US Patent:

20040129074, Jul 8, 2004

Filed:

Jan 3, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/336488

Inventors:

Paul Rudewicz - Mission Viejo CA, US
Michael Vasquez - Canyon Lake CA, US

International Classification:

G01F023/00

US Classification:

073/295000, 073/30400R

Abstract:

A sensor capable of operating in ambient temperatures that are either above or below operating systems specification. comprises a transducer adapted to be coupled to a power supply for generating signals corresponding to and representative of the status of the targeted system. Signal conditioning means are coupled to the transducer and are responsive to generated signals. The signal conditioning means produces status signals in a format that is compatible with an information utilization device. A thermo electric module is attached to the signal conditioning means for changing the temperature of the signal conditioning means. In an alternative embodiment, the thermo electric module is connected to control the environment in which the signal conditioning means operate. The signal conditioning means are then able to operate in ambient temperatures that are outside of the normal operating parameters to which the to which the signal conditioning means were originally designed.

Abstract:

A three-dimensional object comprises stacked substrate layers infiltrated by a hardened material. Each substrate layer is a sheet-like structure that comprises fibers held together by a sodium silicate binder. The substrate layer material may be non-woven or woven. The substrate layer may be a non-woven fiber veil bound by a sodium silicate binder. The fibers may optionally include carbon fibers, ceramic fibers, polymer fibers, glass fibers, metal fibers, or a combination thereof.

International Classification:

B29C 64/165
B29C 64/295
B29C 64/245

Abstract:

A three-dimensional object comprises stacked substrate layers infiltrated by a hardened material comprising engineered powder that is transformed into a substance that flows and subsequently hardens into the hardened material in a spatial pattern that infiltrates positive regions, and does not infiltrate negative regions, in the substrate layers. The powder may be emulsion aggregation powder, chemically-produced toner powder, or a combination. It may be a thermoplastic or thermosettable polymer and may include nylon, elastomers, polyolefins, polyethylene, polyether ether ketone, polyimide, polyetherimide, polyphenylene sulfide, polystyrene, polypropylene, polymethyl methacrylate, and polyaryletherketone, or a combination. The powder particles may have a pre-specified controlled shape and/or a non-homogenous composition. Surface treatments and/or additives may be used to control powder flow and charge distribution. Each substrate layer may be a sheet-like structure comprising fibers held together by binder. The binder may include sodium silicate.
