Self-Healing Cable Apparatus And Methods

View page
US Patent:
7302145, Nov 27, 2007
Filed:
Feb 27, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/362611
Inventors:
Dryver Huston - South Burlington VT, US
Brian Esser - Colchester VT, US
Assignee:
University of Vermont and State Agricultural College - Burlington VT
International Classification:
G02B 6/44
US Classification:
385100, 385101, 385106
Abstract:
Self-healing cable apparatus and methods are disclosed. The cable has a central core surrounded by an adaptive cover that can extend over the entire length of the cable or just one or more portions of the cable. The adaptive cover includes a protective layer having an initial damage resistance, and a reactive layer. When the cable is subjected to a localized damaging force, the reactive layer responds by creating a corresponding localized self-healed region. The self-healed region provides the cable with enhanced damage resistance as compared to the cable's initial damage resistance. Embodiments of the invention utilize conventional epoxies or foaming materials in the reactive layer that are released to form the self-healed region when the damaging force reaches the reactive layer.

Stiction-Based Chuck For Bulge Tester And Method Of Bulge Testing

View page
US Patent:
20020066311, Jun 6, 2002
Filed:
Dec 4, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/006259
Inventors:
Dryver Huston - South Burlington VT, US
Wolfgang Sauter - Burlington VT, US
Peter Sonntag - Starnberg, DE
Assignee:
University of Vermont and State Agricultural College - Burlington VT
International Classification:
G01L005/04
US Classification:
073/159000
Abstract:
A bulge tester () for determining residual stresses, and mechanical, thermal and other properties of a thin film () of material. The bulge tester includes a chuck () that supports the substrate () on which the film is deposited by stiction rather than through the use of mounting waxes, adhesives and mechanical clamping. The stiction inducing media () may be viscous grease, a flexible sheet of material such as a rubber, an elastomer, both or other materials. Bulge testing performed using the stiction-based chuck involves inducing stiction between the base () of the chuck and substrate of at least at least 1 kPascal (0.69 lb/in), as determined using a corner peel test. Then pressurized fluid is delivered to the film to be tested, and materials properties of the film are determined as a function of pressure of the fluid and deflection of the film.

Self-Healing Cable For Extreme Environments

View page
US Patent:
20080283272, Nov 20, 2008
Filed:
May 15, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/803430
Inventors:
Dryver R. Huston - South Burlington VT, US
Bernard R. Tolmie - Grand Isle VT, US
International Classification:
H01B 3/42
G02B 6/00
H01B 3/44
US Classification:
174110PM, 174110 F, 385102
Abstract:
Self-healing cable apparatus and methods disclosed. The self-healing cable has a central core surrounded by an adaptive cover that can extend over the entire length of the self-healing cable or just one or more portions of the self-healing cable. The adaptive cover includes an axially and/or radially compressible-expandable (C/E) foam layer that maintains its properties over a wide range of environmental conditions. A tape layer surrounds the C/E layer and is applied so that it surrounds and axially and/or radially compresses the C/E layer. When the self-healing cable is subjected to a damaging force that causes a breach in the outer jacket and the tape layer, the corresponding localized axially and/or radially compressed portion of the C/E foam layer expands into the breach to form a corresponding localized self-healed region. The self-healing cable is manufacturable with present-day commercial self-healing cable manufacturing tools.

Diagnostic Methods For Self-Healing Cables

View page
US Patent:
20090309608, Dec 17, 2009
Filed:
Aug 3, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/462374
Inventors:
Dryver Huston - South Burlington VT, US
Bernard Tolmie - Grand Isle VT, US
International Classification:
G01R 31/08
US Classification:
324527
Abstract:
Self-healing diagnostics methods are disclosed. One of the methods involves determining whether a self-healing cable has at least one self-healed region and includes transmitting an outgoing test signal down the self-healing cable and measuring the return test signal. The method also includes comparing the measured return test signal to an ideal return signal associated with the same type of self-healing cable that has no self-healed regions to determine whether the self-healing cable has at least one self-healed region. A database of return signals based on different types of self-healed regions formed by different types of damaging conditions is also used to characterize the return test signal and thus the type of self-healed region present in the cable.

US Patent:
20210128786, May 6, 2021
Filed:
Jan 30, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/482636
Inventors:
- Burlington VT, US
Sean WRENN - South Burlington VT, US
Franziska Elisabeth UHL - Burlington VT, US
Ethan GRISWOLD - Waterbury Center VT, US
Patrick LEE - South Burlington VT, US
Darcy WAGNER - Munich, DE
Dryver Roy HUSTON - South Burlington VT, US
International Classification:
A61L 27/38
A61L 27/36
C12N 5/071
A61M 1/16
A61M 16/08
Abstract:
Compositions, materials, devices and methods are disclosed for the use of decellularized avian lung scaffolds for potential xenotransplantation and other uses including use as novel lung assist or bridge-to-transplant devices and as potential alternatives to current ECMO devices and technologies.

Vibrating Magnet Antenna

View page
US Patent:
20200083931, Mar 12, 2020
Filed:
Sep 12, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/569009
Inventors:
Dryver R Huston - South Burlington VT, US
Tian Xia - South Burlington VT, US
Dylan Burns - South Burlington VT, US
Dan Orfeo - Essex Junction VT, US
International Classification:
H04B 5/00
Abstract:
A vibrating magnetic antenna for generating reversable magnetic dipoles is provided. Soft magnetic materials are used to project the magnetic field as the magnet moves linearly between soft magnetic stators arranged in a “Y” configuration. The soft magnetic stators include a nickel-iron alloy, having high magnetic permeability. Also provided is a magnetic coupling circuit for upshifting the frequency of the magnetic field.

Wideband Ground Penetrating Radar System And Method

View page
US Patent:
20190154826, May 23, 2019
Filed:
Jan 11, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/245628
Inventors:
Dryver R. Huston - South Burlington VT, US
Tian Xia - South Burlington VT, US
Dylan Burns - South Burlington VT, US
International Classification:
G01S 13/88
G01S 7/282
G01S 7/285
G01S 7/03
Abstract:
An improved Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system is provided. The system advantageously employs full waveform digitization of a returning signal to significantly reduce the number of launch signals and allowing the amount of radiation emitted to stay within the limit set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), while producing a robust information detection signal. In addition, intermittent large latent-duty-cycle sampling employs a less expensive digitizer typically used in prior art GPRs. The system is scalable at low-cost to accommodate multi-antenna multi-static testing for subsurface tomographic imaging.

Abstract:
Self-stressing engineered composites that include a matrix containing self-stressing reinforcement that is activated by an activator that causes, in situ, the self-stressing reinforcement to transfer at least some of its pre-stress into portions of the matrix adjacent the self-stressing reinforcement. In some embodiments, the activator can be of a self-activating, an internal activating, and/or an external activating type. In some embodiments, the self-stressing reinforcement includes an active component that holds and transfers pre-stress to a matrix and a releasing component that causes the active component to transfer its pre-stress to the matrix. In some embodiments, the self-stressing reinforcement is initially unstressed and becomes stressed upon activation. Various engineered composites, self-stressing reinforcement, and applications of self-stressing engineered composites are disclosed.
