Filed:

Dec 9, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/963937

Inventors:

Joshua Persky - Boulder CO, US
David A Litton - West Hartford CT, US
David A Lambert - Clinton CT, US

Assignee:

United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT

International Classification:

F03B 3/12
B32B 15/04
B32B 3/10

US Classification:

428698, 428701, 428702, 428209, 428472, 428446, 416241 R, 416241 B

Abstract:

A workpiece, such as a turbine engine component, comprises a substrate, a thermal barrier coating on the substrate, and a hard erosion barrier deposited over the thermal barrier coating. The erosion barrier preferably has a Vickers hardness in the range of from 1300 to 2750 kg/mm. The erosion barrier may be formed from aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, or molybdenum disilicide. The erosion barrier may be formed using either an electrophoretic deposition process or a slurry process.

International Classification:

H01M004/66
H01M004/88
B32B027/12

US Classification:

Abstract:

The present invention provides a flexible pyrolyzed carbon fiber matrix, suitable for use as a fuel cell electrode substrate. The product is characterized by controlled microporosity and is at least partially hydrophobic. The product is made by a continuous, high speed, high volume manufacturing process, which permits wide variability in such parameters as basis weight (50-150 gm/m), caliper (140-400 mat 5 Kpa), density (0.300-0.480 gm/cm), and resistivity (200-1000 mOhm-cm through plane and 15-65 mOhm-cm in plane). This matrix, unlike current electrode substrates, is flexible and can be made as roll goods. Comparative testing in fuel cell applications has demonstrated that this electrode substrate performs comparably to currently available electrode substrates. A fuel cell equipped with the present electrode substrate will produce a polarization curve which is virtually the same as that produced by a fuel cell equipped with a conventional electrode substrate.

US Classification:

210504, 210508, 210509, 427569, 162145

Abstract:

Filtration media for filtering a liquid includes a plurality of fibers having a coating thereon of a fluorine containing compound. Also disclosed are processes for forming fibrous non-woven liquid filtration media having the coating of the fluorine containing compound. Suitable fluorine containing compounds generally include fluoropolymers, fluorinated hydrocarbons, fluoroacrylate polymers, and the like. The liquid filtration media having the coating of the fluorine containing compound provides markedly improved dirt holding capacity and efficiency properties, among others.

International Classification:

B01D 3902

US Classification:

2105021

Abstract:

A filter material for removing chlorine from cold water used in preparing a human-consumable beverage having at least one layer of a mat of laid fibers of cellulosic fibers and synthetic textile fibers and mixtures thereof. A synthetic hydrophilic, food-grade latex binder deposited onto the fibers within the mat in an amount sufficient to so bind the fibers together within the mat that during a filtration of cold water through the mat no substantial amount of fibers are displaced therefrom and in an amount insufficient to substantially reduce a gravity flow rate of cold water through the mat to less than about 0. 3 liter per minute per 100 square centimeters of the mat. A water-insoluble chlorine adsorbent or absorbent solid powder disposed on the binder such that no more than 65% of the total outside surface area of the powder is substantially contacted by the binder.
