  • Patent number: 11874604
    Abstract: A method of creating a design on complex curves and irregular contours of a protective helmet, quickly and without having to first disassemble the helmet. A design is transferred to a clear film/acetate, which is then exposed onto a photoresist mask, transferring the design to the photoresist mask. The mask is washed out creating blast-able areas in the design mask. The mask is adhered to an area of the helmet, which is otherwise covered with a sealed protective bag. Sandblasting/abrasive-blasting etches portions of the helmet surface through the blast-able area of the mask. Various colors or other special effects may be painted/applied onto the etched portions of the helmet surface. The protective bag and photoresist mask can be removed, and the painted areas buffed/polished in a final step.

  • Patent number: 11867502
    Abstract: By measuring a position of a spray gun relative to a physical surface to coat, using data on technical characteristics of the spray gun, like a spray cone the spray gun may produce and data on a coating fluid used, characteristics of a coating layer thus physically deposited may be reconstructed. With data being recording during the spray job, this is faster and more accurate than measuring layer thickness at various locations, either pre-determined or randomly. By determining flow characteristics in a spray cone and position of the spray cone relative to the surface over time and using a model of the spray cone, deposition of the layer of coating may be determined and the final layer, cured or uncured, may be reconstructed, including thickness.
