Publication number: 20100198414Abstract: Structural wall panels and methods and systems for controlling the interior temperature of a building are provided. The structural wall panels advantageously include a fluid conduit disposed within an interior concrete layer of the structural wall panel where the conduit is adapted to convey a thermal transfer fluid through the interior concrete layer. A thermal insulation layer may be provided between the first concrete layer and an exterior surface of the wall. The thermal transfer fluid can be heated and/or cooled to regulate the temperature of the interior concrete layer and thereby control the temperature of the interior of the building. The interior concrete layer may have a high thermal mass to increase the thermal efficiency of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2009Publication date: August 5, 2010Inventors: Steven C.

Patent number: 6881153Abstract: The present invention relates to a tip section for a cue stick for use in billiards, snooker and pool. The tip section may be connected to either a butt section of a two piece cue, or to the shortened shaft end of an existing cue stick butt section. The tip section is composed of a hollow tube into which stiffening members and weights may be introduced to alter the weight, balance, flex and kick of the tip section. The tip section can be retrofitted to an existing butt section, used to repair a cue stick with a damaged tip segment, or be part of a new cue.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2001Date of Patent: April 19, 2005Inventor: John W. Andrews

Publication number: 20040217337Abstract: An aqueous polymeric composition for applying prints or coatings to soft, pliable fabrics and curing them to produce aesthetic prints or coatings which are resistant to removal by abrasion and which also maintain the softness and pliability of the fabric. The present composition comprises a curable water-soluble polymer binder material(s) comprising acrylic ester groups and urethane groups, preferably a plurality of glass microspheres in a weight equal to at least 50% by weight of the polymeric binder materials(s), and a water soluble curing agent. The composition forms an insoluble, abrasion-resistant light-reflective and/or light-refractive print, or coating on the fabric upon evaporation of water and curing of the polymeric binder materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2003Publication date: November 4, 2004Inventor: John W. Andrews

Patent number: 6525111Abstract: Paint compositions and coatings having improved overall visual appearance, richness or depth of color and aesthetic properties such as for spraying-painting automobiles, boats, aircraft and home appliances. The present paint compositions are high solids content, heat-curable, transparent or translucent compositions containing embedded light-refractive colorless and/or tinted transparent glass beads preferably between about 10 to 20 microns diameter, and one or more color-enhancing agents such as pigments, dyes, aluminum flakes, mica, opaque glass beads, holographic flakes, and similar conventional light-enhancing agents. The present bead-containing refractive paint compositions may be based upon volatile organic solvents, water or may be solvent-free powder compositions, but in all cases the resinous binder material is cross-linkable at the baking temperature of the paint, or upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation, to cure as a hard, translucent, chip-resistant paint.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2000Date of Patent: February 25, 2003Assignee: Prizmalite Industries Inc.Inventors: Andrew B. Spencer, John W. Andrews, Gary D. Tucker, II

Publication number: 20010036709Abstract: A method is provided for planarizing a structure such as a shallow trench isolation region on a semiconductor substrate. A semiconductor substrate is provided having raised and lowered regions with substantially vertical and horizontal surfaces. The lowered regions may correspond to trench regions. Filler material such as non-conformal high density plasma oxide may be deposited over the horizontal surfaces to at least a thickness equal to a predetermined height so as to provide raised and lowered regions of the filler material. The raised regions of the filler material may then be selectively removed without removing the filler material in the lowered regions.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2001Publication date: November 1, 2001Inventors: John W. Andrews, Bao T. Hwang, Howard S. Landis, Shaw-Ning Mei, James M. Tyler, Edward J. Vishnesky

Patent number: 4390008Abstract: A water heater or system which includes a hot water tank having disposed therein a movable baffle to function as a barrier between the incoming volume of cold water entering the tank and the volume of heated water entering the tank which is heated by the circulation of the cold water through a solar collector and/or a desuperheater of a heat pump so as to optimize the manner in which heat is imparted to the water in accordance to the demand on the water heater or system. A supplemental heater is also provided and it is connected so as to supplement the heating of the water in the event that the solar collector and/or desuperheater cannot impart all of the desired heat input into the water.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 1980Date of Patent: June 28, 1983Assignee: The United Stated of America as represented by the Department of EnergyInventor: John W.
