Patents by Inventor Alan David Fanta

Alan David Fanta 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).

  • Sulfonylimide compounds
    Patent number: 6350545
    Abstract: Novel sulfonylinide and sulfonylmethide compounds are described which are useful as conductive salts. Also described is the use of the above compounds in salt form in battery electrolytes, particular salts having mixed perfluorocaron and hydrocarbon groups or having all hydrocarbon groups. The above salts are less expensive to produce and still exhibit excellent conductivity and low corrosivity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 25, 1998
    Date of Patent: February 26, 2002
    Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties Company
    Inventors: Alan David Fanta, Phat tan Pham, Steven Joseph Hamrock
  • Cyano-substituted methide and amide salts
    Patent number: 6294289
    Abstract: Amide and methide salts, comprising in the case of an amide salt one cyano (—CN) group, and in the case of a methide salt, two cyano groups are described in applications requiring a high degree of ionic dissociation. The salts are especially useful as electrolyte components in electrochemical cells such as batteries, fuel cells, capacitors, supercapacitors, electrochemical sensors and electrolytic cells, by providing a means for ionic conduction and transport.
