompatible, lipid-based sealant layer to seal any gaps in the barrier layer and provide a non-stick coating. The sealant, which has a vegetable cooking oil, or oil mixture, as its primary ingredient, may also function as a natural antimicrobial and/or anti-fungal agent. Various sealant additives may increase the thermal stability of the oil base, enhance the antimicrobial properties thereof, and increase shelf life. Aluminum foil products include a coated aluminum foil with a copper-containing barrier layer applied to an aluminum substrate layer, with a sealant layer applied to the barrier layer. The coated foil may be wound in a coil around a hollow tube which contains a desiccant.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2010Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Inventor: Marc S. Werblud

Patent number: 8336457Abstract: Applicants have discovered that electrostatic discharge (ESD) may, in some circumstances, result in current densities sufficient to ignite unprotected reactive composite materials. They have further discovered that a reactive composite material (RCM) can be protected from ESD ignition without adversely affecting the desirable properties of the RCM by the application of conducting and/or insulating materials at appropriate locations on the RCM. Thus ESD-protected RCM structures can be designed for such sensitive applications as ignition of propellants, generation of light bursts, and structural materials for equipment that may require controlled self-destruction.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2006Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Nanofoil CorporationInventors: Timothy P. Weihs, Etienne Besnoin, Ramzi Vincent, Somasundaram Valliappan, Ellen Heian, David Van Heerden, Timothy Ryan Rude, Omar Knio, Ronald Spraker, Yuping Lin

Publication number: 20120136420Abstract: A medical probe is provided that has a single longitudinally uniform interconnect that provides a connection between a distal end and a proximal end of the probe. The interconnect is obtained by forming a thin uniform film as a spiral on a wafer and subsequently applying this spiral as a helix on a base element of a medical probe. The thin film spiral is manufactured with multiple connecting wires to enable connection between an electronics module and a multiplicity of electrodes (an electrode array) at the distal end of the medical probe.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2011Publication date: May 31, 2012Applicant: SAPIENS STEERING BRAIN STIMULATION B.V.Inventors: Michel Gerardus Pardoel, Michel Marcel Decré

Patent number: 7712198Abstract: A microneedle array device and its fabrication method are provided. The microneedle array device comprises a supporting pad and a plurality of microneedles. Each microneedle has a top portion with a via thereon, thereby the microfluid may flow in or out. The intersection between the top portion and the inner tube of a microneedle forms a convex needle structure, and is almost perpendicular to the upper surface. For each microneedle, a hollow closed tube is formed between the top portion and the supporting pad. The fabrication method uses substrates with high transmittance and a plurality of convex area thereon as upper and lower caps, and applies a photolithography process to fabricate a microneedle array mold. It then sputters or electroplates metal material on the mold. The microneedle array is formed after having taken off the mold.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2007Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Shih-Chi Kuo, Yu-Kon Chou

Publication number: 20080135284Abstract: Disclosed is a flexible foil including a thin and flexible foil that isolates electromagnetic waves. The foil has a smooth surface and an opposite surface on which a plurality of three-dimensional raised projections is formed and consecutively lined up. A slicing-facilitated, flexible thinned layer is formed between adjacent ones of the projections. The foil can be deflected to enclose an electronic device that generates electromagnetic waves with the projections facing the electronic device so that the electromagnetic waves are confined inside the enclosure formed by the foil and dispersed and dissipated by reflection and diffraction in multiple angles caused by the projections so as to prevent leakage of electromagnetic waves and to protect electronic components close to the electromagnetic wave generating device from interference by the electromagnetic waves.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2006Publication date: June 12, 2008Inventor: CHAO-JEN WANG

Patent number: 7222422Abstract: A process for refurbishing a worn surface of a shroud support component of a turbomachine, as well as a shroud support component refurbished with the process. The process generally entails removing a surface region of the worn surface so as to define a repair surface on the component. A braze tape formed from a slurry to comprise a braze material and a wear-resistant alloy is then applied to the repair surface, followed by a heat treatment to cause the braze tape to diffusion bond to the repair surface so as to define a built-up surface. The built-up surface is then machined to define a wear-resistant coating on the component.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2004Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Bhupendra Kumar Gupta, Edward John Emilianowicz, Thomas J.
