Publication number: 20090301601Abstract: The present invention comprises apparatus and methods employing a gas produced from a tetrazine-based energetic material such as that known as “BTATz” containing 3;6-BtS(1H-1,2,3,4-Tetrazol-5-ylamino)1-,2,4,5-tetrazine 3;6-BtS(1H-1,2,3,4-Tetrazol-5-ylamino)1-,2,4,5-tetrazine or salts thereof. The tetrazinebased energetic material is ignited through the use of a percussion cap, a piezoelectric crystal or a battery-supplied electric spark or by encapsulating it in a container that is then exposed to a burning flame. The gas produced upon ignition is employed a propellant such as to inflate life rafts, life vests, emergency evacuation slides, tires, air bags and other inflatable devices. The gas produced upon ignition is alternatively employed to power an engine and many other applications such as a fire suppressant.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2007Publication date: December 10, 2009Inventors: Jon R. Enerson, John H. Lucius, David Battat, Emile Battat, Glenn Mackal

Publication number: 20070277279Abstract: Disclosed is a finger worn implement with a brush, or other cleaning implement, that allows rock climbers to easily clean accumulated chalk from the areas around rock climbing holds. The implement included a cot with attached upper and lower bands that are secured to the finger of a user. A wire brush or nylon bristles are secured to the cot and can be used to sweep out accumulations of chalk.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2007Publication date: December 6, 2007Inventor: David Battat

Patent number: 6438338Abstract: A silencer assembly that has an extended life, is recycleable and suitable for reducing screeching noises between a cleaning blade and an imaging member of an electrostatographic reproduction machine. The silencer assembly includes (i) a first C-shaped member having a wall defining a slot extending axially in the wall, and an interior cavity having a predetermined inside diameter in the free state, (ii) at least one partially compressed high density polymeric open cell foam plug inserted into the interior cavity, and (iii) a replaceable second C-shaped member inserted within the interior cavity for reducing plastic deformation of the first C-shaped member, thereby extending life of the silencer and making the silencer easily recyclable by replacing the second C-shaped member.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Richard C. Mark, Richard L. Carlston, David Battat

Patent number: 6289587Abstract: There is disclosed a method for reusing a fuser member containing an outer layer having an original fusing surface that is deficient including: removing a portion of the thickness of the outer layer including the original fusing surface to create on the remaining outer layer a new fusing surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1997Date of Patent: September 18, 2001Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: David Battat, Santokh S. Badesha, Clifford O. Eddy, Louis D. Fratangelo, Arnold W. Henry, Alan R. Kuntz

Patent number: 6263183Abstract: Multiple layer fuser belts having a woven fabric layer and a high conformability, low surface energy elastic layer. The fabric layer is formed from high modulus, high temperature fibers that are woven together at acute angles to the circumference of the belt fibers. The fabric layer forms a substrate with preferential stretching along the circumference of the fuser belt. The elastic layer is bonded to the fabric layer and is made from a highly conformable, low durometer material having a low surface tension. When the fuser belt is partially wrapped around a driven roller so as to form a nip with a pressure roller the fuser belt stretches in the direction of belt motion. As the fuser belt passes through the nip the fuser belt contracts, releasing surface tension and thus reduces sticking between the fuser belt and fused toner.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1999Date of Patent: July 17, 2001Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Edward L. Schlueter, Jr., David Battat, Edward F. Bowler, Jr., J. Robert Blaszak

Patent number: 5514436Abstract: An endless flexible seamed belt with a mechanically invisible seam and substantially equivalent in performance to a seamless belt is formed by joining two ends of material from which the belt is fabricated each end of which has a plurality of mutually mating elements in a puzzle cut pattern which are in interlocking relationship in at least one plane and which when joined mechanically enable the flexible belt to essentially function as an endless belt having a substantially uniform thickness.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1994Date of Patent: May 7, 1996Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Edward L. Schlueter, Jr., Thomas C. Parker, Robert M. Ferguson, Robert N. Finsterwalder, Lucille M. Sharf, Laurence J. Lynd, David Battat
