This invention focuses on the design of a fully interchangeable hub-droplet device apparatus for multiple droplet generation in parallel. The novel central hub combined with interchangeable chip configuration allows the use of different planar droplet generation devices that can be replaced and exchanged as needed. By separating the central housing hub which distributes incoming liquids into…

LLNL’s novel approach utilizes a number of techniques to improve reconstruction accuracy:
- Better coding scheme-based techniques
- Hardware-assisted techniques
- Adaptive fringe projection techniques
- Multi-exposure based techniques
The method requires specific calibration procedures and control of the hardware, which is achieved through a digital twin…

Versatile Cold Spray (VCS) enables deposition of brittle materials, such as thermoelectrics, magnets, and insulators, while retaining their functional properties. Materials can be deposited on substrates or arbitrary shapes with no requirement to match compositions. The VCS system is low cost, easily portable, and easy to use.
VCS has been developed in a collaboration between Lawrence Livermore…

Livermore researchers have developed a method of fabricating functional polymer-based particles by crosslinking UV-curable polymer drops in mid-air and collecting crosslinked particles in a solid container, a liquid suspension, or an air flow. Particles could contain different phases in the form or layered structures that contain one to multiple cores, or structures that are blended with…
