Patent number: 11643210Abstract: A modular bar and shop space for an aircraft galley is disclosed. In embodiments, the bar and shop space includes an aircraft monument installable either adjacent to a galley complex or as a standalone. The monument has upper and lower portions disposed behind upper and lower panels; the upper portion includes chiller and warmer compartments. The lower portion includes storage shelving and is deployable into the space in front of the monument. When the lower portion deploys, the vertical upper panel tracks downward into a horizontal workdeck above the storage shelving. The deployed workdeck may be used as a counterspace for a snack bar or social area for passengers, or as additional temporary workspace for cabin crew.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2021Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: B/E Aerospace, Inc.Inventors: Jack D.

Patent number: 8978559Abstract: A base insert for a cartridge case comprises a base end having a lip and a groove proximate the lip and having a primer pocket defined in the base end and an insert end having a base wall and a cylindrical wall extending there from, the base wall and cylindrical wall defining a powder fill pocket. The base wall has a flash hole disposed therein and an inner surface facing the powder fill pocket. The cylindrical wall has an inner surface intersecting with the inner surface of the base wall and an outer surface defining the outer circumference of the base insert. The intersection of the inner surface of the base wall and the inner surface of the cylindrical wall is curved or forms an oblique angle, while the outer surface of the insert end is not curved and does not form an oblique angle.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2013Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Nylon Corporation of America, Inc.Inventors: Jack D Davies, Gregory Biederman, Christopher A Coco

Patent number: 8883917Abstract: A method for the preparation of a polyamide-based composition provides for the substantially uniform dispersion of particulate silica and, optionally, mineral oil and any other lubricant additive, within a polyamide matrix. The method includes mixing particulate silica, and optionally, mineral oil and other lubricant additives, to one or more polyamide-producing monomers, and water, to form an emulsion or suspension wherein the particulate silica (and mineral oil and other lubricant additives, when added) are substantially uniformly dispersed therein, and then in situ polymerizing the monomer(s) to provide a polyamide matrix wherein the particulate silica, and optional mineral oil and other optional lubricant additives, remain substantially uniformly dispersed in the resulting polyamide matrix to form the polyamide-based composition.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2012Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Nylon Corporation of America, Inc.Inventors: Jack D.

Patent number: 8220196Abstract: A fish line having a red color defined by a hue value of a LCH measurement of a colorimeter of between ?11.5 and ?13.5 is shown to get more strikes than fish line of other colors, thereby providing the user with an opportunity to catch more fish. The red fish line includes a red colorant which provides increased abrasion resistance compared to fish line comprised of the same synthetic or natural materials but a different or no colorant.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2000Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: W.C.

Patent number: 6668462Abstract: A multicomponent monofilament cutting line includes a first component material and a second component material, the same or different in chemical structure from the first component material and extruded separately from the first component material. The second component material provides the cutting line with cutting edges and has increased wear resistance properties and increased abrasion resistance properties compared to those same properties of the first component material. The monofilament cutting line for a rotary trimmer for cutting vegetation preferably includes a first component material having a specific gravity of about 1.15 g/cc or less; and a second component material having a specific gravity greater than 1.15 g/cc. Notably, the multi-component, monofilament cutting line itself has increased wear resistance and increased abrasion resistance as compared to a single component monofilament cutting line employing one of either the first or second component materials.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2003Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Shakespeare Company, LLCInventors: David B.

Patent number: 6103866Abstract: Poly (diene sulfones) have superior properties as X-ray resists. Many poly (diene sulfones) have an X-ray sensitivity below about 50 mJ/cm.sup.2, and a glass transition temperature above about 70.degree. C. A preferred X-ray resist is poly (1,3-hexadiene sulfone). A method of synthesizing poly (diene sulfones) is disclosed, in which a diene monomer is dissolved in a molar excess of a nitroalkane at low temperature, for example in a molar excess of dried 2-nitropropane in a -78.degree. C. dry ice/acetone bath, and reacted with a molar excess of sulfur dioxide in the presence of a free radical initiator such as tert-butyl-hydroperoxide.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1999Date of Patent: August 15, 2000Assignee: Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical CollegeInventors: Jack D.
