A sheet member and a method for constructing the sheet member. The sheet member includes a plurality of elongated, enclosed channels formed by electrodeposition.
摘要:
A method for producing an article having a body with one or more enclosed channels extending therethrough such as for the circulation of fluids. The body is formed preferably by metal deposition about one or more fibers to generate the enclosed channels with at least one end of the fibers extending beyond the body. The fibers are then extracted from the channels in the body to leave open the channels through which fluid may be circulated.

A method of making a unitary channeled heat exchanger wherein the unitary heat exchanger is to be connected with a first fluid circulation system. The unitary heat exchanger preferably includes a first manifold connectible to the first fluid circulation system and a heat transfer body fluidically connected to the manifold. The unitary heat exchanger is fabricated by forming a sacrificial core with a first manifold forming portion and a body forming portion having surfaces shaped generally similar to the desired shapes of the first manifold and body of the unitary heat exchanger, depositing heat exchanger forming material about the sacrificial core to form a shell about the sacrificial core, the shell preferably including a manifold and a body integrally formed, providing an access opening through the shell of the unitary heat exchanger, and removing the sacrificial core from within the shell of the unitary heat exchanger through the access opening, thereby leaving passages within the manifold and the body of the unitary heat exchanger that are in fluidic communication with one another. The body forming portion of the sacrificial is further preferably made with one or more holes so that upon deposition of heat exchanger forming material, posts are formed connecting upper and lower plates of the shell of the heat exchanger for increased structural integrity. Additionally, the deposition can be advantageously controlled so that apertures remain after the post or posts are formed, which may be used for mounting components or as part of a second fluid circulation circuit.

A mold 79 that includes an array of cube-corner elements 80 that are arranged in the array such that a retroreflective cube-corner sheeting 60 that is formed thereon is capable of glittering when light is incident on the sheeting. The array may be defined by three sets of intersecting grooves 25, 26, 27 where each groove set includes two or more generally parallel grooves. At least one groove in at least one of the sets has faces 22 of adjacent cube-corner elements 30a, 30b arranged such that a dihedral angle .alpha. located between adjacent faces varies along the groove(s) in the set.

Electroplating methods and systems employing ultrasonic energy to enhance electroplating processes. The electroplating methods involve sweeping a plating surface with ultrasonic energy having an area of maximum ultrasonic energy density while simultaneously performing electroplating. The systems include movement apparatus providing relative movement between an ultrasonic energy source and a cathode while the ultrasonic energy source and the cathode are located within a plating tank.

Articles having a complex geometric configuration have hydrophilicity imparted to at least a portion of surfaces of the articles while substantially retaining the complex geometric configuration. The hydrophilicity is imparted by an extremely thin, self-interlocking shell of tactic, hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol) enveloping the surfaces. A tactic poly(vinyl alcohol) precursor applied to surfaces of the supporting structure is reacted in situ on the surfaces with a hydrolysis reagent to prepare the tactic, hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol) shell. The article having the hydrophilic shell is highly resistant to solvent washout. Hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity can be reversibly provided on regio-specific surfaces of the article. Articles in the form of membranes useful as residue barriers for electroplating devices, and separators for electrochemical cells are also described.

A method of forming a stacked laminate mold. The method comprises the steps of: a) orienting a plurality of plates to have their respective major planes at a first angle relative to a fixed reference plane and parallel to one another, each of the plates including opposed parallel first and second major surfaces defining therebetween the major plane of each of the plurality of plates, each of the plates further including a mold surface connecting the first and second major surfaces; b) forming a groove in the plurality of plates, the groove including a groove surface defined by cylindric surface that is the construct of translating a two-dimensional groove profile through the plate along a line that is oblique to at least one of the plate major surface and the plate mold surface, and wherein the groove surface intersects each respective plate first major surface and each respective plate mold surface; and thereafter c) reorienting the plates to have their respective major planes at a second angle relative to the reference for molding. Also disclosed is a stacked laminate mold. The mold comprises a plurality of plates, each of the plates including: opposed parallel first and second major surfaces defining therebetween a major plane of each of the plurality of plates; a mold surface connecting the first and second major surfaces; and a plurality of cavities in each of the plurality of plates. Each of the cavities is open at least to the mold surface and includes a cavity surface defined by cylindric surface that is the construct of translating a two-dimensional cavity profile through the plate along a line that is oblique to at least one of the plate major surface and the plate minor surface, and the cavity surface intersects each respective plate first major surface and each respective plate mold surface. The first major surface of a first one of the plurality of plates is adjacent the second major surface of a second one of the plurality of plates.
