Novel, Safe and Efficient Thermal Transfer Media for Processing of Food and Drink Products

Номер: US20130078349A1
Автор: Paul Bernard Newman
Принадлежит: Paul Bernard Newman

A family of novel thermal processing and transfer media has been designed for optimized food and drink processing. These media composed solely of compounds approved to contact food, are essentially free of water, do not change state at any point in the process, remain corrosion-free throughout their useable life. While in combination with novel processing apparatus and methodologies, food and drink products requiring any heating, holding or cooling can be processed within the same equipment configurations essentially with no/minimal need for additional pressurization, the use of unheated modified atmospheres, in conjunction with these novel media, can be used to change or control the atmospheres within containers, especially polymer based containers, at specific locations within the processing cycle. It further relates to using different media compositions for each processing stage modified to optimize the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity properties of the foodstuff being processed, minimizing costs and maximizing quality.

Surface treatment of beverage containers to keep the beverage cool

Номер: US20140026595A1
Принадлежит: Individual

The invention pertains to a method suitable to reduce the heat transfer into a beverage container in order to keep the beverage cool over an extended period of time after taken from the refrigerator. The method is based on a surface treatment of the beverage container which comprises a binder in which phase change material is incorporated. By absorbing latent heat without a temperature increase, the phase change material creates a thermal barrier against heat penetration. The binder with the phase change material contained wherein is applied to the surface of the beverage container, for instance, by spray coating. The coating layer covers most of the container's surface. A second coating layer which does not contain phase change material is applied on top of the first coating layer in order to provide protection against mechanical stress during high speed filling and packaging.

Microcapsules adapted to rupture in a magnetic field to enable easy removal of one substrate from another for enhanced reworkability

Номер: US20160052239A1
Принадлежит: International Business Machines Corp

An enhanced thermal interface material (TIM) gap filler for filling a gap between two substrates (e.g., between a coldplate and an electronics module) includes microcapsules adapted to rupture in a magnetic field. The microcapsules, which are distributed in a TIM gap filler, each have a shell that encapsulates a solvent. One or more organosilane-coated magnetic nanoparticles is/are covalently bound into the shell of each microcapsule. In one embodiment, (3-aminopropyl)trimethylsilane-coated magnetite nanoparticles are incorporated into the shell of a urea-formaldehyde (UF) microcapsule during in situ polymerization. To enable easy removal of one substrate affixed to another substrate by the enhanced TIM gap filler, the substrates are positioned within a magnetic field sufficient to rupture the microcapsule shells through magnetic stimulation of the organosilane-coated magnetic nanoparticles. The ruptured microcapsule shells release the solvent, which dissolves and/or swells the TIM gap filler, thereby reducing the bond strength between the substrates.
