Publication number: 20240158567Abstract: Syndio-rich P3HB (sr-P3HB), readily synthesized from the eight-membered meso-dimethyl diolide, has a unique set of stereomicrostructures comprising enriched syndiotactic [rr] and no isotactic [mm] triads but abundant stereo-defects randomly distributed along the chain. This sr-P3HB material is characterized by high toughness (UT=96 MJ/m3), as a result of its high elongation at break (>400%) and tensile strength (34 MPa), crystallinity (Tm=114° C.), and optical clarity (due to its sub-micron spherulites), and good barrier properties, while it still biodegrades in freshwater and soil. On the other hand, iso-rich P3HB (ir-P3HB) can be synthesized from the eight-membered rac-dimethyl diolide. While sr-P3HB exhibits excellent adhesion strength toward a variety of substrates, both sr-P3HB and ir-P3HB can substantially toughen brittle stereoperfect biological or synthetic P3HB. Both sr-P3HB and ir-P3HB can also be obtained from the four-membered rac-beta-butyrolactone with appropriate catalysts.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Eugene CHEN, Ethan QUINN, Zhen ZHANG

Patent number: 11802367Abstract: An air filtration system for a laundry apparatus includes an air-lint inlet forming an interior volume configured to fluidically couple to a tumbler of the laundry apparatus and extending to an end portion. The system further includes a lint-collection reservoir coupled to the air-lint inlet configured to hold a liquid at a level, wherein the air-lint inlet extends into the lint-collection reservoir. The system further includes an outlet conduit in fluid connection with the air-lint collection reservoir. The outlet conduit is configured to expel filter air from the air-lint collection reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2019Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Whirlpool CorporationInventors: Victor A. Moniz, Daniel Eugene Quinn, Justin William Sampson, Bruce R. Villella

Patent number: 11594444Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a susceptor having a generally circular body having a face with a radially inward section and a radially outward section which includes a substrate supporting surface elevated relative to the radially inward section. A sidewall surrounds the substrate supporting surface which upon retention of a substrate on the radially outward section, the sidewall surrounds the substrate. The sidewall includes a plurality of humps which protrude from the top surface of the sidewall. Advantageously, the plurality of humps may aid in even thickness of deposition of material at the edge of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: ASM IP Holding, B.V.Inventors: Matthew Goodman, Thomas John Kirschenheiter, Kevin Eugene Quinn

Publication number: 20070055560Abstract: A problem faced by many businesses is a lack of resources necessary to hire competent professional assistance. This is particularly problematic for individuals, inventors, sole proprietors, entrepreneurs, start-ups and small businesses. The present invention advantageously enables the professional review of any number of different types of documents, including but not limited to: patent, trademark and copyright applications, business plans, incorporation agreements, governance documents, white papers, marketing reports, quarterly and annual reports, tax returns, employment agreements, non-compete agreements, intellectual property agreements and assignments, licenses, confidentiality agreements and employment contracts, and employee handbooks and policies. Furthermore, the present invention also allows for the professional review to be relatively quick, competent and thorough.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2006Publication date: March 8, 2007Inventor: Eugene Quinn
