20100121584Method and apparatus for ultrasonic characterization of scale-dependent bulk material heterogeneities - Methods and apparatuses are provided for detecting and characterizing heterogeneities within a bulk material that exhibit scale-dependent uniformity represented by locally representative volume elements (LRVEs). The invention is particularly useful in the characterization of local variations of crystallographic texture of metals and alloys, including metallurgical Ti alloys. The invention consists of generating ultrasonic waves through different paths in the object, and detecting differences in time, amplitude and/or phase of the detected frequency components traveling the different paths to characterize a statistical mean dimensions of the LRVEs, for example, by autocorrelation. Mean sizes of the LRVEs in the scan directions can be computed by autocorrelation, and mean sizes in the direction of the propagation can also be approximated.05-13-2010

20150290398SHARP EXTRACTOR AND METHOD OF EXTRACTING A SHARP FROM A MEDICAL DEVICE - A sharp extractor has a ram that is actuatable to move from a disengaged position to an engaged position to dislodge a sharp from a medical device, and then return back to the disengaged position. With the medical device secured in axial alignment with the ram, the actuator is actuated to move to its engaged position, whereupon the sharp is detached from the medical device. The dislodged sharp is channeled directly into a medical waste container. Upon removing the sharp from the medical device, the medical device can be treated as standard medical waste, thereby reducing the cost associated with disposal of the medical device. With the volume of the sharp being greatly reduced as a result of removal from the relatively bulky medical device, the frequency of having to dispose the sharps can be greatly reduced, thereby further reducing cost associated with the disposal of the sharps.10-15-2015

20110003084Process of Making Ceria-Based Electrolyte Coating - It has been surprisingly found that injecting ceria-based particles (mean size less than 200 nm) suspended in a combustible organic solvent into a plume having a maximum temperature between about 2,600° C. and 4,000° C. to impart a mean temperature to the particles from about 2,600° C. to about 3,800° C., and to accelerate the particles to a mean velocity between about 600 to 1000 m/s, produces a thin, uniform, dense, crack-free, nanocrystalline ceria-based coating, which may be applied on porous cermet or metal substrate, for example. The physical environment of a high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying gun suitably ably deployed using standard fuels produces these conditions. The method of the present invention is particularly useful for the cost-effective fabrication of ceria-containing electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).01-06-2011
20120202678Thermal spray coating of porous nanostructured ceramic feedstock - By engineering thermal spray parameters, such as temperature and velocity, and engineering feedstock powder size and morphology, ceramic coatings may be produced having desired mechanical and thermal properties. The ceramic thermal spray coating may have a microstructure having about 10-80% by cross-sectional area of a particulate phase based on, surface area of the coating, and the particulate phase is uniformly distributed throughout the coating. The particulate phase is an unmelted portion of the thermal sprayed feedstock, which is highly porous and may be produced by agglomerating nanoparticles of the ceramic. Such coatings can be applied as TBCs or as abradable coatings.08-09-2012
20140329021Method and Apparatus for Depositing Stable Crystalline Phase Coatings of High Temperature Ceramics - Producing high temperature coatings on ceramics using a high enthalpy air plasma spray torch and supplying in at least 3 passes to deposit the coating is advantageous for spraying high temperature ceramics while avoiding formation of undesirable phases, if the stand off distance is chosen such that a width of a bead produced from a single spray pass on the substrate at ˜800° C. is less than 70% of a diameter of a plume of the torch at the stand off, and neither assisted heating, nor forced cooling, nor subsequent heat treatment is used. The rapid cooling endemic to thermal spray that leads to amorphous, metastable and other undesirable phases of alkaline earth aluminosilicate (e.g., barium-strontium aluminosilicate (BSAS)), rare earth silicates (RESs), mullite, etc. can be mitigated sufficiently by the close stand off and high enthalpy torch to provide highly crystalline and stable phase coatings.11-06-2014
