Patents by Inventor Kenjiro Tanimoto

Kenjiro Tanimoto has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11923106
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing wire and cable products with a polymer cable component is provided. The method includes increasing the hardness of a polymer cable component in order to reduce compression and deformation of the cable components during manufacturing. In some instances, the hardness is temporarily increased prior to or during the process of creating twisted pair or during the cabling process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2022
    Date of Patent: March 5, 2024
    Assignees: DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, LTD., DAIKIN AMERICA, INC.

  • Publication number: 20240016278
    Abstract: An assembly includes a tube that transfers a liquid having a refractive index of 1.35 to 1.41, and a formed article provided with a fitting section to which one end of the tube is fitted. The formed article is formed from a non-fluoropolymer. The tube is formed from a fluoropolymer having a tensile elastic modulus of 300 MPa or more. The non-fluoropolymer has a tensile elastic modulus that is not less than 1.2 times the tensile elastic modulus of the fluoropolymer.

  • Patent number: 9080035
    Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous fluoropolymer dispersion that shows favorable dispersion stability and is less likely to have a pH decrease even after storage for a long period of time. The present invention provides an aqueous fluoropolymer dispersion including: a fluoropolymer; a fluorine free surfactant; at least one organic electrolyte selected from the group consisting of hydroxy monocarboxylic acids, hydroxy dicarboxylic acids, tricarboxylic acids, and amino acids; and a fluorine-containing anionic surfactant containing not more than 7 carbon atoms.

  • Patent number: 8143351
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a fluororesin composition which hardly causes molding defects even when high-speed molding is performed in covering extrusion molding within a relatively broad molding temperature range and which can give covered electric wires, in particular foamed electric wires, excellent in surface smoothness. A fluororesin composition comprising a polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE] having a standard specific gravity of 2.15 to 2.30 and a tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene-based copolymer [FEP], the content of said PTFE being 0.
