Patent number: 7670415Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced moisture vapor barrier performance for concrete-containing materials and surfaces are disclosed. Treatment modalities that include addition of the disclosed materials, compositions and systems to pre- and post-construction concrete-containing materials and surfaces are provided. Moisture vapor barrier properties are effected over an extended period of time as compared to control systems. The disclosed compositions and systems also yield reductions in the rate and/or impact of corrosion are achieved for concrete-containing structures and surfaces and, despite the water soluble properties of the compositions and systems, the treatments are effective in delivering an advantageous level of liquid moisture resistance to the treated concrete-containing structure and/or surface. The composition is synthesized from a feedstock that includes C9 to C16 branched hydrocarbons of varying structures.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2007Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Hycrete, Inc.Inventors: David Rosenberg, David C. Darwin, John de Mars, Eugene B. Humphrey, Todd B. Humphrey, legal representative, Michael S. Rhodes, Philip S. Rhodes, legal representative, Philip S. Rhodes, James R. Humphrey, Leonid Izrailev, John Wojakowski, Jason Tuerack

Patent number: 7513948Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced autogenous healing of cracks that are formed or are present in concrete-containing materials and surfaces are disclosed. Treatment modalities that include addition of the disclosed materials, compositions and systems to pre- and post-construction concrete-containing materials and surfaces are provided. Autogenous healing is effected at a greater rate and to a larger degree as compared to control systems. The disclosed compositions and systems also yield reductions in the rate and/or impact of corrosion are achieved for concrete-containing structures and surfaces and, despite the water soluble properties of the compositions and systems, the treatments are effective in delivering an advantageous level of moisture resistance to the treated concrete-containing structure and/or surface. The composition is synthesized from a feedstock that includes C9 to C16 branched hydrocarbons of varying structures.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2007Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Hycrete, Inc.Inventors: Todd B Humphrey, legal representative, Philip S. Rhodes, legal representative, Philip S. Rhodes, James R. Humphrey, Leonid Izrailev, David Rosenberg, John Wojakowski, Jason Tuerack, Eugene B. Humphrey, Michael S. Rhodes

Patent number: 7407535Abstract: Water soluble materials, compositions and systems for use in treating concrete-containing materials and surfaces are disclosed. Treatment modalities that include addition of the disclosed materials, compositions and systems to pre- and post-construction concrete-containing materials and surfaces are provided. Reductions in the rate and/or impact of corrosion are achieved for concrete-containing structures and surfaces. In addition, despite the water soluble properties of the material, composition or system, the treatments are effective in delivering an advantageous level of moisture resistance to the treated concrete-containing structure and/or surface. The composition is synthesized from a feedstock that includes C9 to C16 branched hydrocarbons of varying structures.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2006Date of Patent: August 5, 2008Assignee: Hycrete, Inc.Inventors: Todd B. Humphrey, legal representative, Philip S. Rhodes, legal representative, James R. Humphrey, Leonid Izrailev, David Rosenberg, John Wojakowski, Jason S. Tuerack, Eugene B. Humphrey, Michael S. Rhodes

Patent number: 5473116Abstract: A high-voltage anti-corona connector and method of use rely upon a hand-rtable wheel which is attachable to a threaded stud on a mounting flange for rapidly connecting and disconnecting an adaptor plate to a helix coil of a radio frequency transmit system. The handle of the wheel is ring shaped to preventing corona discharge from the area surrounding the connector.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1994Date of Patent: December 5, 1995Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: James R. Humphrey, Steven C. Tietsworth

Patent number: 4227860Abstract: The pitch of a rotating propeller blade is adjusted to selectively increase the pitch of the blade or to selectively decrease the pitch of the blade. The blade is connected to a rotating hub by bearings that allow the blade to change pitch. A two-direction D.C. motor mounted on the rotating hub is selectively energized to increase or decrease the pitch of the blade. A pair of sensors are mounted on the rotating hub at different distances from the hub's axis of rotation. The first sensor is adapted to generate a signal for energizing the motor in a first direction and increase the pitch of the blade. The second sensor is adapted to generate a signal for energizing the motor in a second direction and decrease the pitch of the blade.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1978Date of Patent: October 14, 1980Inventor: James R. Humphreys
