Patents by Inventor Emily Ann RYAN

Emily Ann RYAN 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: 11945046
    Abstract: A method of joining electrical connections together includes evaluating at least one weld joint between at least two substrates, determining mismatch between the at least two substrates, and welding the at least two substrates together with a multi-step welding process. The multi-step welding process includes compensating for mismatch between the at least two substrates by welding on both sides but not overlapping a joint line between the at least two substrates with a first welding step and increasing melt volume and penetration depth of a weld between the at least two substrates with a second welding step.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2024
    Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Emily Ann Ryan, Elizabeth Therese Hetrick, Arnon Wexler
  • Publication number: 20240001488
    Abstract: A method of joining at least two substrates includes welding the at least two substrates together with a multi-step welding process. The multi-step welding process includes: reducing a mismatch between the at least two substrates by melting on both sides of the at least two substrates to form a melted portion that does not overlap a joint line between the at least two substrates with a first welding step; and increasing melt volume and penetration depth of the melted portion between the at least two substrates with a second welding step.

  • Patent number: 11542384
    Abstract: An additive article stabilizing method includes prior to polymerization, adding a radiation-activated stabilizing composition to a liquid resin, forming the article from the liquid resin, layer by layer, using radiation such that the stabilizing composition does not stabilize the liquid resin but the formed article, and neutralizing free radicals generated during a degradation process initiated by exposure of the article to additional radiation post-cure.
