Title: Method and apparatus for depositing stable crystalline phase coatings of high temperature ceramics
Inventor: COJOCARU CRISTIAN VICTOR
IPC: C23C4/134
Filed: 2011-11-25
Abstract: Producing high temperature coatings on ceramics using a high enthalpy air plasma spray torch and supplying in at least 3 passes to deposit the coating is advantageous for spraying high temperature ceramics while avoiding formation of undesirable phases, if the stand off distance is chosen such that a width of a bead produced from a single spray pass on the substrate at ~800Â°C is less than 70% of a diameter of a plume of the torch at the stand off, and neither assisted heating, nor forced cooling, nor subsequent heat treatment is used. The rapid cooling endemic to thermal spray that leads to amorphous, metastable and other undesirable phases of alkaline earth aluminosilicate (e.g., barium- strontium aluminosilicate (BSAS)), rare earth silicates (RESs), mullite, etc. can be mitigated sufficiently by the close stand off and high enthalpy torch to provide highly crystalline and stable phase coatings.

Title: Systems and methods
Inventor: Martin Kirk Jackson
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2015-04-10
Abstract: Multiple sensors, e.g. a selection of fixed and handheld sensors, communicate with a central monitoring system to provide information about the food preparation environment e.g. a kitchen or fridge, and the central system may determine whether the environment is within acceptable parameters and issue a warning if not. The sensor information may be verifiable by processing with a secret value, adding an MD5 checksum, time stamp or encrypting. The sensors may communicate with the central system via a hub, which may scan for available radio frequency channels, determine radio frequency channels used by the sensors and determine an optimum frequency for reliable transmission. A temperature sensor may comprise a compressible thermal coupling substance compressed between a beveled corner or edge of a housing for the sensor, an antenna for a radio frequency communication device being located away from the beveled corner or edge. The sensor may be calibrated by entering a height above sea level and a reference sensed value when the sensor is in boiling water to adjust the factory calibration. A portable unit may communicate with any handheld sensors in the system and may further output tasks on a display for an operative to perform.
