| 20090214845 | PROCESS OF PRODUCING A CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITE ARTICLE AND ARTICLE FORMED THEREBY - A CMC article and process for producing the article to have a layer on its surface that protects a reinforcement material within the article from damage. The method entails providing a body containing a ceramic reinforcement material in a matrix material that contains a precursor of a ceramic matrix material. A fraction of the reinforcement material is present and possibly exposed at a surface of the body. The body surface is then provided with a surface layer formed of a slurry containing a particulate material but lacking the reinforcement material of the body. The body and surface layer are heated to form the article by converting the precursor within the body to form the ceramic matrix material in which the reinforcement material is contained, and by converting the surface layer to form the protective layer that covers any fraction of the reinforcement material exposed at the body surface. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100027105 | ROBUST WINDOW FOR INFRARED ENERGY - Articles transparent to infrared radiation and resistant to impact and wear are provided. In one embodiment the article comprises a substrate and a composite coating disposed over the substrate and extending from an interface with the substrate to an external surface. The coating and the substrate are capable of transmitting infrared radiation. The composite coating comprises a first phase and a second phase, where the second phase has a higher resistance to erosive wear than the first phase. The coating comprises a compositional gradient proceeding from a first composition at the interface of the coating with the substrate to a second composition at the external surface, the first composition comprising a higher concentration of the first phase than that of the second composition. The first phase has at least one property selected from the group consisting of a) a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is within about plus or minus 3 parts per million per degree centigrade of a CTE of the substrate, and b) an index of refraction that is within a range from as high as about 0.1 plus the index of refraction of the substrate to as low as about the square root of the index of refraction of the substrate. | 02-04-2010 |

The membrane structure further includes a nonmonotonic gradient in pore size extending between the top surface and the bottom surface. A method of making a membrane structure is provided. The method includes the steps of providing at least one inner layer; providing a plurality of outer layers; and laminating the inner layer and the outer layers to obtain a membrane structure. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100111803 | HIGH STRENGTH, FINE GRAINED SPINEL FOR WINDOW APPLICATIONS, METHODS OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF AND ARTICLES COMPRISING THE SAME - Disclosed herein is a spinel article. The article comprises a spinel material, wherein the spinel material has a monomodal grain size distribution with average grain sizes of less than or equal to about 15 micrometers, and a biaxial flexural strength of greater than or equal to about 300 megapascals when measured by a ring-on-ring flexural test as per ASTM Standard C1499-08. Disclosed herein too is a spinel article manufactured by a method comprising calcining a spinel powder; milling the powder in a milling medium; granulating the powder; screening the powder to a mesh size of about 40 to about 200 mesh; pressing the powder to form an article; burning out organics from the article; sintering the article; and hot isostatically pressing the article. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100155252 | MEMBRANE STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MAKING - A membrane structure is provided. The membrane structure includes a first layer having a plurality of interconnected pores; and a second layer disposed on the first layer. The second layer has a plurality of unconnected pores. Each of the unconnected pores is in fluid communication with at least one of the interconnected pores of the first layer. A method of making a membrane structure is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a first layer having a plurality of interconnected pores; and disposing a second layer on the first layer. Disposing a second layer includes depositing a conducting layer on the first layer; and anodizing the conducting layer to convert the conducting layer into a porous layer. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20110096076 | APPLICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE FOR ANIMATION - Many computer applications incorporate and support animation. Application performance may be enhanced by delegating animation management to an application program interface (animation API) for animation. Accordingly, an animation API for managing animation is disclosed herein. The animation API may be configured to sequentially interpolate values of animation variables defining animation movement of animation objects. The animation API may interpolate the values of the animation variables using animation transitions within animation storyboards. The animation API may be configured to determine durations of animation transitions based upon animation characteristics parameters (e.g., starting position, desiring ending position, starting velocity of an animation variable). Durations and start times of animation transitions may be determined based upon key frames. The animation API may be configured to resolve scheduling conflicts among one or more animation transitions. Also, the animation API may be configured to facilitate smooth animation while switching between animation transitions for an animation variable. | 04-28-2011 |
