Patent number: 9011727Abstract: Blending an electrically active, anodically coloring, electrochromic polymer with a non-electrochromic, non-electrically conductive binder polymer greatly enhances the performance of the anodically coloring, electrochromic polymer in an electrochromic device over time. In addition to improved physical characteristics of the blend, e.g., film build, durability etc, the coloristic properties, including color space and color strength, of the device comprising the blend are more durable than when using the neat polymer, and in certain instances, the color space and color intensity provided by the blend is superior to that available from the neat polymer.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2009Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: BASF SEInventors: Nancy Cliff, David Yale, Deanna Rodovsky, Jennifer Jankauskas

Patent number: 8516734Abstract: Firearm supporting devices (e.g., firearm vises), methods of assembling firearm supporting devices, and methods of packaging firearm supporting devices are disclosed herein. One aspect is directed to a firearm supporting device for supporting a firearm having a first section and a second section spaced apart from the first section. In one such embodiment, a firearm supporting device includes a base, a first support for carrying the first section of the firearm, and a second support for carrying the second section of the firearm. The base includes a first portion and a second portion configured to be attached to the first portion. The first portion is fixed relative to the second portion when the first and second portions are attached. The first support is configured to project from the first portion of the base. The second support is configured to project from the second portion of the base.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2012Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Battenfeld Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David Yale, Russell A.

Patent number: 8316570Abstract: Bipods and mounting devices for attaching to and supporting firearms, more specifically, bipods which allow independent tension-adjustable movement around two axes. For example, the bipod assembly can be tension-adjusted with a first cam lock for cant movement and can be tension-adjusted with a second cam lock for pivotal movement. Accordingly, independently tension-adjustable and lockable pivot and cam adjustments are provided by this bipod assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Battenfeld Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Russell A.

Patent number: 8023171Abstract: Electrically active, cathodically coloring electrochromic polymers are blended with a non-electrochromic, non-electrically conductive binder polymer to provide an electrochomic composition with greatly enhanced performance in an electrochromic device over time. It is also found that blending an electrochromic polymer with a non-coloring electroactive material allows for greater design in preparing electrochromic devices as it enables the use of a higher amount of typically low coloring anodic materials due to increased need for charge balancing.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2010Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: BASF SEInventors: Nancy Nase Cliff, David Yale, Jennifer Jankauskas, Ece Unur

Publication number: 20110192069Abstract: Modular shooting rests and associated assemblies are disclosed herein. One embodiment of the disclosure, for example, is directed to a shooting rest assembly for supporting a firearm. The shooting rest assembly can include a first base portion and a second base portion. The first base portion has an exterior surface, an inner surface, and a bottom surface defining a bottom surface plane. The first base portion also includes an inner volume defined, at least in part, by the inner surface and the bottom surface plane. The second base portion is engaged with the first base portion in a configuration selected from (a) a first shooting rest arrangement, and (b) a second shooting rest arrangement. In the first shooting rest arrangement, the second base portion is received at least approximately completely within the inner volume of the first base portion in a nested configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2010Publication date: August 11, 2011Applicant: Battenfeld Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Russell A.

Publication number: 20090063328Abstract: The subject of debt and home mortgage financing play a critical role in consumer finance, yet its treatment within the framework of personalized financial planning has lagged in relation to breadth and complexity of debt instruments that are commonly available in the marketplace. Consumers require a decision support system to make informed choices related to debt financing. A strategic decision framework and a set of tools to properly assess consumer debt are lacking. Monte Carlo simulation, risk tolerance, and statistical methods are frequently in other areas of consumer finance, particularly the investment field. Similar methods have application in the debt domain.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2007Publication date: March 5, 2009Inventors: Samuel T. Cuscovitch, David Yale Schlossman
