  • Composition and process for applying hydrophobic coating to fibrous substrates
    Patent number: 10919647
    Abstract: Fabrics are treated with a hydrophobic treatment that includes at least one hydrophobic monomer and a crosslinker. The treatment is low in volatile organic compounds and water. It is a liquid at 22° C. or a suspension having a phase that is liquid at 22° C. The monomer and crosslinker are cured in a free radical polymerization to form a hydrophobic coating on a fibrous substrate. The curing is performed by removing interstitial air from the fabric and then curing the fabric in a low oxygen environment without allowing it contact with oxygen or air from the time the interstitial air is removed until conversion of monomers reaches at least 50%.

  • Direct cooled rotary sputtering target
    Patent number: 9334563
    Abstract: A rotary deposition target bonded to a backing tube such that the bonding material is applied only at the ends of the rotary target to form a gap between the rotary target and the backing tube to enable a target cooling fluid used during the deposition process to contact the target directly and to provide a hermetic seal to contain the cooling fluid within the gap and prevent the fluid from being exposed to the environment within the deposition chamber.

  • Rotary target backing tube bonding assembly
    Patent number: 9011652
    Abstract: A rotary sputtering target bonded to a backing tube such that the bonding material is applied only proximate the ends of the rotary sputtering target and is also between the target and the backing tube to form a gap between the rotary sputtering target and the backing tube and a device for bonding a rotary sputtering target to a backing tube.
