Filed:

Feb 9, 2022

Appl. No.:

17/668354

Inventors:

Peter Paulin - Decatur IL, US

International Classification:

H05K 5/02
H05K 7/20
G01K 13/00
G06F 1/20

Abstract:

A system for improving an electrical conductivity and reducing an electrical energy loss in an electrical component, the system includes a temperature sensor, insulation for enclosing the electrical component and the temperature sensor, a cooling source to be coupled to the electrical component through the insulation, and a computer connected to the cooling source and the temperature sensor, where the computer is configured to control the cooling source to cool the electrical component to a user-definable temperature as indicated by the temperature sensor and maintain the electrical component at the user-definable temperature for a user-definable period of time.

15/985100

Inventors:

Peter PAULIN - Decatur IL, US

International Classification:

F27B 9/14
F27B 9/24
F27B 9/40

Abstract:

A method of thermally processing work pieces including providing an insulated chamber having a first end, an opposing second end, and a middle portion disposed between the first and second ends, wherein the first end is inclined with respect to middle portion, creating a thermal gradient within an interior of the insulated chamber, and providing a means for gradually moving a workpiece from the first end to the second end within the created thermal gradient.

Appl. No.:

16/010390

Inventors:

Peter Paulin - Decatur IL, US

International Classification:

C21D 9/04

Abstract:

A method for thermal processing rails including casting a rail from a metal, allowing the rail casting to cool to a temperature within a predetermined range, immediately placing the rail casting, when at the temperature, into a first chamber having gaseous nitrogen, cooling the rail casting to about −300 degrees using the gaseous nitrogen, allowing the rail casting to soak in a second chamber having liquid nitrogen and allowing the rail casting to reach room temperature.

Jan 29, 2018

Appl. No.:

15/881915

Inventors:

Peter Paulin - Decatur IL, US

International Classification:

H01L 31/18

Abstract:

A method for cryogenic retreating solar cells and solar cell components in order to decrease resistance and increase photovoltaic output. The method involves placing the solar cells and solar cell components in a cryogenic processor wherein the cells and panel components are lowered to approximately −300 F. This temperature is maintained for a predetermined time, after which the temperature is raised to ambient temperature over time.

Appl. No.:

14/777305

Inventors:

Peter PAULIN - Decatur IL, US

International Classification:

F27B 9/14
F27B 9/24
F27B 1/10

Abstract:

A method of thermal processing a work piece using another work piece which includes providing a chamber having a plurality of temperature zones, disposing a first work piece within a first temperature zone of the chamber, allowing a temperature of the first work piece to thermally equilibrate with the first temperature zone, moving the first work piece to a second temperature zone and disposing a second work piece within the second temperature zone of the chamber, in fluid communication with the first work piece, wherein a thermal exchange occurs between the first and second work pieces.
