Patent
- Inventor(s):
- Eric Matlis, Scott Morris, Thomas C. Corke, Joshua Cameron
- Patent Number:
- US 7908115 B2
- Description:
Plasma sensors, systems and related methods are described. An example method for predicting an event includes providing a carrier signal across two electrodes and forming a plasma between the two electrodes. The example method also includes measuring a modulated signal from the plasma, manipulating the modulated signal to produce a value and comparing the value to a threshold. Finally, the example method includes determining the likelihood of the event based on the comparison.

Patent
- Inventor(s):
- Mehul Patel, Thomas C. Corke
- Patent Number:
- US 7624941 B2
- Description:
The present invention relates to a method of controlling an aircraft, missile, munition or ground vehicle with plasma actuators, and more particularly to controlling fluid flow across their surfaces or other surfaces, which would benefit from such a method. The method includes the design of an aerodynamic plasma actuator for the purpose of controlling airflow separation over a control surface of a aircraft, missile, or a ground vehicle, and more particularly to the method of determining a mod…

- Patent Number:
- US 6428754 B2
- Description:
An exhaust gas treatment system and method for treating the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine includes a catalytic converter and a catalytic preheater or igniter upstream of the catalytic converter. A bypass passage extends around the igniter such that during the ignition period about two-thirds of the exhaust gas is bypassed around the igniter and one-third passes through the igniter. The igniter raises the temperature of the exhaust gases passing therethrough to an adiabatic temp…

- Description:
A catalytic carbon formation technique in a carbon fiber substrate is disclosed. The carbon fiber substrate is first impregnated with a catalyst and is thereafter heated in an atmosphere rich in carbon and hydrogen. The catalyst is typically a Group VIII metal and may be selected from the group consisting of iron, nickel and cobalt. An incipient wetness technique for impregnating the substrate is also disclosed. A salt of the catalyst is provided in solution and void volume of the substrate i…
