Patent number: 11986379Abstract: A composite includes a first substrate and a second substrate joined in a bonding region, wherein the first substrate comprises a first Peak Force Tensile Strength and the second Peak Force Tensile Strength. The first Peak Force Tensile Strength is greater than or equal to the second Peak Force Tensile Strength. The bonding region has a Bond Density of about 10% to about 22%; and a Composite Tensile Strength at Peak Force that is within about 15% of the second Peak Force Tensile Strength.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2023Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Ray Dennis Dria, Michael Joseph Page, Joseph Leslie Grolmes, Scott Alan King, Matthew Steven Ritter, Christopher Colin Arp

Publication number: 20240152659Abstract: A method of modifying a CAD system model performed on a data processing system includes receiving a dataset of co-ordinates representing an article in 2d, or in 3d and receiving 2d or 3d constraints respectively, to be applied to any changes to the dataset of co-ordinates for the article. A modification to be applied to the dataset is received and combined with the relevant 2d and 3d constraints to produce a constrained modification for each of the article and associated article. The constrained modification is solved in 2d and in 3d to determine whether a solution exists in which all constraints are met. If the solve is successful, the constrained modification is applied to each dataset simultaneously and, updated datasets are stored. If the solve fails, the constraints may be reduced and the solve step repeated, or the process is terminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Siemens Industry Software Inc.Inventors: Michael John Gibbens, Douglas Joseph King, Howard Charles Duncan Mattson

Publication number: 20200025955Abstract: The present specification discloses methods for inspecting an object. The method includes scanning an object in a two-step process. In the primary scan, a truck or cargo container (container) is completely scanned with a fan beam radiation, the transmitted radiation is measured with an array of detectors, and the transmission information and optionally the fission signatures are analyzed to determine the presence of high-density, high-Z and fissionable materials. If the container alarms in one or more areas, the areas are subjected to a secondary scan. This is done by precisely repositioning the container to the location of the suspect areas, adjusting the scanning system to focus on the suspect areas, performing a stationary irradiation of the areas, and analyzing the measured feature signatures to clear or confirm the presence of SNM.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2018Publication date: January 23, 2020Inventors: Tsahi Gozani, Joseph Bendahan, Michael Joseph King, Timothy John Shaw, John David Stevenson

Publication number: 20180036092Abstract: A package for a medical device includes a blister having a base and a plurality of walls extending from the base with the base and the walls defining a cavity for receiving the medical device. The blister includes a first thermoplastic polyurethane or a combination of the first thermoplastic polyurethane and polyethylene terephthalate glycol. The package also includes a lid disposed on the blister and at least partially covering the cavity. The lid has outer and inner surfaces and includes a high density polyethylene. The package further includes an insert disposed on and in direct contact with the inner surface of the lid and facing the cavity. The insert includes a second thermoplastic polyurethane for increasing puncture resistance of the lid from the medical device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2017Publication date: February 8, 2018Inventors: David R.

Patent number: 9329285Abstract: The present invention provides a gamma-neutron detector based on mixtures of thermal neutron absorbers that produce heavy-particle emission following thermal capture. In one configuration, B-10 based detector is used in a parallel electrode plate geometry that integrates neutron moderating sheets, such as polyethylene, on the back of the electrode plates to thermalize the neutrons and then detect them with high efficiency. The moderator can also be replaced with plastic scintillator sheets viewed with a large area photomultiplier tube to detect gamma-rays as well. The detector can be used in several scanning configurations including portal, drive-through, drive-by, handheld and backpack, etc.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2015Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: Rapiscan Systems, Inc.Inventors: Tsahi Gozani, Michael Joseph King, Donald Bennett Hilliard, Joseph Bendahan, William Gerhardus Johannes Langeveld

Publication number: 20130071593Abstract: This disclosure provides an insulating member for covering a conduit in a clean room. The insulating member typically has a length and defines a cavity extending along the length. The cavity is sized and shaped to receive the conduit. The insulating member typically includes an innermost layer that may be a closed cell fluoropolymer foam and is disposed to contact the conduit. The insulating member also typically includes an outermost layer that is disposed on the innermost layer and that may be a second fluoropolymer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: March 21, 2013Inventors: Ronald MacNeill, Tuna Sava, Michael Joseph King

Publication number: 20120155592Abstract: The present specification discloses a system for detecting nuclear material based on at least one source of probing radiation and the radiation signatures generated from interrogating an object under inspection. In addition, the present specification describes a threshold-activation detector capable of detecting prompt neutrons, via the activation, after the source's blinding radiation has stopped. The threshold-activation detector can be manufactured from liquid fluorocarbons that allow for the detection of beta radiation and gamma rays.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2011Publication date: June 21, 2012Inventors: Tsahi Gozani, Michael Joseph King, Timothy John Shaw, John David Stevenson
