  • Fatigue-resistant coating for metal forming members
    Patent number: 10550477
    Abstract: A composite coating for a metal forming member includes a first layer disposed on said metal forming member. The first layer includes chromium nitride doped with at least one dopant such as tungsten. A second layer is disposed atop said first layer, said second layer including a lubricious material having a coefficient of friction of less than or equal to 0.2 as measured against low alloy steel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 12, 2013
    Date of Patent: February 4, 2020
    Assignee: IHI Ionbond AG.
    Inventors: Bernard J. Janoss, George Savva, Christopher S. Flattery, Antonius Petrus Arnoldus Hurkmans

  • Electrical overstress protection apparatus and method
    Patent number: 5483407
    Abstract: An electrical overstress protection apparatus and method includes the provision of an overstress element (22) comprised of a lamination including a conducting ground path (26) and a dielectric sheet (30) engaging discrete signal paths (16) connected to contacts (44), the sheet (30) containing holes (32) or pores or thread or fiber interstices filled with an electrical overstress protection material (36) with the sheet thickness and hole area in conjunction with area of signal and ground paths and characteristics of the material adapted to provide breakdown and clamping voltages via a path to ground from signal contacts to ground to protect components from excessive voltage levels. Electrical connectors (40,40', 40") incorporate the apparatus in different embodiments of housing (42,42') and contact (44) configurations.
