Patents by Inventor Thomas J. Valente

Thomas J. Valente 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).

  • Dielectric materials high metallic content
    Patent number: 5906882
    Abstract: Atomized metal particles distributed within a resin matrix form a composite that can be selectively heated by exposure to microwave radiations. The composites can also be formed into non-electrically conductive but thermally conductive dielectric and magnetic structures by appropriate selection of metal particles and matrix materials.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 18, 1998
    Date of Patent: May 25, 1999
    Inventors: Thomas J. Valente, Henri J. A. Charmasson
  • Electromagnetic radiation absorbing and shielding compositions
    Patent number: 5789064
    Abstract: Atomized metal particles distributed within a resin matrix form a composite that can be selectively heated by exposure to microwave radiations. The composites can also be formed into non-electrically conductive but thermally conductive dielectric and magnetic structures by appropriate selection of metal particles and matrix materials. In other applications, metal particles are gradually distributed within a layer of resin matrix to create an electro magnetic radiation-absorbing medium used in the fabrication of anechoic and shielding structures.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 1997
    Date of Patent: August 4, 1998
    Inventors: Thomas J. Valente, Henri J.A. Charmasson
  • Metalized coating process
    Patent number: 5393568
    Abstract: A cold process for laying a textured or polished coat of bronze, copper, brass, pewter or other metallic substance over a mineral or organic surface comprises the step of mixing a sintering metal powder with a polyester resin and a ketonic catalyst for forming a spreadable, moldable or sprayable paste that hardens to a coat having essentially the mechanical and chemical characteristics of the selected metallic substance, but exhibiting no electrical conductivity.
