Clinton L. Johnson 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).

  • Food product and coating
    Patent number: 11882862
    Abstract: The coating can have a low-sweetness perception. During manufacturing and processing, the coating maintains a flowability to allow a glaze state of the coating to be applied to a food. Upon cooling, the glaze state of the coating forms a glass state that provides a low-sweetness impact which facilitates application of savory taste perceptions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 19, 2022
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignee: Conagra Foods RDM, Inc.

  • Enhanced design for stringer runout terminations on composite panels
    Patent number: 11724791
    Abstract: A stringer runout configuration has a pair of fittings with each fitting having a fitting web that is configured for attachment to a stringer web of a stringer on opposite sides of a terminating end of the stringer. The stringer web has a terminating end with a curved configuration and base flanges with rounded terminating ends. Each fitting has a base flange that has a bottom surface with a first surface area and a second surface area positioned at different heights. The first surface area of each of the fittings is configured for attachment to a stringer base flange on opposite sides of a terminating end of the stringer. The second surface area of each of the fittings is configured for attachment to a composite panel surface adjacent the terminating end of the stringer. These and other detailed design features described herein enhance the capability of the runout configuration.
