Abstract
A device, having: a base having an outer boundary and a plurality of base voids, formed from a first material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE); beads that line ones of the base voids, formed from a second material having a second CTE that differs from the first CTE, wherein each of the beads has a bead void; and a thermoelectric junction around the outer boundary, or within one or more of the bead voids.
Claims13
A device, comprising:
- a base having an outer boundary and a plurality of base voids, formed from a first material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE);
- beads that line ones of the base voids, formed from a second material having a second CTE that differs from the first CTE, wherein each of the beads has a bead void;
- and
- a thermoelectric junction around the outer boundary, or within one or more of the bead voids.

A device comprising:
- a base, formed from a first material having a first CTE, that extends in a first direction from first side to a second side and in a second direction from a first end to a second end;
- and
- a thermoelectric junction disposed between the first and second sides, so that the thermoelectric junction extends between the first and second ends, to thereby define:
- a first layer of the base that is between the thermoelectric junction and the first side of the base;
- and a second layer of the base that is between the thermoelectric junction and the second side of the base.
