Patent number: 6833102Abstract: According to the present invention, a manifold mounting arrangement is provided wherein a leg manifold is securely mounted midway along its length rather than at its sprue bushing and whereby thermally induced length changes are accommodated outwardly from its centre. Additionally, a first end of the leg manifold is clampingly secured between a sprue housing and a manifold insulator to avoid movement of the first end toward the sprue upon a sprue break portion of the injection moulding cycle.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2002Date of Patent: December 21, 2004Assignee: StackTeck Systems LTDInventors: Filippo Martino, Vincent Travaglini, Gary Fong, Kyung-Tae Lee

Patent number: 6798644Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor with improved ESR before and after mounting on a circuit board is obtained by forming a cathode on a dielectric layer using a conductive polymer, especially an intrinsically conductive polymer. The polymer is then coated with graphetized carbon by dipping in a suspension thereof. After drying, the carbon is infused and coated at least once with a second conductive polymer layer before a conductive paint such as “dipping silver” is applied and the capacitor encapsulated by a transfer molding process. The application of a second conductive polymer layer improves the ESR by filling voids in the carbon layer and improves adhesion of the carbon.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2003Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Kemet Electronics CorporationInventors: James L. Piller, Philip Michael Lessner, Randolph Stephen Hahn, Carole C. Eppes, Kimberly Lynn Pritchard

Patent number: 6574123Abstract: A power supply for an electrostatic air filtration unit includes an input stage, an isolation stage and an output stage. The isolation stage electrically isolates the output stage from the input stage. The output stage includes an output amplifier driven through the isolation stage by the oscillator. The output stage further includes a voltage regulator to inhibit the output voltage from exceeding a predetermined maximum voltage. The output of the power supply is insensitive to over-voltage swings in the input power to inhibit spark-over induced damage to the power supply. The power supply is encased in a resin to extend the operational life of the power supply by inhibiting tampering and intrusion of water, and enhancing resistance to corrosion and microbial damage.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2001Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: Engineering Dynamics LTDInventors: Forwood Cloud Wiser, III, George Robert Summers
