    Abstract: A two-phase cold plate that includes a manifold body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet each fluidly coupled to a fluid pathway housed within the manifold body and a vaporization structure housed within the manifold body such that the fluid pathway is disposed over the vaporization structure. The vaporization structure includes a cavity cover, a porous surface, a vapor cavity disposed between the cavity cover and the porous surface, and one or more porous feeding posts extending between the cavity cover and the porous surface. The one or more porous feeding posts fluidly coupled the fluid pathway with the porous surface of the vaporization structure and the porous surface includes a plurality of nucleation sites configured to induce vaporization of a cooling fluid and facilitate vapor flow into the vapor cavity of the vaporization structure.

    Abstract: A method of decomposing a cured aromatic epoxy resin uses a molten salt bath at less than about 350° C. The molten salt bath includes a plurality of alkali metal hydroxides. The cured aromatic epoxy resin can be in intimate physical contact with a metal or alloy. The cured aromatic epoxy resin can be patterned by a lithographic method. The lithographic method can be multibeam interference lithography to form a three-dimensional photonic crystal template on a conductive substrate for electrodeposition of metal. Contacting the three-dimensional photonic crystal template with the electrodeposited metal with the molten salt bath can form a metal matrix device displaying a periodic pattern that is the inverse of the periodic pattern of the decomposed three-dimensional photonic crystal template.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate a multi-mode heat transfer system. The heat transfer system includes an emitter device. The emitter device includes an inner core, a composite material pattern, and a surface coating pattern. The inner core is surrounded by an outer core having a thickness and an outer surface. The composite material pattern extends through at least a portion of the outer surface and at least a portion of the thickness of the outer core and is thermally coupled to the inner core. The surface coating pattern is on the outer surface and is changeable between a low emissivity state and a high emissivity state based on a surface temperature of the emitter device. In the low emissivity state, the emitter device transmits an omni-directional radiation and, in the high emissivity state, the emitter device transmits a focused radiation via the composite material pattern.

    Abstract: A ram chute assembly is provided for directing a flow of cooling air into a hollow wing structure of an aircraft. The ram chute assembly includes a ram chute body defining an interior passage, and an air inlet enabling an airflow from an exterior of the ram chute body into the interior passage. The assembly is structured to be attachable to an exterior of an engine nacelle so as to receive propeller wash air through the air inlet into the interior passage when a propeller of the engine nacelle is rotating. The ram chute assembly is also structured to discharge the propeller wash air in a direction toward an air intake opening formed in an upper surface of a hollow wing structure on which the engine nacelle is mounted.

    Abstract: A method to form a three-dimensional photonic crystal template with a gradient structure involves irradiating a photoresist composition of a thickness of at least 15 μm from at least four laser beams to yield a periodic patterned with a percolating matrix of mass in constructive volumes of a cured photoresist composition and destructive volumes of voids free of condensed matter where the proportion of constructive volume displays a gradient from the irradiated surface to the substrate after development. For a given light intensity, photoinitiator concentration in the photoresist composition, and a given thickness, by irradiating for a relatively short period, a three-dimensional photonic crystal template displaying a gradient having greater constructive volume proximal the air interface forms and a relatively long irradiation period results in a gradient having greater constructive volume proximal the substrate.
