Patents by Inventor David John Maloney

David John Maloney 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).

  • Patent number: 8677672
    Abstract: A bullet trap (1) is provided that connects to a muzzle end (5) of a weapon (3). The bullet trap (1) has a body (11) with a chamber (17) into which a bullet can be fired. The chamber (17) has a plurality of baffles (27) located one behind the other in an aligned series arrangement. The baffles (27) absorb kinetic energy of a fired bullet and enable the bullet to be trapped within the body (11). The baffles (27) have a thickness at a center of axis of travel of a bullet less than the thickness at a radially outwardly distant position to provide for a deformation at the center of a first of a series of baffles (27) before there will be engagement of a center of second and subsequent baffles (27).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 3, 2008
    Date of Patent: March 25, 2014
    Assignee: Thales Australia Limited

  • Patent number: 7528098
    Abstract: A residue remover for removing polymeric material and etch residue includes 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-ethanol and optionally another two-carbon atom linkage alkanolamine compound, gallic acid or catechol, water, a polar organic solvent, and hydroxylamine. A process for removing photoresist or other residue from a substrate, such as an integrated circuit semiconductor wafer including titanium metallurgy, includes the steps of contacting the substrate with the above composition for a time and at a temperature sufficient to remove the photoresist or other residue from the substrate. Use of 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-ethanol in the composition and process provides superior residue removal without attacking titanium or other metallurgy on the substrate. The composition preferably has a flash point greater than about 130° C.
