Rini Technologies Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 30 -- Rini Technologies, Oviedo, Fla., has been assigned a patent (8,100,169) developed by Daniel P. Rini, Orlando, Fla., H. Randolph Anderson, Clermont, Fla., and Guochang Zhao, Orlando, Fla., for a "spray nozzle apparatus and method of use."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "The subject invention pertains to a spray nozzle apparatus and method of use. The subject spray nozzle can be used to spray atomized fluid. The atomized fluid can then be incident on a heated surface such that heat is transferred from the heated surface to the atomized fluid. The subject invention also relates to a spray-cooling system and method of use. The subject spray-cooling system can incorporate a spray nozzle and a heat transfer plate. A device to be cooled, such as a laser diode, microwave amplifier, or other high power electrical device, can be placed in direct thermal contact with the heat transfer plate. The spray from the spray nozzle can then be sprayed onto the heat transfer plate. In a specific embodiment, a cellular transfer plate can be used and the spray from the spray nozzle can be sprayed into a cellular cavity or compartment, within the heat transfer plate. Heat is transferred from the heat source to the sprayed liquid via the wall of the heat transfer plate. The heat transfer plate can be attached to the spray nozzle housing, such that as the sprayed liquid exits the spray nozzle housing, the sprayed liquid enters a cellular cavity of the cellular heat transfer plate. Removing the cellular heat transfer plate from the spray-cooling assembly can allow the apparatus to be used as a conventional spray nozzle."
The patent application was filed on Oct. 30, 2007 (11/929,578). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,100,169&OS=8,100,169&RS=8,100,169

USAF Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 30 -- The U.S. Air Force has been assigned a patent (8,100,318) developed by Animesh Bose, Fort Worth, Texas, Morris F. Dilmore, Baker, Fla., and Alan J. Armstrong, Fort Walton Beach, Fla., for a "joining of tungsten alloys."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A process of making useful shapes by joining of tungsten alloys. Joining of tungsten heavy alloys which are alloys typically made from W--Ni--Fe is used. These alloys are typically manufactured by liquid phase sintering. This leads to difficulty in producing large length to diameter ratio parts that have some significant weight (such as penetrators). A "brick and mortar" approach is employed wherein smaller segments of this alloy (low length to diameter ratio) are joined to together to produce a larger part with higher length to diameter ratio."
The patent application was filed on Feb. 11, 2010 (12/703,815). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,100,318.PN.&OS=PN/8,100,318&RS=PN/8,100,318

Florida Turbine Technologies Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 30 -- Florida Turbine Technologies, Jupiter, Fla., has been assigned a patent (8,100,654) developed by George Liang, Palm City, Fla., for a "turbine blade with impingement cooling."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A turbine blade with a spar to support a thin thermal skin for the outer airfoil surface. The spar includes multiple rows of impingement cooling cavities that are each connected in series through curved impingement cooling holes to provide cooling for the airfoil walls. The spar is hollow on the inside and open at the blade tip with a blade tip rail extending along both walls and around the leading edge. The impingement cooling cavities discharge the spent cooling air through the tip cooling holes. A thin thermal skin is bonded to the spar to form the outer airfoil walls and is cooled by the series of impingement cooling cavities to provide a low metal temperature using a low volume of cooling air. The impingement cooling cavities and the curved impingement cooling holes are formed in the cast spar by drilling or machining so that a ceramic core for the cooling holes and cavities are not needed and blade casting yield is improved."
The patent application was filed on May 11, 2009 (12/463,914). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,100,654.PN.&OS=PN/8,100,654&RS=PN/8,100,654

Seiko Epson Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 30 -- Seiko Epson, Tokyo, has been assigned a patent (RE43,125) developed by Donald P. Seraphim, Vestal, N.Y., and Dean W. Skinner, Beverly Hills, Fla., for a "back light assembly for use with back-to-back flat-panel displays."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "The present invention features a system for uniformly distributing luminance and a high degree of collimation from a back light module for flat-panel, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) simultaneously. A constant and uniform luminance output of the back light module in two directions is obtained through appropriate selection of lamps, geometry and optical components. An appropriate balance of lamps, lamp spacing, diffusers and light collimating optics are chosen to produce a high brightness back light module with very high intensity output over two very large surfaces. Variations in intensity over the illuminated area are minimized using light recycling in conjunction with the reflective diffusers and collimating optics. Precision collimators eliminate light beyond a defined angle, as required in tiled or monolithic flat-panel LCDs with predetermined display specifications."
The patent application was filed on Aug. 1, 2007 (11/882,394). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=RE43,125.PN.&OS=PN/RE43,125&RS=PN/RE43,125
