*Abstract

Efficient Phase Changer Heat Transfer ContainerBRIEF DESCRIPTION:Traditional insulated do not naturally have phase change material. The issue being that it can take time to get into the optimum temperature range, and the mug has no ability to maintain this temperature range for longer than normal. The efficient phase change heat transfer container has the ability to absorb energy from the beverage to lower it with in an optimum range at faster rate, and then release that stored energy to keep it within that range for longer. This technology when combined with the slide-seal auto-lock result in a top of the line travel mug.POTENTIAL AREAS OF APPLICATIONS:• High quality travel mugs• Other beverage containersMAIN ADVANTAGES OF INVENTION:• Active cooling of scolding hot beverage• Maintained optimum drinking temperature• Easy use slide-seal auto-lock lid• Modular inserts for both hot and coldSTATE OF DEVELOPMENT:• Patent Pending LICENSING POTENTIAL:• University seeks licensee with the potential to commercializeINVENTOR(S):• Hongbin Ma• Michael Mervin• Hao BaiCONTACT INFO:Office of Technology Management & Industry Relations Wayne C.
