Manipulator having thermally conductive rotary joint for transferring heat from a test specimen

Patent Haney, Steven J [Tracy, CA]; Stulen, Richard H [Livermore, CA]; Toly, Norman F [Livermore, CA]

A manipulator for rotatably moving a test specimen in an ultra-high vacuum chamber includes a translational unit movable in three mutually perpendicular directions. A manipulator frame is rigidly secured to the translational unit for rotatably supporting a rotary shaft. A first copper disc is rigidly secured to an end of the rotary shaft for rotary movement within the vacuum chamber. A second copper disc is supported upon the first disc. The second disc receives a cryogenic cold head and does not rotate with the first disc. A sapphire plate is interposed between the first and second discs to prevent gallingmore » « less

Ceramic materials with low thermal conductivity and low coefficients of thermal expansion

Patent Brown, Jesse [Christiansburg, VA]; Hirschfeld, Deidre [Elliston, VA]; Liu, Dean-Mo [Blacksburg, VA]; ...

Compositions having the general formula (Ca.sub.x Mg.sub.1-x)Zr.sub.4 (PO.sub.4).sub.6 where x is between 0.5 and 0.99 are produced by solid state and sol-gel processes. In a preferred embodiment, when x is between 0.5 and 0.8, the MgCZP materials have near-zero coefficients of thermal expansion. The MgCZPs of the present invention also show unusually low thermal conductivities, and are stable at high temperatures. Macrostructures formed from MgCZP are useful in a wide variety of high-temperature applications. In a preferred process, calcium, magnesium, and zirconium nitrate solutions have their pH adjusted to between 7 and 9 either before or after the addition ofmore » « less

Method for determining thermal conductivity and thermal capacity per unit volume of earth in situ

Patent Poppendiek, Heinz F [LaJolla, CA]

A method for determining the thermal conductivity of the earth in situ is based upon a cylindrical probe (10) having a thermopile (16) for measuring the temperature gradient between sets of thermocouple junctions (18 and 20) of the probe after it has been positioned in a borehole and has reached thermal equilibrium with its surroundings, and having means (14) for heating one set of thermocouple junctions (20) of the probe at a constant rate while the temperature gradient of the probe is recorded as a rise in temperature over several hours (more than about 3 hours). A fluid annulus thermallymore » « less

Apparatus for determining a thermal conductivity and a thermal diffusivity of a material, and related methods

Patent Hurley, David H.; Schley, Robert S.; Khafizov, Marat

A method of determining a thermal conductivity and a thermal diffusivity of a material comprises exposing a specimen comprising a substrate of a material and a metallic film over the substrate to an amplitude modulated pump laser beam comprising electromagnetic radiation having a first wavelength and a first modulation frequency to form a pump spot on the metallic film. The specimen is exposed to a probe laser beam comprising electromagnetic radiation having a second wavelength to form a probe spot on the metallic film. A phase shift between the pump laser beam and a reflected probe laser beam is measuredmore » « less
