20100297432 | ARTICLE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING RELATED TO NANOCOMPOSITE OVERLAYS - Composite layers are formed on substrates, particularly heat sensitive substrates. A uniform composite mixture is prepared from powdered nanoscale ceramic phase particulates and a particulate matrix phase precursor that contains a fusible matrix former. The composite mixture is applied to the substrate surface where it forms a composite mixture layer that is thin relative to the substrate. The composite mixture layer is subjected to a rapid high flux heating pulse of energy to fluidize the fusible matrix former, followed by a rapid quenching step that occurs at least in part because of heat transfer to the substrate, but without significantly damaging the overall temper properties of the substrate. The nanoscale ceramic phase is present in the composite layer in an amount that is greater than its percolation threshold, so the resulting fused composite layer does not tend to flow or sag while the matrix former is in the fluid state. Also, the grain size of the matrix is minimized by the presence of the nanoscale ceramic phase. | 11-25-2010 |
20130098203 | SYNTACTIC METAL MATRIX MATERIALS AND METHODS - A syntactic metal foam composite that is substantially fully dense except for syntactic porosity is formed from a mixture of ceramic microballoons and matrix forming metal. The ceramic microballoons have a uniaxial crush strength and a much higher omniaxial crush strength. The mixture is continuously constrained while it is consolidated. The constraining force is less than the omniaxial crush strength. The substantially fully dense syntactic metal foam composite is then constrained and deformation worked at a substantially constant volume. The deformation working is typically performed at a yield strength that is adjusted by way of selecting a working temperature at which the yield strength is approximately less than the omniaxial crush strength of the included ceramic microballoons. This deformation causes at least work hardening and grain refinement in the matrix metal. | 04-25-2013 |

20110046638 | METHOD OF EXFOLIATION OF SKIN USING CLOSELY-PACKED MICROSTRUCTURES - An improved method and apparatus is provided as a system to enhance skin appearance and health, in which skin is cleaned (or exfoliated) and conditioned by use of microelements affixed to a base element or hand-held patch. The dimensions of the microelements are controlled so as to remove a certain number of layers of skin cells and to accumulate those skin cells, along with other foreign substances, into areas between the microelements. In addition, a conditioning compound or therapeutic active can be applied to the exfoliated skin to enhance the skin. Moreover, the amount of accumulated skin cells represents a self-limiting maximum quantity that cannot be substantially exceeded regardless of the number of attempts by a user to re-use the microstructure apparatus. Some of the microstructures are designed with very close-packed microelements, which in some cases have flexible substrates. | 02-24-2011 |
