Patent number: 8420747Abstract: A thermosetting polymer material capable of being used in powder coatings. The thermosetting polymer material includes at least one hydroxyl functional aliphatic polycarbonates that is formulated and crosslinked with isocyanates to yield a thermoset organic coating material. These materials provide improved weatherability as compared to prior art powder coating materials while also being less expensive than prior art materials utilizing fluorinated polymers.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2008Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Sabic Innovative Plastics IP B.V.Inventors: Jon M Malinoski, Paul D Sybert, Christopher Michael Eastman, Sumeet Jain, Rainer Koeniger, Michael Todd Luttrell, Glen David Merfeld, James Edward Pickett, Jason Joseph Testa

Patent number: 7957832Abstract: A method for vibration avoidance in automated machinery produces actuator space-time contours that meet design objectives of the machinery while suppressing energy content at frequencies in the space-time contour, by concatenating multiple space-time contour segments together in such a way as to be mostly free of energy at the frequencies of interest while meeting other specified design goals. The segments used to construct these frequency-optimized-contours are a series of concatenated polynomial segments, the independent variable t being time. These segments can define the variable to be controlled (e.g. speed or distance) versus time, or define one of the controlled variable's time-derivatives (e.g., the slope of the speed vs. time, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2009Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Teknic, Inc.Inventor: Francis Joseph Testa

Patent number: 7453677Abstract: A power and safety control hub, integrating fault tolerant power disconnect control, software monitoring of disconnect and multi-voltage power distribution and disconnect with non-hazardous power control, EMI filtering and multi-circuit current protection in a single unit, coordinating shutdown of connected mechanical drives, commanding them to come to a controlled stop before safety power is disconnected. The hub may also integrates segmented hazardous power control and automatically discharge energy sources within connected mechanical drives at the time of safety power disconnect of hazardous power. The hub may also include internal self-protection that automatically forces a control safety power disconnect (after warning the host) if the unit should approach its maximum operating temperature, or if a cooling fan stops.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2005Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Teknic, Inc.Inventors: Thomas John Bucella, Jeremy Michael Block, David Edward Fuchs, Francis Joseph Testa, David William Sewhuk, David Roger Larson
