Patent number: 7814896Abstract: A kitchen range that includes a front panel, a rear panel, and a pair of opposed side panels. Each of the panels is connected to the front panel at a respective front corner. The range also includes a conduit configured to transport an airflow within the range. The opposed side panels can also include a front flange defining a channel. A channel wall is attached to each front flange. The channel wall is configured to enclose the sides of the channel to form a conduit. The conduit is configured to transport an airflow through the conduit.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2006Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Owens Corning Intellectual Capital, LLCInventors: Jacob T. Chacko, Stu Garick

Patent number: 7752889Abstract: An apparatus for determining the density of insulation in a cavity of a structure that senses a force of the insulation against the sensor. The force is used to determine the density of the insulation, which, in turn, is used to determine the thermal resistance or R-value of the insulation. The apparatus may include a fixture for supporting the sensor and holding the sensor in the substantially fixed position. A method for determining the density of loose-fill, blown-in-place insulation in a wall cavity by the use of a sensor is that measures a force exerted on the sensor by the insulation. The measured force is used to determine the density of the insulation. The thermal resistance of the insulation is determined from the known cavity depth and insulation density.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2006Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: OCIC Intellectual Capital, LLCInventors: Robert J. O'Leary, Steven G. Schmitt, Jacob T. Chacko

Patent number: 6928859Abstract: An apparatus for determining the density of insulation in a cavity of a structure includes a sensor that is held in a substantially fixed position relative to the insulation for sensing the force of the insulation against the sensor. The force is used to determine the density of the insulation, which, in turn, is used to determine the thermal resistance or R-value of the insulation. The apparatus may include a fixture for supporting the sensor and holding the sensor in the substantially fixed position. A method for determining the density of loose-fill, blown-in-place insulation comprises the step of providing a structure with a cavity having a known depth. The cavity is covered with netting and filled with insulation. A sensor is held in a substantially fixed position relative to the insulation to measure force exerted on the sensor by the insulation. The measured force is used to determine the density of the insulation.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2003Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Assignee: Owens Corning Fiberglas Technology, Inc.Inventors: Robert J.

Patent number: 6349518Abstract: A method of insulating an attic cavity includes assembling a plurality of trusses to define an attic cavity, the trusses having sloped top beams so that the attic cavity has a reduced height end portion at least one end of the trusses. A screen material is applied to the attic cavity at the reduced height end portion of the attic cavity. Loosefil insulation material is blown into the end portion of the attic cavity to insulate the end portion of the attic cavity. The remaining portion of the attic cavity is insulated.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1999Date of Patent: February 26, 2002Assignee: Owens Corning Fiberglas Technology, Inc.Inventor: Jacob T. Chacko
