Patent number: 11859384Abstract: A wall panel that has a reflective barrier of an aluminized biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BPET) between an OSB panel, and an industrial grade paper (which is pressed to look like natural wood grain). The aluminized BPET can be integrated into the industrial paper to become one sheet. This wall panel could be applied to interior paneling, drywall or gypsum board, as desired. Another option is to sandwich the aluminized BPET between the industrial paper and the reflective barrier, a layer of self-sealing asphalt. This makes the wall panel waterproof and airtight and helps to keep intact the engineered wood integrity. The aluminized BPET could go between a layer of insulation or particle board and its laminate. The panel's BPET should have a flap of an inch or so on one side to help with air sealing. This creates a barrier between varying temperatures, and adds an R value, and helps keep a building cool.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Inventors: Terence Naneng, William Naneng

Patent number: 11788175Abstract: Carbon fiber reinforced steel matrix composites have carbon fiber impregnated in the steel matrix and chemically bonded to the steel. Chemical bonding is shown by the presence of a unique amorphous carbon layer at the carbon fiber/steel interface, and by canting of steel crystal edges adjacent to the interface. Methods for forming carbon fiber reinforce steel composites include sintering steel nanoparticles around a reinforcing carbon fiber structure, thereby chemically bonding a sintered steel matrix to the carbon fiber. This unique bonding likely contributes to enhanced strength of the composite, in comparison to metal matrix composites formed by other methods.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.Inventors: Michael Paul Rowe, Nikhilendra Singh
