Multi-Zone Microstructure Spring
US Patent:
2012032, Dec 27, 2012
Filed:
Jun 23, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/135037
Inventors:
Jeffrey Paul Baugher - Dayton OH, US
Assignee:
Duality Reality Energy, LLC - West Carrollton OH
International Classification:
B32B 7/02
B23P 13/00
B23P 13/00
US Classification:
428217, 298969
Abstract:
A method to create a multi-zone microstructure spring includes releasing a buckling layer from a substrate, wherein the buckling layer displaces into a curved shape after the releasing. The buckling layer is displaced, relative to the substrate, through at least one of a first zone, a second zone, and a third zone, wherein the buckling layer provides positive stiffness in the first zone, zero stiffness in a second zone, and negative stiffness in a third zone, and the buckling layer must pass through the first zone to reach the second zone and the buckling layer must pass through the second zone to reach the third zone. A multi-zone microstructure spring includes a substrate and a buckling layer. The buckling layer has a surface area. The buckling layer has a positive stiffness in a first zone, zero stiffness in a second zone, and a negative stiffness in a third zone. The buckling layer must pass through the first zone to reach the second zone and the buckling layer must pass through the second zone to reach the third zone. The buckling layer is connected to the substrate. The microstructure includes an elastic connection. The elastic connection is in contact with the buckling layer over a fraction of the buckling layer's surface area.
Reduced Stiffness Micro-Mechanical Structure
US Patent:
2013000, Jan 10, 2013
Filed:
Jul 5, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/135424
Inventors:
Jeffrey Paul Baugher - Dayton OH, US
Assignee:
Duality Reality Energy, LLC - West Carrollton OH
International Classification:
H03K 17/975
US Classification:
200600
Abstract:
Apparatuses and method are described to create a reduced stiffness microstructure (RSM). A RSM is made by forming a first buckled membrane along a first buckling direction and forming a second buckled membrane along a second buckling direction. The second buckling direction is opposite to the first buckling direction and the first buckled membrane is in contact with the second buckled membrane over a contact area. Within an operating zone, a stiffness of the reduced stiffness microstructure spring is less than an absolute value of a stiffness of either the first buckled membrane or the second buckled membrane when the contact area translates along either one of the buckling directions. In the operating zone the stiffness can approach or equal zero.
Energy Harvesting With A Micro-Electro-Machanical System (Mems)
US Patent:
2013019, Aug 1, 2013
Filed:
Jan 31, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/385060
Inventors:
Jeffrey Paul Baugher - Dayton OH, US
Assignee:
Duality Reality Energy, LLC - West Carrollton OH
International Classification:
H02J 7/00
H02K 7/00
H02K 7/00
US Classification:
320137, 290 1 R
Abstract:
Apparatuses and method are described to create an energy harvesting microstructure, referred to herein as a transduction micro-electro mechanical system (T-MEMS). A T-MEMS includes a substrate, a first buckled membrane, the first buckled membrane has a buckling axis and is connected to the substrate. The first buckled membrane further includes a transduction material, a first conductor, the first conductor is applied to a first area of the transduction material; and a second conductor, the second conductor is applied to a second area of the transduction material, wherein electrical charge is harvested from the transduction material when the first buckled membrane is translated along the buckling axis.
