  • Multi-spectral, selectively reflective construct
    Patent number: 9276324
    Abstract: A selectively reflective construct, and a method for making the construct, are described. In one embodiment reflectance, transmission and absorption properties may be controlled in multiple electromagnetic bands. A construct is described comprising a) a thermally transparent, visually opaque substrate comprising a polymeric material and a colorant, and b) a thermally reflective layer comprising a low emissivity component which is optionally transparent to radar signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 24, 2009
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2016
    Assignee: W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.
    Inventors: William D. Kelsey, Gregory D. Culler, Emmanuel Gustav Van-Dyck, John Holcombe, Edward C. Gunzel
  • Integrated food and condiment holder
    Publication number: 20100065563
    Abstract: An integrated food and condiment holder having at least one condiment holder attached to a side of the integrated food and condiment holder. The condiment extends from the side of the integrated food and condiment holder when in use. When not in use, the condiment holder is collapsible such that one integrated food and condiment holder may be stacked with another one for storage.

  • Infrared suppressive material
    Publication number: 20070072501
    Abstract: Near infrared suppressive layers are described having an average reflectance between 9% and 70% in the wavelength range from about 400 nm to 700 nm, and an average reflectance of less than or equal to 70% in the wavelength range from about 720 nm to 1100 nm. Additionally, articles made from such near infrared layers are described, wherein the articles provide desirable reduced nIR reflection without substantially altering the visual shade of the overall article.
