  • Aqueous fluoropolymer primer for smooth substrates
    Patent number: 5789083
    Abstract: An aqueous fluoropolymer primer useful for coating smooth substrates is provided. The primer contains two fluoropolymer resins of differing melt viscosities and a binder which is a polyamide imide and a polyphenylene sulfide at a weight ratio in the range of 3:1 to 1:3.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 11, 1997
    Date of Patent: August 4, 1998
    Assignee: E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
    Inventor: Philippe Andre Fernand Germain Thomas
  • Post-formable non-stick roller coated smooth substrates
    Patent number: 5721053
    Abstract: A post-formable coated substrate coated with PTFE and FEP, plus polyamide imide and PPS resins can be made by roller coating and deep drawn with the coating in place.

  • Energy storage and conversion technique and apparatus
    Patent number: 4058979
    Abstract: The kinetic energy of the wind is converted into compressed air which is stored, in a system which maintains a predetermined output pressure, for use in driving a turbine coupled to an electrical power generator. The gas storage system includes two pair of serially connected storage tanks with the first tank in each pair receiving compressed air from wind driven compressors and including a hydraulically actuated piston for use in forcing the air into the second tank. Each of the second tanks of each pair includes a floating piston which will be caused to ascend in response to the delivery of pressurized gas thereto from the serially connected tank including the hydraulically actuated piston and the pressure in each of the second tanks will be maintained by the weight of the floating piston.
