US Classification:

427/376200, 427/421000, 427/475000, 427/387000, 524/407000, 524/413000, 524/435000, 524/436000, 524/437000, 524/588000, 219/392000

Abstract:

A high temperature resistive coating composition includes a pigmenting component, a binder component, and a hardening agent. The pigmenting component includes a spinel of the formula ABO, in which A is selected from the group consisting of Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu and Ni, or a combination thereof, and B is selected from the group consisting of Al, Fe and Cr, or a combination thereof. The binder component of the high temperature resistive coating is preferably a polysiloxane material, such as a silicon resin. Moreover, the hardening agent of the high temperature resistive coating includes a finely powdered material selected from the group consisting of diamond powder, BN, WC, SiC, AlO, AlN and SiO. The resistive coating may be advantageously used for coating the interior of a self-cleaning oven, an oven rack, burner grates, and the like, particularly due to its ability to withstand high temperatures.

Abstract:

A miniature pressure sensor has been designed based on an optical fiber with fiber bragg grating (FBG). The fiber can be attached to a portion of tubing by co-extrusion, braiding, gluing, or other equivalent methods, where the portion of tubing is flexible and a first side is exposed to the fluid/gas being measured (P) and a second side is exposed to a reference pressure (P).
