Title: R David Fletcher: Innovator in Dielectric Welding and Medical Heat Exchange Technologies
Introduction
R David Fletcher is a notable inventor based in Surrey, Canada. He has made significant contributions to the fields of dielectric welding and medical heat exchange technologies. With a total of 2 patents, his work has the potential to impact various industries.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for dielectric welding methods and apparatus. This invention features opposed electrodes that can be engaged on either side of a product to be welded. It includes a dielectric welding power supply that supplies welding potentials to the electrodes. The apparatus is designed with electrically insulating buffer material adjacent to at least one of the electrodes. A recess formed in a surface of the buffer material receives an end of an electrically-conductive member in the product. This innovative design prevents arcing between the electrodes and the electrically-conductive member.
Another significant patent by R David Fletcher is for flexible heat exchangers suitable for medical cooling and warming applications. This flexible heat exchanger is designed to heat or cool living subjects effectively. It has a volume with at least one inlet for receiving a heat exchange fluid and at least one outlet. The heat exchange plate is essentially impermeable to the heat exchange fluid and is penetrated by substantially rigid thermally conductive members. These members provide paths of high thermal conductivity through the plate, allowing the heat exchange fluid, which may be water, to function efficiently.
