  • Anaerobic wire connector sealant and moisture resistant wire connector containing the same
    Patent number: 7368663
    Abstract: A waterproof electrical connection includes a wire connector including a housing having a cavity and an insert having a surface adapted for receiving at least two metallic wires disposed within the cavity of the housing; at least two metallic wires having exposed metallic surfaces, wherein a portion of the exposed surface of one wire is in contact with a portion of the exposed surface of the second wire, and further wherein a portion of the exposed surfaces of the at least two wires are in contact with the surface of the insert to define at least one contact point; and an anaerobic sealant disposed within the cavity, wherein only a portion of the anaerobic sealant proximal to the one at least contact point is in a cured state while the remaining sealant is in an uncured state. The connection may further include an air permeable cap disposed over the open end of the housing.

  • Fast moisture curing and UV-moisture dual curing compositions
    Patent number: 7368519
    Abstract: The invention provides fast moisture and photo/moisture curing silicone compositions and methods for the preparation thereof. More particularly, the compositions provided are prepared from silanol and silane cappers; the cappers have an ?-carbon bonded to the silicon atom allowing for a favorable hypervalent silicon transition state when reacting the silane and silanol. This favorable transition state enables both a fast endcapping reaction and contributes to the fast moisture curing properties of the inventive compositions.

  • Thermosetting resin compositions containing maleimide and/or vinyl compounds
    Patent number: 7309724
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided novel thermosetting resin compositions which do not require solvent to provide a system having suitable viscosity for convenient handling. Invention compositions have the benefit of undergoing rapid cure. The resulting thermosets are stable to elevated temperatures, are highly flexible, have low moisture uptake and are consequently useful in a variety of applications, e.g., in adhesive applications since they display good adhesion to both the substrate and the device attached thereto.

  • In situ monitoring of reactive material using ultrasound
    Patent number: 7305884
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device and method of non-destructively monitoring reactive material through a substrate for changes in material properties that designate the condition of the reactive material during cure and service life. A transducer is placed on a portion of the substrate generally parallel to an interface of the substrate to the reactive material. The ultrasonic waves generated via the transducer are used to detect reflected sound waves upon encountering the interfaces, where the interfaces consist of changes in material properties across the substrate.
