Patents by Inventor Drew T. HAVEN

Drew T. HAVEN 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).

  • Transparent composite having a laminated structure
    Patent number: 11047650
    Abstract: Novel transparent composites have been developed that have relatively lower areal densities of conventional transparent composites, where the composites are tested for the same threat levels as specified in the NIT or STANAG standards. Particular transparent composites can withstand projectiles having relatively high kinetic energy, for example, using STANAG 4 testing conditions. Further, the novel transparent composites can withstand multiple hits using Multiple Hit Testing at a STANAG 2 threat level.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 29, 2021
    Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN CERAMICS & PLASTICS, INC.
    Inventors: Drew T. Haven, Charles Wooddell, David J. Weeden
  • Transparent ceramic with complex geometry
    Patent number: 10875812
    Abstract: A ceramic product includes a transparent ceramic panel having a non-planar geometry including a bend having a slippage plane, an increased haze, a non-uniform thickness, or a combination thereof. A method includes providing a transparent ceramic panel, heating the panel, bending the panel to conform to a non-planar geometry.
