John F. Halase, III 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).

  • Coating thickness measurement
    Patent number: 4818118
    Abstract: In the present invention, a discrete region of the TBC is heated, as by applying a controlled quantity of laser energy onto the region for a time interval. Then, the radiant thermal energy of a region outside the laser strike region is measured at a predetermined time following the termination of the laser pulse. The intensity of this measured radiant energy is then compared with the radiant intensities which have been experimentally obtained from known thickness specimens and the thickness is inferred therefrom.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 20, 1986
    Date of Patent: April 4, 1989
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Thomas E. Bantel, David F. Lahrman, John F. Halase, III

  • Energy measuring systems adapted for use in conjunction with load moving and weight indicating devices
    Patent number: 4053742
    Abstract: Energy measuring systems particularly adapted for use in conjunction with load moving devices which comprise apparatus for measuring and providing an indication of the energy expended in moving a load, and for converting a signal corresponding to such energy to a signal corresponding to the weight of the load.
