Patents by Inventor James Kleinmeyer

James Kleinmeyer 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: 7086846
    Abstract: An electro spinning process yields uniform, nanometer diameter polymer filaments. A thread-forming polymer is extruded through an anodically biased die orifice and drawn through an anodically biased electrostatic field. A continuous polymer filament is collected on a grounded collector. The polymer filament is linearly oriented and highly uniform in quality. The filament is particularly useful for weaving body armor, for chemical/biological protective clothing, as a biomedical tissue growth support, for fabricating micro sieves and for microelectronics fabrication.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 31, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 8, 2006

  • Patent number: 5530369
    Abstract: A digital sensor network scanner for use in monitoring resin flow and its re progress during a resin fabrication process in which a plurality of non-intersecting electrically conductive threads are arranged in a grid-like configuration with each sensor thread having a sensor input for a sensor data path so as to create a plurality of sensors is disclosed in which a first section of the scanner supplies time encoded pulses to the sensor input path. A second section of the sensor network scanner includes a plurality of detectors which are connected to the sensor data path as well as to a plurality of LEDs and which are also triggered by the same time encoded pulses applied to the sensor input path. When a sensor data path is in a conducting state, the applied time encoded pulses propagate down the sensor data path to the detector which, having simultaneously received a signal from both the network scanner and the sensor, illuminates the LED.
