| 20080223819 | Method and etchant for removing glass-coating from metal wires - An etchant for and method of removing a glass coating on a metallic wire is provided. The etchant comprises an acid solution having metal ions contained therein. The metal ions prevent the acid solution from pitting or damaging the metallic wire, while allowing the acid solution to effectively etch and remove the glass coating. In one embodiment, a fluorine-based acid solution can be used. In another embodiment, a glass coated, metal alloy microwire is etched and the metal ions added to the etchant are chosen to be the same as the majority constituent element in the metal alloy. The glass coating can be either removed in full or only partially removed. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080283762 | Radiation detector employing amorphous material - A radiation detector is provided having an anode wire formed of an amorphous metal alloy. In one embodiment the radiation detector comprises a cathode assembly. The cathode assembly includes a main portion, a first end and a second end, where the first end opposes the second end. The cathode assembly also includes a radiation interacting material. An anode extends within the cathode assembly from the first end to the second end, and the anode is comprised of an amorphous metal alloy. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20110048031 | MAGNETO-CALORIC REGENERATOR SYSTEM AND METHOD - A regenerator having a thermal diffusivity matrix is presented. The thermal diffusivity matrix includes magneto-caloric material having multiple miniature protrusions intimately packed to form a gap between the protrusions. A fluid path is provided within the gap to facilitate flow of a heat exchange fluid and further provide efficient thermal exchange between the heat exchange fluid and magneto-caloric material. A first layer is disposed on each of the miniature protrusion to physically isolate the heat exchange fluid and magneto-caloric material, wherein the first layer further includes a soft magnetic material configured to simultaneously enhance a permeability and a thermal efficiency of the thermal diffusivity matrix. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110073486 | AMORPHOUS METALLIC MATERIAL ELEMENTS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING SAME - A method for altering a dimension of an element made of an amorphous metallic material is provided. The method includes providing an anode comprising the amorphous metallic material, wherein the amorphous metallic material comprises at least two primary constituents, providing a cathode disposed in a spaced-apart relationship with the anode, providing an electrolyte in contact with the anode and the cathode, and applying an electrical potential between the anode and the cathode. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110139404 | HEAT EXCHANGER AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME - A method is provided, the method including providing a first tubular structure that defines a first passage. A sacrificial material can be disposed in the first passage. A second tubular structure can be provided so as to be adjacent to the first tubular structure, with the second tubular structure defining a second passage within which can be disposed a granular material. The first and second tubular structures can be deformed together so as to reduce an external dimension of each of the first and second tubular structures. The sacrificial material can then be removed from the first passage. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110154832 | COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - Provided is a method that includes providing a granular first material (e.g., a magnetocaloric material) and a sinterable second material. The granular first material and the sinterable second material can be combined to form an aggregate. Once the aggregate has been formed, localized sintering of the aggregate can be performed, for example, such that, subsequent to localized sintering, the second material is substantially contiguous and binds the granular first material. Associated compositions and systems are also provided. | 06-30-2011 |
