Patents by Inventor David C. Busby

David C. Busby 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: 5419487
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for spraying water-borne coating compositions having at least about thirty five percent by weight of the solvent fraction by using compressed fluids such as carbon dioxide and ethane, so as to decrease runs, sags and drying time in the application of coatings.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 29, 1993
    Date of Patent: May 30, 1995
    Assignee: Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Kenneth A. Nielsen, David C. Busby, Charles W. Glancy, Gregory C. Ross
  • Patent number: 5374305
    Abstract: The present invention relates to precursor coating compositions containing water and at least one organic solvent which are particularly suitable for being admixed with at least one supercritical fluid used as a viscosity reduction diluent and then spraying this resultant liquid mixture of supercritical fluid and precursor coating composition onto a substrate to be coated. Processes for spraying this precursor mixture are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 10, 1991
    Date of Patent: December 20, 1994
    Assignee: Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Charles W. Glancy, David C. Busby
  • Patent number: 5290603
    Abstract: Methods are presented by which polymeric compositions, such as coating compositions, can be sprayed with compressed fluids, such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, or ethane, at higher solids levels and with finer atomization to give improved spray application quality with reduced emission of solvent.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4513151
    Abstract: A process for the production of an aldehyde at high selectivity and rate by the reaction of an inorganic or organic ester with carbon monoxide or synthesis gas in contact with a catalyst system containing cobalt, rhodium or ruthenium atoms and lithium iodide and, optionally, an organic ligand.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 2, 1983
    Date of Patent: April 23, 1985
