Latest Patents

Duperrier is credited with 1 patent, titled “Combined de-icing device.” The invention combines suction, pressure pulses, and localized electrothermal heating to remove ice from an aerodynamic profile. Its design uses a barrier placed over a lattice of partitions on the profile’s lower surface. Holes connect the cavities beneath the barrier to a negative-pressure source, drawing the barrier against the partitions, while other holes deliver pressure pulses to selected cavities. Resistive networks beneath the barrier provide localized heating in designated zones.
