George Rawa 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).

  • Thermoplastic/fiber material composites, composite/metallic articles and methods for making composite/metallic articles
    Publication number: 20040224590
    Abstract: Metallic/composite articles and methods for making such articles as well as thermoplastic/fiber material composites are provided herein. Composites include a woven fiber material such as carbon fiber material and a thermoplastic selected from a group consisting of polyarylene ether ketone, polyarylene ether ketone ketone, polyarylene ether ether ketone, and derivatives thereof. Articles include such composites and a base metal, wherein the composite is directly adhered to a first surface of the base metal.

  • Self contained sensing apparatus and system
    Patent number: 6723981
    Abstract: A self contained sensing apparatus includes a housing establishing an interior compartment, the housing having a maximum thickness which is less than the size of a gate opening of a semiconductor wafer processing chamber for inserting the housing into the semiconductor wafer processing chamber for sensing a parameter. The housing includes a window extending through a principal housing surface. A sensor is provided within the housing and generally aligned with the window for sensing at least one parameter. A transmitter is provided within the housing and coupled with the sensor for receiving signals representative of the sensed parameter and transmitting the signals out of the housing.

  • Self contained sensing apparatus and system
    Patent number: 6603117
    Abstract: A self contained sensing apparatus includes a housing establishing an interior compartment, the housing having a maximum thickness which is less than the size of an access portal for inserting the housing into an area for sensing. The housing includes a window extending through a principal housing surface. A sensor is provided within the housing and generally aligned with the window for sensing at least one parameter. In a preferred embodiment, the sensor is an optical sensor for sensing images through the window. A transmitter is provided within the housing and coupled with the sensor for receiving signals representative of the sensed parameter and transmitting the signals out of the housing.
