Brian K. Flandermeyer 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).

  • Patent number: 8802225
    Abstract: An article includes a ceramic matrix composite substrate with a heat-exposure surface and a monocoating disposed directly on the heat-exposure surface. The monocoating includes vitreous glass to seal the ceramic matrix composite from the surrounding environment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2011
    Date of Patent: August 12, 2014
    Assignee: United Technologies Corporation
    Inventors: Brian K. Flandermeyer, Kathleen E. Sinnamon, Erica Prevost
  • Patent number: 8524317
    Abstract: A composite article includes a substrate and a multilayer coating on the substrate. The multilayer coating includes an inner layer near the substrate, and outermost layer on the inner layer, and an intermediate layer between the inner layer and the outermost layer. The inner layer and outermost layer are boron-containing materials, and the intermediate layer is a silicon-containing ceramic material.

  • Patent number: 6379804
    Abstract: A coating is prepared by providing a plurality of metallic flake particles, depositing a surface-protective applied layer on the particle surfaces to form protected particles, and mixing the protected particles with a binder precursor to form a coating mixture. The coating mixture is applied to a substrate. The surface-protective applied layer is preferably silica, which is deposited by a sol-gel process from a tetraethyl orthosilicate solution.

  • Patent number: 4749632
    Abstract: An electronically conductive interconnect layer for use in a fuel cell or other electrolytic device is formed with sintering additives to permit densification in a monolithic structure with the electrode materials. Additions including an oxide of boron and a eutectic forming composition of Group 2A metal fluorides with Group 3B metal fluorides and Group 2A metal oxides with Group 6B metal oxides lower the required firing temperature of lanthanum chromite to permit densification to in excess of 94% of theoretical density without degradation of electrode material lamina. The monolithic structure is formed by tape casting thin layers of electrode, interconnect and electrolyte materials and sintering the green lamina together under common densification conditions.

  • Patent number: H1138
    Abstract: A process for preparing a superconducting ceramic and particularly YBa.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7-.delta., where .delta. is in the order of about 0.1-0.4, is carried out using a polymeric binder which decomposes below its ignition point to reduce carbon residue between the grains of the sintered ceramic and a nonhydroxylic organic solvent to limit the problems with water or certain alcohols on the ceramic composition.
