The present invention provides dual coatings of toughened epoxy powder basecoats and topcoats, which may be foamed and/or fiber reinforced. The powder used to form the chip resistant topcoat can further comprise up to 200 phr or, preferably, up to 75 phr of one or more extender, or 0.5 or more phr of one or more extender, such as barium sulfate, while fully retaining its chip resistant properties. In addition, the powder used to form the chip resistant topcoat can be a low temperature curing powder comprising one or more low temperature curing agent.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Akzo Nobel Coatings International B.V.Inventors: Douglas S. Cinoman, Edward G. Nicholl

Patent number: 8535752Abstract: An automated powder-coating system and method is provided. A series of conveyor belts are arranged end to end to transition one or more work pieces between the conveyor belts. Sensors are used to determine the current location of a work piece with respect to the series of conveyor belts. An induction heating coil for preheating work pieces and a powder-coating apparatus for powder coating work pieces are located adjacent to the conveyor belts. A control unit independently starts and stops the individual conveyor belts based on the current location of the work piece. A cooling area may also be included in the powder-coating system. The powder-coating system and method may be used to powder coat varying lengths of work pieces.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2010Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: L&P Property Management CompanyInventors: Nikki O. White, Robert E. Keltz, Stephen R. Lake

Patent number: 8535754Abstract: A method for enhancing anti-abrasion of a belt of a treadmill and an apparatus for practicing the method are disclosed herein. As processing the belt, the belt is installed in the apparatus and a driving device of the apparatus can move the belt. A distributing device of the apparatus scatters solid lubricative material on the surface of the belt. As the belt being moved, the lubricative material is melted by a heating device of the apparatus. When the belt is moved to leave the heating device, the melted lubricative material coagulates and engages with the surface of the belt.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2010Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Johnson Health Tech Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ching-Yang Huang

Patent number: 8507037Abstract: Printing one or more layers using toner and/or laminates to form one or more multi-channeled layers, with a particular pattern, including forming a desired image, for example, electrographically, on a receiver member. The multi layered channel printing apparatus and related method and print incorporates one or more static layers, and one or more moveable layers that allow a fluid to move through the micro channels via an opening or through a direct fill. It also incorporates particles in the channels to act as a packing material for separation of components of samples. The packing material can either be applied directly or using the electrographic printing process. An optional capping layer or substrate may then be applied.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2009Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Lee W. Tutt, Donna P. Suchy
