Budinger

Bruce O. Budinger, Chagrin Falls, OH US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090114083Encapsulated ceramic composite armor - A composite armor including a disrupting layer and a backing layer provides protection against blast and ballistic threats. The disrupting layer includes ceramic particles or tiles that disrupt the incoming projectile, while the backing layer prevents penetration past the armor by the disrupted projectile. The disrupting layer may include a layer of polygonal ceramic tiles with a deflecting front surface, encased by a retaining polymer, and may also include fire-retarding particles.05-07-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100198063Multi-Modality Phantoms and Methods for Co-registration of Dual PET-Transrectal Ultrasound Prostate Imaging - Herein are described methods and tools for acquiring accurately co-registered PET and TRUS images, as well as the construction and use of PET-TRUS prostate phantoms. Ultrasound imaging with a transrectal probe provides anatomical detail in the prostate region that can be accurately co-registered with the sensitive functional information from the PET imaging. Imaging the prostate with both PET and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) will help determine the location of any cancer within the prostate region. This dual-modality imaging should help provide better detection and treatment of prostate cancer. Multi-modality phantoms are also described.08-05-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090272095ICE SHED REDUCTION FOR LEADING EDGE STRUCTURES - A leading edge structure for use in an aerospace vehicle includes a body having a flowpath surface which defines a leading edge adapted to face an air flow during operation; and a metallic icephobic plating comprising nickel applied to at least a portion of the flowpath surface.11-05-2009
20090272850ICE SHED REDUCTION FOR LEADING EDGE STRUCTURES - A leading edge structure for use in an aerospace vehicle includes a body having a flowpath surface which defines a leading edge adapted to face an air flow during operation, and an opposed inner surface. The body is segmented into a plurality of portions having varying thermal properties and/or mechanical discontinuities, so as to promote stress concentrations in ice attached to the flowpath surface.11-05-2009
