Patent
Electroactive polymer devices for moving fluid
Ronald E. Pelrine,Roy D. Kornbluh,Scott E. Stanford,Qibing Pei,Richard Heydt,Joseph S. Eckerle,Jonathan R. Heim +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe devices for performing thermodynamic work on a fluid, such as pumps, compressors and fans, which may be used to provide a driving force for moving the fluid.
Patent
Electroactive polymer devices for controlling fluid flow
Jonathan R. Heim,Ron Pelrine,Roy D. Kornbluh,Joseph S. Eckerle,Marcus A. Rosenthal,Richard Heydt +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe devices for controlling fluid flow, such as valves, which include one or more transducers with an electroactive polymer that deflects in response to an application of an electric field.
Patent
Frictionless transport apparatus and method
Ron Pelrine,Jonathan R. Heim +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a frictionless transport apparatus for transporting an object from a first to a second station is described, which has a frame extending between the first and second stations and a carriage mounted for movement along said frame, in a levitated condition.
Patent
High-speed acrylic electroactive polymer transducers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an electroactive polymer actuator with acrylic dielectric material based transducers that can be applied in motor-driven applications, lightweight flight applications and lighting applications among others.
Patent
Compliant walled combustion devices for producing mechanical and electrical energy
TL;DR: In this article, a compliant combustion wall is configured to stretch responsive to pressure generated by combustion of a fuel in the combustion chamber and a coupling portion translates deformation of the compliant segment or wall into mechanical output.
