Integrated Palladium-Based Micromembranes For Hydrogen Separation And Hydrogenation/Dehydrogenation Reactions

View page
US Patent:
6541676, Apr 1, 2003
Filed:
Dec 2, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/453246
Inventors:
Aleksander J. Franz - Winchester MA
Klavs F. Jensen - Lexington MA
Martin A. Schmidt - Reading MA
Samara Firebaugh - Cambridge MA
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
C07C 500
US Classification:
585250, 95 56, 96 11, 252373, 422190, 422211, 423351, 4236481, 423652, 423659, 429 19, 549429, 568411, 585266, 585654
Abstract:
The present invention relates to gas separation membranes including a metal-based layer having sub-micron scale thicknesses. The metal-based layer can be a palladium alloy supported by ceramic layers such as a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer. By using MEMS, a series of perforations (holes) can be patterned to allow chemical components to access both sides of the metal-based layer. Heaters and temperature sensing devices can also be patterned on the membrane. The present invention also relates to a portable power generation system at a chemical microreactor comprising the gas separation membrane. The invention is also directed to a method for fabricating a gas separation membrane. Due to the ability to make chemical microreactors of very small sizes, a series of reactors can be used in combination on a silicon surface to produce an integrated gas membrane device.

Micro-Mechanical Probes For Charge Sensing

View page
US Patent:
63007568, Oct 9, 2001
Filed:
Jun 12, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/873819
Inventors:
James C. Sturm - Skillman NJ
Kiran Pangal - Princeton NJ
Samara L. Firebaugh - Cambridge MA
Assignee:
The Trustees of Princeton University - Princeton NJ
International Classification:
G01R 2912
US Classification:
324109
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for measuring a charge on a surface, such as on a semiconductor wafer, arising during plasma processing is provided. Such a charge may be measured on an insulating film applied to such a wafer. By the present invention, the charge on such an insulator exposed to plasma is measured in-situ using micro-cantilevers. The micro-cantilevers include an insulating base positioned on the substrate and a cantilevered beam extending therefrom to over the substrate. The beam is formed of a conductive material. A charge on the beam causes an opposite charge to form on the substrate. The opposite charges attract to move or deflect the beam towards the substrate. The amount of movement or deflection corresponds to the magnitude of the charge. This movement or deflection of the beam can be measured to determine the charge by bouncing a light source, such as a laser, off of the beam. In another embodiment, the cantilever includes a flexible bridge interconnected between the base and a rigid beam.

Apparatus And Method For Detection Of Electromagnetic Radiation Using Optical Switches In An Rf Network

US Patent:
20150362364, Dec 17, 2015
Filed:
Jun 10, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/735401
Inventors:
Deborah Mechtel - Clarksville MD, US
Brian Jenkins - Crofton MD, US
Peter Joyce - Annapolis MD, US
Samara Firebaugh - Annapolis MD, US
Adam Goetz - Olathe KS, US
Assignee:
The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01J 1/42
G01J 1/44
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for identifying and characterizing an impingement by electromagnetic radiation on a structure's surface. An array of input and output radiofrequency transmission lines are connected by photoconductive switches that conduct only when exposed to incident electromagnetic radiation. Each input line is assigned a unique input RF frequency. If a switch is exposed to radiation, the connection between the corresponding input and output lines closes, and an RF signal is output from the output port connected to the closed switch, while if the switch is not exposed to the incident radiation, the connection remains open and no RF signal is output. By analyzing the frequencies of the signals output at a port, the location of the radiation incident on the structure can be determined.
