High-efficiency light extraction structures and methods for solid-state lighting

A soft solder flowing into the recesses of a semiconductor thin film LED provides: (a) increased bonding strength and better mechanical durability, (b) improved heat dissipation, (c) enhanced light extraction when the LED film is bonded to a new carrier. Annealing localized islands of absorbing metal creates an ohmic contact. Those isolated islands are inter-connected by a layer of a highly reflective metal. This design enables a significant absorption reduction within the LED device and leads to a significant improvement of light extraction. Additionally, the light extraction efficiency of an isotropic light emitting device is improved via surface shaping of the device by a 2D-array of micro-lenses and photonic band gap structure. For manufacturability purpose the making of micron-size lenses of the surface of the chip may preferably be performed as a final step, preferably with optical lithography.

The microcavity has reflectors on each side. In one embodiment, a planar Fabry-Perot microcavity is used with deep Si / SiO2 Bragg reflectors. Carriers may be laterally confined in the microcavity region by employing deep etched lateral trenches. The refractive index of the microcavity is varied by using the free-carrier dispersion effect produced by a p-i-n diode formed about the microcavity.

Titanium alloy based dispersion-strengthened composites

Titanium based metal matrix composites reinforced with ceramic particulate are well known, based on a blend of titanium alloy powders with ceramic powders, e.g., aluminum oxide powders, utilizing a low energy ball milling process, followed by cold compacting and sintering to produce an appropriate composite. This prior art process is disadvantaged from the point of view that there are virtually no particles in the blend below the micrometer size range, which lack has a deleterious effect on the subsequent processing of the composite. This problem has been overcome by utilizing dry high energy intensive milling in the process, which has the effect of providing the necessary number of small particles below the micrometer size range as well as enhancing the reactivity of different particles with one another. In order to produce a titanium base alloy alumina metal matrix composite, titanium dioxide powder is blended with aluminum powder and subjected to dry high energy intensive milling until the separate particle phases achieve a size of 500 nanometers maximum. The intermediate powder product is then heated to form the titanium alloy / amumina metal matrix composite in which the ceramic particles have an average diameter of no more than 3 mu, and the oxide consists of more than 10% and less than 60% by volume fraction of the total composite. The composites have extensive application to tough and strong engineering alloys.

Silicon Oxide (SiO) Anode Enabled by a Conductive Polymer Binder and Performance Enhancement by Stabilized Lithium Metal Power (SLMP)

Silicon alloys have the highest specific capacity when used as anode material for lithium-ion batteries, however, the drastic volume change inherent in their use causes formidable challenges toward achieving stable cycling performance. Large quantities of binders and conductive additives are typically necessary to maintain good cell performance.

Fire Suppression Using Water Mist with Ultrafine Size Droplets

An improved method and apparatus for producing an extremely fine micron and sub-micron size water mist using an electronic ultrasonic device that produces the mist at ambient-pressure and delivering the mist for application in suppressing fire. A piezoelectric transducer is arranged to produce a water mist having at least a portion of sub-micron size droplets. The water mist is produced by high frequency pressure waves or ultrasonic waves of predetermined or variable frequency, including frequencies which may exceed 2.5 MHz. The water mist is directed to a firebase to be self-entrained by the fire's flame. The momentum provided the water mist in directing the mist is minimized to enhance the ability of the fire to entrain the mist, and the flow of the carrier medium is usually directed tangentially about the water fountain creating the mist. Further, the throughput and concentration of the mist is controlled to ensure that the entrained mist will be sufficient to cool and suppress the fire. The water mist may be effectively utilized for mitigating blast and reducing over pressures. The fine water mist may also be utilized for humidification because of its fast vaporization and efficient cooling behavior. The apparatus may be modified in its physical design and direction of output, and the method may be modified by adjusting the throughput of mist, composition of mist, concentration of mist, and momentum of mist, whereby fire may be suppressed under many different scenarios.
