Patent number: 11512179Abstract: A supported elastomeric foam (100) includes an elastomeric matrix (102) formed of an elastomer and including a reinforcement region (104) and a foamed region (106). The foamed region includes gas filled cells (108) in the elastomer, and the reinforcement region includes a porous layer (204) having an interconnected network of pores at least partially imbibed with the elastomer. The foam can include an adhesive at a surface of the foam. A compressible seal (802) including a compressible body, which can be elastomeric foam, can also include a pattern of discontinuous adhesive regions about which the compressible body can deform to form a sea. The supported elastomeric foam can form a gas tight seal in an interface when placed under minimal compression.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2018Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignees: W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., W. L. Gore & Associates, GmbHInventors: John Gardner, Amadeus Wiesemann

Publication number: 20200185919Abstract: A system may include a resource distribution network and multiple control devices coupled to the resource distribution network. Each of the control devices may be configured to control a state of consumption of a resource from the resource distribution network. Each of the control devices may be further configured to receive data from a set of neighboring control devices, where the data indicates respective states of consumption of the resource associated with each of the neighboring control devices, determine an average state of consumption associated with the set of neighboring control devices based on the data, and calculate at least one threshold value based on the average state of consumption associated with the set of neighboring control devices. Controlling the state of consumption of the resource may be based on a comparison of the measured value to the at least one threshold value.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: John Gardner, Ryan Schwartz, Jason Kuwada
