  • Fiber imbedded polymeric sponge
    Patent number: 6774152
    Abstract: A polymeric sponge includes cellulose fibers imbedded therein. The sponge is made by mixing water and cellulose fibers with a water-catalyzing prepolymer for chemical reaction thereof. The mixture is cured and granulated to size. The cellulose fibers enhance both the manufacturing process and the resulting sponge for increasing strength, durability, and performance thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 31, 2001
    Date of Patent: August 10, 2004
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: James Stephen Shaw, Laurence E. Stone

  • Pliant coating stripping
    Patent number: 6659844
    Abstract: Abrasive shot is injected into a carrier stream of compressed gas. The shot and gas stream are directed against a pliant coating. The compressed gas expands at the coating for cooling thereof which decreases coating resiliency for enhancing stripping thereof by the impinging abrasive shot.

  • Shielded spin polishing
    Patent number: 6520838
    Abstract: A shield is placed next to a workpiece to form a passage therebetween. The workpiece and shield are rotated, and a stream of abrasive shot is blasted toward the spinning workpiece and shield to periodically enter the passage to selectively abrade the workpiece.

  • Pliant coating stripping
    Publication number: 20020182987
    Abstract: Abrasive shot is injected into a carrier stream of compressed gas. The shot and gas stream are directed against a plaint coating. The compressed gas expands at the coating for cooling thereof which decreases coating resiliency for enhancing stripping thereof by the impinging abrasive shot.

  • Omnidirectional shot nozzle
    Patent number: 6464570
    Abstract: A nozzle includes a tube and a flared deflector extending coaxially from an outlet thereof. A stream of abrasive pliant shot is discharged through the nozzle and deflected radially outwardly from the deflector for abrading a shifting edge along an aperture in a workpiece surface.

  • Bilayer surface scrubbing
    Patent number: 6402593
    Abstract: A fluid stream is discharged along a workpiece surface toward a boss thereof to form a boundary layer atop the surface. A stream of pliant shot is scrubbed across the boss for selectively abrading target material therefrom while the boundary layer protects the surface from abrasion.
