Title: Kurt Douglas Roberts: Innovator in Thin-Film Technologies

Introduction

Kurt Douglas Roberts is a notable inventor based in Raleigh, NC (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of thin-film technologies, holding a total of 6 patents. His innovative work has paved the way for advancements in heating devices and light-emitting diode systems.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is a thin-film heating device. This device includes a base layer, a bus bar layer, and an electrode layer. The base layer consists of a polymeric resistive layer, which contains conductive filler, in contact with a polymeric dielectric layer. The polymeric resistive layer has a sheet resistance ranging from about 0.5 ohm/square to about 2 Megaohm/square. The bus bar layer is adhered to the polymeric dielectric layer of the base layer and includes a first patterned conductive material. The electrode layer, which includes a second patterned conductive material, is electrically connected to the bus bar layer.

Another significant patent involves three-dimensional light-emitting diode systems. This invention features a flexible layered structure that includes a flexible top conductive layer, a flexible bottom heat sink layer, and a flexible dielectric middle layer. The combination has a longitudinal axis with a plurality of defined positions spaced along it. These defined positions can be utilized for aligning a circuit and/or for placing LED lights. The flexible layered structure can be easily bent to form an LED substrate, allowing light to shine in multiple directions while efficiently dissipating heat generated by the LEDs.
