Spill resistant surfaces having hydrophobic and oleophobic borders

Номер: US20120009396A1

Автор: Andrew K. Jones, Russell Ross, Vinod K. Sikka

Принадлежит: Ross Technology Corp

Described herein are methods for creating spill-proof or spill-resistant surfaces through the use of hydrophobic or oleophobic (H-SH) edges, borders or/and boundaries that contain the water and other liquids within inside the edges, borders and/or boundaries. Also described herein are spill-proof/spill-resistant surfaces. Liquid (e.g., water and other aqueous solutions/suspension) heights of 3-6 mm on a level planar surface can be sustained by such edges, borders and/of boundaries. The H-SH borders can be created on glass, metal, wood, plastic, and concrete surfaces.

Cryogenic system with rapid thermal cycling

Номер: US20120096873A1

Автор: Jean Delmas, Robert J. Webber

Принадлежит: Hypres Inc

A fluid control assembly is connected between a cold gas container intended to be operated at deep cryogenic temperatures (e.g., 4K) and a gas reservoir for controlling the flow of fluid between the container and the reservoir. The fluid control assembly may be a passive valve assembly or an electrically controlled valve assembly which controls fluid flow between the reservoir and the container as a function of temperature and/or pressure differentials. The fluid control assembly enables the container to be rapidly cooled by restricting the amount of fluid flow from the reservoir into the container when the container is subjected to thermal cycling within a limited temperature range (e.g., 4K to 11K). The fluid control assembly together with the gas reservoir and the container form a thermal damper which is suited for use in a cryocooling system for producing the cryogenic temperatures (e.g., 4K) to operate superconducting devices which may need to be thermally cycled to remove trapped flux.

A brew module for use with a refrigerator appliance is provided. The brew module includes a brewing body and a pivotally attached lid that together define a brew chamber configured to receive a brew pod. A lower needle is positioned at the bottom of the brew chamber and an upper needle is slidably received within the lid. Pivoting the lid to the closed position forces the lower needle to pierce the brew pod first, thereby relieving any built up pressure. Thereafter, a moving water supply tube drives the upper needle downward to pierce a top cover of the brew pod along a substantially vertical direction, thus minimizing the size of the pierced hole in the top cover. The brew module thus facilitates an improved seal with the brew pod, reduces the risk of clogging the upper needle, and prevents the ejection of brew pod contents. 1. A refrigerator appliance defining a vertical direction , a lateral direction , and a transverse direction , the refrigerator appliance comprising:a cabinet defining a chilled chamber;a door being rotatably hinged to the cabinet to provide selective access to the chilled chamber, the door defining a dispenser recess;a dispensing assembly positioned within the dispenser recess and comprising a moving water delivery tube configured to move substantially along the vertical direction between a retracted position and an extended position; and a brewing body defining a brew chamber configured to receive a brew pod, the brewing body defining an outlet and comprising a lower needle;', 'a lid configured to seal the brew pod within the brew chamber, the lid defining an inlet configured to receive a flow of water from the moving water delivery tube to mix with contents of the brew pod to create a beverage; and', 'an upper needle assembly comprising an upper needle attached to a drive member, the drive member being slidably received within the lid and configured to move in a vertical direction between a retracted position and an extended position., 'a ...
