Patent number: 10626084Abstract: A method and a continuous process for producing two isocyanates by reacting a first amine with phosgene in a stoichiometric excess in the gas phase to produce a first isocyanate. The excess phosgene is subsequently recovered and recirculated back to react with a second amine to produce a second isocyanate. In an embodiment, both fresh and recycled phosgene may be used in reacting each respective amine to produce an isocyanate. The amine streams contain two different concentrations of hydrogen chloride: one may be between 0.0 and 0.1%, and another may be between 1 and 5% by weight.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Covestro LLCInventors: Amber Hicks, Kevin Kelleher, William Hassell, Wingwah Lau

Publication number: 20170156920Abstract: An ostomy pouching system comprises a fixing plate and a bag having an opening, the fixing plate comprising a central hole for receipt of a stoma, a base layer bearing a first major surface and formed of a flexible tacky material and an upper layer bearing the second major surface and formed of a material that is harder than the base layer. The central hole has a perimeter that is smaller than a perimeter of a stoma, in which at least a portion of the first major surface that surrounds the central hole comprises a resiliently deformable region capable of stretching to form a neck region that in use conforms to a sidewall of the stoma when the stoma protrudes through the central hole. The system comprises a belt for attaching the fixing plate to the patient's body, the belt having a central hole configured to receive a stoma and a surrounding surface configured to abut the fixing plate with the base layer disposed against one face of the belt and the upper layer disposed against an opposite face of the belt.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Applicant: University of LimerickInventors: Rhona Hunt, Kevin KELLEHER, Leon Michael CAVANAGH

Patent number: 7823969Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is directed to a seat caddy having a single manipulation point for manipulating the fitting of the seat caddy to a suitable seat, such as a stadium seat or a lawn chair. Having a single adjustment point allows a user to more easily adjust and manipulate the seat caddy when engaging or disengaging a stadium seat and the like. Such a seat caddy allows for a simple cinching or uncinching of an adjustable cord when setting or removing the seat caddy when being used.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2006Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: KB CreationsInventor: Kevin Kelleher

Patent number: 7802845Abstract: A seat caddy having at least one rear member suitable to engage a bench. According to one embodiment of the subject matter disclosed herein, typically two bench-engaging members are rotatably attached to the bottom rear of a seat cushion such that when rotated into an engagement position, the bench-engaging members may secure the seat cushion from moving, sliding or rotating away from an optimal bench position. Further, a storage bag may be removably attached to the bottom front of the seat cushion, such that the storage bag hangs from the front of the seat cushion and provides an additional securing force for maintaining the seat caddy position when engaged with a seat.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2007Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: KB CreationsInventor: Kevin Kelleher

Publication number: 20020163597Abstract: A high resolution, multi-tile video display system is described. The universal display system can effectively produce high-resolution images from data received from both analog devices and digital devices such as televisions, personal digital assistants, and computer systems. Generally, the video display system includes a computer system that receives data from several digital data sources. The computer system generates numerous video signals after processing the data. An interface circuit generates display signals after processing the video signals. The display signals correspond to a fractional portion of the high-resolution image. Several displays receive the display signals. After processing the display signals, the displays jointly produce the high-resolution image.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2001Publication date: November 7, 2002Inventors: Kevin Kelleher, Keith J.

Patent number: 5557297Abstract: A system and method for processing analog XYZ calligraphic video signals for presentation as a stroke image on a flat panel LCD raster display screen by converting such signals in coordinated sets to digital data in a stroke frame buffer memory. The X and Y signals define column and row addresses in memory for storage of the coordinated Z digital color brightness data, which addresses correspond to pixel locations on the surface of the display screen to which the data is transferred to form the stroke image. By storing fractional bits from the X and Y digital data in the buffer memory along with the coordinated color intensity data a high resolution stroke image can be formed using a conventional sized buffer memory. Further, noise and clock conversion artifacts are minimized by saving the first point of each stroke line or vector and by using the X and Y fractional bits for beam shaping utilizing anti-aliasing discs.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1994Date of Patent: September 17, 1996Assignee: Smiths IndustriesInventors: Daniel Sharp, Jayanti Patel, Kevin Kelleher
