Publication number: 20040159654Abstract: A susceptor composition that can bond two or more layers or substrates to one another and that can be used to coat or cut a substrate. The susceptor composition is activated in the presence of radio frequency (RF) energy. In one embodiment, the susceptor composition of the present invention comprises a susceptor and a carrier. The carrier and susceptor are blended with one another and form a mixture, preferably a uniform mixture. The susceptor is present in an amount effective to allow the susceptor composition to be heated by RF energy. In a preferred embodiment, the susceptor also functions as an adhesive. The susceptor is an ionic or polar compound and acts as either a charge-carrying or an oscillating/vibrating component of the susceptor composition. The susceptor generates thermal energy in the presence of an RF electromagnetic or electrical field (hereafter RF field).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2003Publication date: August 19, 2004Applicant: Codaco, Inc.Inventors: William J. Ryan, Manfred Luttinger, Bhima Vijayendran, Jonathan M. Gorbold, Lewis Hamilton, Steve Skewes, Gary C. Adishian, Daniel J. Lincoln, Robert Sengillo, John Cunliffe

Patent number: 6649888Abstract: An RF heating system for bonding a first element to a second element. In one embodiment, the RF heating system includes: (a) a composition, which functions as an adhesive, interposed between the first and second elements, the composition including an ionomer and a polar carrier, wherein the ionomer and/or the carrier are present in amounts effective to allow the composition to be headed by a fringe RF field; and (b) a radio frequency (RF) heating apparatus for producing the fringe RF field.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2001Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: Codaco, Inc.Inventors: William J. Ryan, Francisco Chiarilli, Gary C. Adishian, Jonathan M. Gorbold

Patent number: 6617557Abstract: An RF heating system. In one aspect of the present invention, the RF heating system includes a first elongated electrode connected to a first node within an impedance matching circuit and a second elongated electrode connected to a second node within the impedance matching circuit, wherein (a) a first portion of the first electrode and a first portion of the second electrode are adjacent to and substantially parallel with each other, (b) a second portion of the first electrode is angled in a direction away from the second electrode, (c) a second portion of the second electrode is angled in a direction away from the first electrode, and (d) a stray electromagnetic field is generated in a region above the space between the first portion of the first electrode and the first portion of the second electrode, whereby the generated stray field can be used to heat a composition when the composition is placed in the region.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2001Date of Patent: September 9, 2003Assignee: Codaco, Inc.Inventors: William J. Ryan, Jonathan M. Gorbold, Gary C. Adishian

Publication number: 20020079121Abstract: A susceptor composition that can bond two or more layers or substrates to one another and that can be used to coat or cut a substrate. The susceptor composition is activated in the presence of radio frequency (RF) energy. In one embodiment, the susceptor composition of the present invention comprises at least one ionomer and a polar carrier. The ionomer and polar carrier are blended with one another and form a mixture, preferably a uniform mixture. The ionomer and polar carrier are present in an amount effective to allow the susceptor composition to be heated by RF energy. Also disclosed are RF induction heating systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2001Publication date: June 27, 2002Applicant: Ameritherm, Inc.Inventors: William J. Ryan, Francisco Chiarilli, Gary C. Adishian, Jonathan M. Gorbold

Patent number: 4240100Abstract: A television interval timer generates a plurality of gating waveforms which when applied to digital circuitry, serve to gate out various portions of a television waveform determinative of a parameter to be measured. The parameter to be measured is selected by means of a selector panel which assigns a predetermined address to that parameter. The address is employed to select the proper gating waveform, the reference level at which the measurement is to be made, and the transition at the start and finish of the measurement. A counter is controlled to count a number of transitions which occur during the selected interval and which is a direct indication of the duration or timing interval associated with the parameter selected. The contents of the counter are directly displayed on a digital display to enable the user to directly view the parameter measured.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1979Date of Patent: December 16, 1980Assignee: Marconi Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan M.
