Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "System and method for treating surfaces of components." This invention involves a system for coating surfaces of a workpiece, which includes a biasing system connected to the workpiece and an anode that negatively biases the workpiece relative to the anode. A vacuum source evacuates the interior of the workpiece, while a gas supply introduces a gas containing a treatment material. A control system manages the biasing system, vacuum source, and gas supply to establish a hollow cathode effect within the workpiece. The system is designed to accommodate various shaped and sized workpieces, ensuring versatility during the deposition process.
Another notable patent is the "Method and system for coating sections of internal surfaces." This invention presents a method for coating the internal surfaces of a localized area of a workpiece. Conductive structures are inserted into openings of the workpiece to define the section to be coated. A bias voltage is connected to the workpiece section, functioning as a cathode. The flow control system allows for gas inlet and vacuum exhaust, ensuring that only the designated section is coated. This innovative approach enhances the efficiency of the coating process.
