Richard K. Elton has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 5036165
    Abstract: A semi-conducting pyrolyzed glass fiber layer equalizes the electrical potential on the exterior surface of an insulated conductor when the layer covers the surface. The layer prohibits the development of a corona discharge and bleeds off any electrical charge developed thereon when the layer is electrically coupled to a body having a known potential. The insulated conductor may be windings in a dynamoelectric machine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 23, 1990
    Date of Patent: July 30, 1991
    Assignee: General Electric Co.
    Inventors: Richard K. Elton, William R. Schultz, Jr.

  • Patent number: 4724345
    Abstract: A process for electrodepositing mica and a water soluble anionic resin binder, such as a modified polyester resin, is disclosed as a means for applying a heavy coating of a high-voltage, mica-bearing electrical insulation onto uninsulated and porous mica tape-insulated portions of electrical connections in dynamoelectric machines. The electrodeposited mica coating is subsequently impregnated with a suitable resin, such as an epoxy or polyester resin, concurrently with the impregnation of other conventional insulations in the machine. Alternatively, deposition and impregnation of the connection insulation can be performed prior to installing the connection into the machine.

  • Patent number: 4510077
    Abstract: A semiconductive material which is formed by impregnating glass fibers or glass fabric with an organic material which is pyrolyzed in the substantial absence of oxygen and at a temperature which is above the pyrolysis temperature of the organic material, but below the boiling point or sublimation temperature of the organic material. By such pyrolysis, the organic compound is converted to substantially pure carbon deposited on the glass fibers which impart to the glass fibers semiconductive characteristics.
