20110250385 | Multifunctional Periodic Cellular Solids and the Method of Making the Same - Methods of making truss-based periodic cellular solids that have improved structural properties and multifunctional design. Many materials (metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, composites and even semiconductors) can be shaped into cellular, truss-like architectures with open, closed or mixed types of porosity and then very uniformly arranged in controlled, three-dimensional space-filling arrays. The truss-like elements do not necessarily have a constant cross-section, nor are they necessarily straight or solid throughout (they could be hollow). Their cross sections can be circular, square, triangular, I-beam or other shapes of interest depending on multifunctional needs. When bonded together by solid state, liquid phase, pressing or other methods at points of contact, a cellular structure of highly repeatable cell geometry and few imperfections results. The bonds hold the truss elements together in a desired configuration, allow load to be efficiently transferred amongst them and make the resulting structure significantly more rigid when bent, compressed or sheared. These constructed cellular solids offer a broad range of multifunctional structural uses with a tremendous freedom for choosing the truss type, orientation and distribution.

20150056406 | ADHESIVE MICROSTRUCTURE - A microstructure made of flexible material includes a plurality of projections extending from a common substrate. A distal end of each projection includes a resilient flap. All lateral dimensions of each of the projections increase monotonically with increased distance from a surface defined by distal ends of the flaps when the flaps are unbent. Each of the projections extends from the common substrate in a general direction that is locally substantially perpendicular to the surface defined by the ends of the flaps. When a shear force is applied to each of the flaps by relative motion between the flap and a cooperating surface in contact with the flap, the flap bends so as to increase the area of contact of that flap with the cooperating surface, affecting adhesion between the microstructure and the cooperating surface. | 02-26-2015 |
