Abstract

A cryogenic support member is comprised of a non-metallic rod having a depression in at least one end and a metallic end connection assembled to the rod. The metallic end connection comprises a metallic plug which conforms to the shape and is disposed in the depression and a metallic sleeve is disposed over the rod and plug. The plug and the sleeve are shrink-fitted to the depression in the rod to form a connection good in compression, tension and bending.

Energy conversion device with support member having pore channels

Patent Routkevitch, Dmitri [Longmont, CO]; Wind, Rikard A [Johnstown, CO]

Energy devices such as energy conversion devices and energy storage devices and methods for the manufacture of such devices. The devices include a support member having an array of pore channels having a small average pore channel diameter and having a pore channel length. Material layers that may include energy conversion materials and conductive materials are coaxially disposed within the pore channels to form material rods having a relatively small cross-section and a relatively long length. By varying the structure of the materials in the pore channels, various energy devices can be fabricated, such as photovoltaic (PV) devices, radiation detectors,more » capacitors, batteries and the like.« less

Flexural support member having a high ratio of lateral-to-axial stiffness

Patent Haas, Wendall M. B. [Covina, CA]

A convoluted flexible support structure is provided which is capable of supplying a lateral to axial spring rate in excess of 1,000 to 1. A support member in the form of a steel disc having a specified number of rather large radius, concentric convolutions and a thickness in the range of from about 0.01 to 0.02 inch has an axial stiffness of about 50 pounds/inch while the lateral stiffness is about 100,000 pounds/inch. The support member may be used to support a vibration device where the lateral motion of the vibrator must be highly restricted while providing relatively free axialmore » displacement of about .+-.0.25 inch.« less

Optoelectronic device with a support member

Patent Rosenberg, Paul Kessler; Mathai, Sagi Varghese; Tan, Michael Renne Ty

Optoelectronic devices with a support member and methods of manufacturing or assembling the same are provided. An example of an optoelectronic device according to the present disclosure includes a substrate and an optical component and an electronic component disposed thereon or therein. The optoelectronic device further includes a ferrule coupled to the optical fiber and an optical socket receiving the ferrule therein. The optoelectronic device includes a support member disposed between the substrate and the optical socket such that the optical socket is spaced from the substrate by the support member.

Cryogenic support system

Patent Nicol, Thomas H [Aurora, IL]; Niemann, Ralph C [Downers Grove, IL]; Gonczy, John D [Oak Lawn, IL]

A support system is disclosed for restraining large masses at very low or cryogenic temperatures. The support system employs a tie bar that is pivotally connected at opposite ends to an anchoring support member and a sliding support member. The tie bar extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cold mass assembly, and comprises a rod that lengthens when cooled and a pair of end attachments that contract when cooled. The rod and end attachments are sized so that when the tie bar is cooled to cryogenic temperature, the net change in tie bar length is approximately zero.more »« less
