Patent number: 12503541Abstract: A two-part curable (adhesive) composition comprising a Part A and a Part B: Part A comprising: (i) a curable (meth)acrylate component; (ii) a peroxide; and (iii) a phenolic lipid; and Part B comprising: (i) a curable (meth)acrylate component; and (ii) a transition metal component. These compositions are tack free, demonstrate good cure through volume and desirable bond strengths on both active and passive substrates. The two-part curable (adhesive) composition can cure across relatively large bond gaps and are non-volatile.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2022Date of Patent: December 23, 2025Assignee: Henkel AG & Co. KGaAInventors: David Mullen, Lynne Sheerin, Mark Loane

Patent number: 11748196Abstract: A method for more efficiently utilizing storage space in a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method implements a RAID from multiple storage drives. The RAID utilizes data striping with distributed parity values to provide desired data protection/redundancy. The distributed parity values are placed on selected storage drives of the RAID in accordance with a designated parity rotation. The method further adaptively alters the parity rotation of the RAID to provide an increased concentration of parity values in certain storage drives of the RAID compared to other storage drives of the RAID. This parity rotation may be adapted based on residual storage capacity in each storage drive, consumed space in each storage drive, or the like. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Glen Jaquette, Jacob Smalts, David Mullen, Van Smith

Publication number: 20220089920Abstract: An anaerobically curable composition comprising: (a) a non-encapsulated liquid anaerobically curable monomer forming a liquid phase; (b) a solid component dispersed as a solid phase within the liquid phase formed by the non-encapsulated liquid anaerobically curable monomer; wherein the solid component has (meth)acrylate functionality and: (i) is in particulate form with the particles having a particle size in the range from about 80 ?m to about 300 ?m; and (ii) has a melting temperature of from about 50° C. to about 90° C.; and (c) a curing component for curing the anaerobically curable composition within the liquid phase. The anaerobically curable composition can easily be coated onto substrates such as threaded fasteners or other parts in its flowable form and then converted to anaerobically curable composition in solid form.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Inventors: Frances Murphy, David Mullen, David Condron, Brendan Kneafsey, Nigel Sweeney

Patent number: 11157361Abstract: A method for more efficiently utilizing storage space in a set of storage drives is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method implements, in a set of storage drives, a first RAID utilizing data striping with distributed parity values. The method further implements, in a subset of the set of storage drives, a second RAID using residual storage space in storage drives belonging to the subset. Storage drives belonging to the subset may have a storage capacity that is larger than storage drives not belonging to the subset. In certain embodiments, the method adaptively alters a parity rotation of the first RAID to provide an increased concentration of parity values in certain storage drives of the first RAID compared to other storage drives of the first RAID. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Glen Jaquette, Jacob Smalts, David Mullen, Van Smith
