Publication number: 20240157324Abstract: A method for forming a metal flow module includes forming a flux retention feature on a first major surface of a first metal plate and then applying flux to the first major surface. The flux retention feature is configured to retain the flux at least in part on the first surface. The method further includes positioning a second major surface of a second metal plate against the first major surface of the first metal plate. The second metal plate has one or more flow channels defined at least in part in the second major surface. The flux is positioned between first contacting portions of the first and second major surfaces. The method further includes heating the first and second metal plates in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to thermally bond the first contacting portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: George Edward Berkey, Richard Alan Quinn

Patent number: 11820694Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for heating moving continuous glass ribbons at desired lines of separation and/or for separating glass sheets from continuous glass ribbons are disclosed. An apparatus includes a translatable support portion and a heating apparatus coupled to the support portion. The heating apparatus is configured to contact the continuous glass ribbon across at least a portion of a width of the continuous glass ribbon at the desired line of separation as the support portion moves in a draw direction, thereby preferentially applying heat to a first side of the continuous glass ribbon at the desired line of separation as the continuous glass ribbon moves in the draw direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventors: Dennis William Buckley, Gary Lamont Hively, Michael Albert Joseph, II, Jason Rudolph Koch, Ritesh Satish Lakhkar, Mark Thomas Massaro, Robert Richard Quiel, Richard Alan Quinn

Patent number: 8922656Abstract: A video processing system (10) for automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) provides an interface between video cameras (14, 16) and a host computer (20) through a single high speed USB connection (18). The system (10) supports four simultaneous composite video channels (28A, 28B, 28C, 28D) with two channels dedicated to an IR monochrome video and two channels dedicated to color video. Compression software incorporates a high speed memory for buffering and stripping unnecessary data from a digitized data stream. Monochrome channel data and color channel data are marked with an incrementing index to tag them with frame identification. As a result, processing software in the host computer can re-align the monochrome and color video information after processing a license plate image, regardless of the order of data arrival. Color overview and monochrome recognition images are provided at the same time, and thus show the same plate or vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2011Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: NDI Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Alan Quinn, Tharaka Goonetilleke
