Publication number: 20150217370Abstract: Lubricant composition and related methods and apparatus for manufacturing a green compact in a die cavity during a powder metallurgy operation wherein the lubricant composition includes a first component and a second component. The first component has a starting phase, an active phase, and a transition temperature at which at least part of the first component changes state from the starting phase to the active phase. Upon contact with wall surfaces of the die cavity, the first component transitions from the starting phase to the active phase, and the second component adheres to the active phase of the first component to form a lubrication layer coating the die wall surfaces. The component may be a first solid particulate component, such as polymeric particulate material or a sugar, or a first gaseous component, such as water vapor or palm oil vapor, respectively able to melt or condense upon contact with die cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2013Publication date: August 6, 2015Inventor: Patrick Lemieux

Patent number: 7510766Abstract: A magnetic composite for AC applications with improved magnetic properties (i.e. low hysteresis losses and low eddy current losses) is disclosed. The composite comprises a consolidation of magnetizable metallic microlamellar particles each having a top and bottom surfaces and opposite ends. The top and bottom surfaces are coated with a dielectric coating for increasing the resistivity of the composite and reducing eddy current losses. The dielectric coating is made of a refractory material and the ends of the lamellar particles are metallurgically bonded to each other to reduce hysteresis losses of the composite. A process for manufacturing the same is also disclosed. The composite is suitable for manufacturing devices for AC applications such as transformers, stator and rotor of motors, generators, alternators, field concentrators, chokes, relays, electromechanical actuators, synchroresolvers, etc.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2004Date of Patent: March 31, 2009Assignee: Corporation Imfine Inc.Inventor: Patrick Lemieux

Patent number: 7068299Abstract: A method and system for visual configuration of a video call represents video devices as graphical icons presented through a user interface. A directed graph relates the graphical icons to represent the configuration of the video devices in the video call and ensures that compatible video devices establish a valid video configuration by prohibiting invalid video call configurations. The user interface interacts with a video network platform that schedules and initiates video calls according to video call configurations. Video device types, identification, and configuration parameters are depicted along with state information for a video call to allow monitoring and correction of failures that may occur.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2001Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Tandberg Telecom ASInventors: James Patrick Lemieux, Kurtis L.
