Patent number: 8821631Abstract: A packaged concrete additive includes ground, expanded perlite with a volume weighted mean particle size of approximately 10-100 ?m. The perlite optionally includes at least one additional component to improve workability and compensate for the natural tendency of expanded perlite to absorb water from the concrete mix. The additional component can include: water; a superplasticizer such as polycarboxylates, naphthalene sulfonate, and melamine sulfonate; or a hydrophobic compound, such as salts of fatty acids, fatty acids, silanes, and siloxanes. The additive is a flowable powder and for convenience of use it is packaged in a bag that can be directly added to the concrete batch and disappears on mixing. Concrete containing this additive displays superior properties to conventional concrete. Expanded perlite is a readily available raw material and the finished concrete is suitable where high strength structural concrete must withstand high temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2014Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: CenterStar, Inc.Inventors: Terry L.

Patent number: 8758503Abstract: A concrete additive includes expanded perlite with a volume weighted mean particle size of approximately 10-100 ?m. The perlite further includes at least one additional component to improve workability and compensate for the natural tendency of expanded perlite to absorb water from the concrete mix. The additional component can include: water; a superplasticizer such as polycarboxylates, naphthalene sulfonate, and melamine sulfonate; or a hydrophobic compound such as salts of fatty acids, fatty acids, silanes, and siloxanes. The additive can be made in the form of a flowable powder or a flowable slurry. Concrete containing this additive displays superior properties to conventional concrete, including extremely high thermal resistance and high strength, low chloride ion permeability, and good early strength. The expanded perlite is a readily available raw material and the finished concrete is extremely cost effective for applications where a high strength structural concrete must withstand high temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2013Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: CenterStar, Inc.Inventors: Terry L.

Each of the side idlers includes an idler roller having a shaft which extends upwardly and outwardly through inner and outer bearings which are secured to a bearing bracket housing which is operatively secured to the associated side wall. The upper outer end of the shaft has an annular groove formed therein. A set screw extends through the inner ring of the outer bearing and extends into the annular groove in the shaft. A set screw extends through the inner ring of the inner bearing for frictional engagement with the shaft. A fender washer is secured to the outer end of the shaft.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2011Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Enduro Systems, Inc.Inventors: Terry L. Anderson, Paul J.

Patent number: 8171754Abstract: A cooling bushing flange having a reduced amount of precious metal is provided for a glass fiber production apparatus. The flange includes a first portion formed of a precious metal or a precious metal alloy extending outwardly from a bushing and a second portion formed of a non-precious metal. The non-precious metal portion of the flange may be affixed to the precious metal portion by known metal bonding methods. A cooling tube is positioned on the non-precious metal portion to create a thermal seal and prevent molten glass from leaking from the interface of the bushing block and bushing. The precious metal portion of the inventive flange is a fraction of the size of precious metal present in conventional bushing flanges. By reducing the amount of precious metal incorporated in the flange, a significant reduction in the overall cost of the bushing and in the manufacture of glass fibers can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2007Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: OCV Intellectual Capital, LLCInventors: David F.

Patent number: 4575524Abstract: Cathodic electrodepositable resin compositions particularly adapted for use as film forming compositions in cathodic electrodeposition processes. The resin is the reaction product of a modified epoxy formed by reacting a polyepoxide with a water soluble or water miscible polyol, an excess of polyamine, and a fatty acid. The resin, when combined with a cross-linking agent and solubilized in an aqueous electrodeposition bath, is capable of depositing high build coatings in a short period of time with a low cross-linking temperature in a cathodic electrodeposition process. The resin compositions are salted with an acid and used as components of aqueous cathodic electrodeposition baths.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1985Date of Patent: March 11, 1986Assignee: Inmont CorporationInventors: Terry L.
