Patents by Inventor Aimee Poda

Aimee Poda has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Chemical vapor deposition methods for making powders and coatings, and coatings made using these methods
    Patent number: 7351449
    Abstract: Flame produced vapors for combustion chemical vapor deposition are redirected from the direction of the flame by differential atmospheric pressure, such as positive pressure provided by a blower or negative pressure provided by a vacuum. This allows, for example, lower surface temperatures of substrates being coated with flame-produced vapors and coating of interior surfaces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2000
    Date of Patent: April 1, 2008
    Assignee: n Gimat Co.
    Inventors: Andrew T. Hunt, Girish N. Deshpande, Tzyy-Jiuan Jan Hwang, Nii Sowa Laye, Miodrag Oljaca, Subramaniam Shanmugham, Shara S. Shoup, Trifon Tomov, William J. Dalzell, Jr., Aimee Poda, Michelle Hendrick
  • Polymer coatings
    Patent number: 6939576
    Abstract: Coatings, particularly thin films, of polymeric material are produced in accordance with the invention by applying a finely divided aerosol of polymer solution to a substrate and substantially simultaneously applying an energy source to the applied solution to apply the solution. In cases where the polymer is cross-linking, the energy source assists in cross-linking of the polymer. The preferred energy source is a flame that may optionally or desirably deposit material along with the polymer spray. One particular aspect of the invention is directed to production of polyimide films. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the co-deposition process is used to provide thin polysiloxane coatings on glass and other substrates.

  • Polymer coatings
    Publication number: 20030215644
    Abstract: Coatings, particularly thin films, of polymeric material are produced in accordance with the invention by applying a finely divided aerosol (N) of polymer solution to a substrate (30) and substantially simultaneously applying an energy source (38) to the applied solution to apply the solution. In cases where the polymer is cross-linking, the energy source assists in cross-linking of the polymer. The preferred energy source is a flame (38) that may optionally or desirably deposit material along with the polymer spray. One particular aspect of the invention is directed to production of polyimide films. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the co-deposition process is used to provide thin polysiloxane coatings on glass and other substrates.
