Title: Innovations of Ashish V Pattekar
Introduction
Ashish V Pattekar is a notable inventor based in Bethlehem, PA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of microreactor technology and micro-fluidic systems. With a total of 2 patents, his work focuses on innovative methods for hydrogen production and fluidic interconnections.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Micro-fluidic interconnector." This invention describes a method of bonding a capillary tube made of a thermally deformable material to a passage in a glass wafer. The process involves treating the surface of the capillary tube to make it bondable and wettable by a conventional epoxy resin. It also includes inserting a support inside the capillary to prevent inward deformation during fabrication, heating the capillary's end to create a temporary seal, and introducing epoxy to bind the capillary to the wafer.
Another significant patent is the "Microreactor and method of use to produce hydrogen by methanol reforming." This microreactor is designed for carrying out methanol reforming to produce hydrogen. It features a network of catalyst-packed parallel microchannels with dimensions ranging from 400 to 1000 micrometers. The microreactor utilizes micromachining techniques, such as photolithography and deep-reactive ion etching (DRIE), to fabricate a catalyst particle filter near the outlet. The design allows for high efficiency, achieving a methanol to hydrogen molar conversion of at least 85% to 90%, sufficient to supply hydrogen to an 8 to 10 Watt fuel cell.
