Latest Patents
Ellen Meeks' latest patents include a "System and method for flame blow-off determination." This invention provides efficient and reliable tools for determining the lean blow-off conditions for various combustion systems. By utilizing localized characteristics within a flame-holding region, users can assess the likelihood of flame blow-off with fine granularity within a combustor. The flame blow-off determination may be aided by an output representation that provides a contour of likely blow-off cells within a combustor region.
Another notable patent is for "Sealable stagnation flow geometries for the uniform deposition of materials and heat." This invention employs a constrained stagnation flow geometry apparatus to achieve uniform deposition of materials or heat. It maximizes uniform fluxes of reactant gases to flat surfaces while minimizing the use of reagents and finite dimension edge effects. This results in large area continuous films that are uniform in thickness, composition, and structure, which is crucial in chemical vapor deposition processes, such as those used for semiconductor fabrication.
