Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100264601SHROUDED FACE SEAL AND COMPONENTS THEREOF - One embodiment of the face seal described herein includes a seal seat and a seal element carried by a seal housing. The seal element cooperates with the seal seat to establish a seal. The housing includes a seal element support and a shroud. The seal housing is made of a parent material and the shroud has a tip impregnated with a second material.10-21-2010

20090030142PRECERAMIC SILAZANE POLYMER FOR CERAMIC MATERIALS - A method of forming a preceramic polymer includes treating a silane precursor having a vinyl moiety of ammonia to produce the preceramic polymer. For example, the silane precursor is trichlorovinylsilane. The preceramic polymer may then be cross-linked at a relatively low temperature by using a cross-linking agent.01-29-2009
20090197075COATINGS AND COATING PROCESSES FOR MOLYBDENUM SUBSTRATES - In a method for coating a molybdenum-based substrate, a molybdenum disilicide layer is formed on the substrate. Aluminum is reacted with hydrochloric gas to produce aluminum chloride. The aluminum chloride is reacted with hydrogen and carbon dioxide to produce alumina. A layer of the alumina is deposited atop the molybdenum disilicide layer.08-06-2009
20110071013CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A ceramic matrix composite is formed from a non-oxide ceramic and continuous ceramic fibers. The matrix includes a hafnium donor in the matrix in an amount sufficient to harden the composite at elevated temperatures to prevent ablation of the composite. The matrix also includes a boron donor in the matrix in an amount sufficient to lower the glass transition temperature of the composite to flow over cracks formed in the composite. The method to form the matrix is selected from polymer infiltration pyrolysis, chemical vapor infiltration, and sequential polymer infiltration pyrolysis and chemical vapor infiltration.03-24-2011
20110071014HYBRED POLYMER CVI COMPOSITES - A method of forming a highly densified chemical matrix composite CMC from a preform of a matrix of a non-oxide ceramic and continuous ceramic fibers. An interface coating is added, followed by partially densifying the preform with a resin to increase the density of the preform using a polymer infiltration pyrolysis PIP) process one or more times. A chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) process is used to bring the CMC to a final desired density.03-24-2011

20090000311PRELIMINARY VEHICLE HEATING AND COOLING BY PELTIER EFFECT - A climate control system includes the interim heating/cooling component that operates in the interim duration prior to the heating and cooling systems reaching a desired state of readiness. The interim heating/cooling device uses the Peltier effect to transfer heat between first and second sides depending on a polarity of current. Controlling which of the two sides is heated provides the desired heating or cooling of the air. Once the heating or cooling system reaches the desired state of readiness, the interim heating/cooling device is turned off.01-01-2009
