Glenn E. Lawson 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).

  • Aqueous based chemical and biological warfare decontaminating system for extreme temperature applications
    Patent number: 7829520
    Abstract: The current invention encompasses a microemulsion having environmentally safe components, the microemulsion exhibiting optical clarity and stability over a wide range of temperatures. The microemulsion also forms a part of a decontaminant solution for treating chemical and biological contaminant agents, the solution preferably containing peroxycarboxylic acids generated from solids as the primary decontamination agent. The solution is a single phase emulsion that is both stable and effective over a broad range of temperatures, the range extending well below 0° C. There is also disclosed a microemulsion decontaminate solution having components that stabilize the included solid and peroxycarboxylic acids.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of gap filling a conductive slip ring
    Patent number: 6266876
    Abstract: In a wrapped ring manufacturing process for slip ring assemblies, the assembly is heated to expand a gap between ends of the slip ring. A conductive material is then used to fill the expanded gap, to assure compression of the conductive material and to eliminate cracks therein. The filled gap is electroplated with a precious metal to form a layer of material of uniform hardness, wear resistance, electrical conductivity and environmental resistance around the entire perimeter of the slip ring.

  • Method of manufacturing an electrical slip ring base
    Patent number: 5745976
    Abstract: An electrical slip ring base is constructed of flexible and moldable or extrudible material so as to be capable of being formed into a variety of profiles or shapes. A rigid backing or hub stiffens or reinforces the base member. Any form of conductive rings can be used, and the base member can be formed to accommodate them.
