Title: Scott A Cooper: Innovator in Thin Film Heating Technology

Introduction

Scott A Cooper is a notable inventor based in Salinas, CA (US), recognized for his contributions to the field of thin film heating technology. With a total of two patents to his name, Cooper has developed innovative solutions that enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of heating systems.

Latest Patents

Cooper's latest patents include a "Structure and method to compensate for thermal edge loss in thin film heaters." This invention features a thin film heater that incorporates at least two open regions along the edges of the thin film material, which are parallel to the edges of the underlying substrate. These open regions expose areas of the substrate, improving the uniformity of heat generated across the thin film material when electrical power is applied. The substrate can be either planar or curved, and the design allows for enhanced thermal performance.

Another significant patent is the "Thin film tubular heater." This invention consists of a tubular thin film resistance heater that includes a substrate with an electrically non-conductive surface. A thin film electrical conductor, such as tin oxide, is deposited on this surface. The design features a pair of electrical terminals, preferably bus bars, connected at spaced locations on the conductor. The molecular bonding of the thin film conductor to the substrate ensures durability and efficient heat transfer.
