    • Expansion clamp 
      Fletcher, Leroy S. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1998-01-27)
      An expandable clamp of the type that is used within a channel to compress a planar member within that channel against a wall of that channel. The clamp has an expandable bladder of an elongated cylindrical shape and a valve ...
    • Heat transfer cylinder 
      Fletcher, Leroy S.; Peterson, George P., Jr. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992-06-09)
      A heat transfer method and apparatus are disclosed for transferring heat across a cylinder surface, in order to maintain the cylinder surface at a uniform temperature for drying, rolling or otherwise processing a work ...
    • Investigation of heat transfer characteristics and flow reversal phenomena in naturally convecting parallel/converging vertical channel flow 
      Kim, Jinhan (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)
      The natural convective heat transfer characteristics in parallel/converging vertical channel flows and the flow reversal phenomena in a vertical parallel channel were studied. A sophisticated nonintrusive measurement ...
    • Micro-heat-pipe catheter 
      Fletcher, Leroy S.; Peterson, George P. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993-03-02)
      A micro-heat-pipe catheter provides a hyperthermia or hypothermia source for the treatment of cancerous tumors or other diseased tissue. The heat-pipe is about the size of a hypodermic needle and is thermally insulated ...
    • Temperature control mechanisms for a micro heat pipe catheter 
      Peterson, George P.; Fletcher, Leroy S. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995-05-23)
      A catheter that provides precise temperature control is disclosed herein. The catheter may use a variety of passive heat pipe structures alone or in combination with feedback devices. The catheter is particularly useful ...
