Publication number: 20230002699Abstract: The instant disclosure provides a process for preparing a lubricant or fuel additive mixture where an oil of lubricating viscosity or fuel are blended with additives that are mixed via an acoustic mixer. The additives and oil of lubricating viscosity or fuel can mixed together or any component of the lubricant or fuel additive mixture can be mixed separately prior to mixing to form the final lubricant. The process provides for continuous mixing to form lubricant and/or fuel additive mixture final products.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2020Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: The Lubrizol CorporationInventors: Chris Huener, Dean Hodgkinson, Michael R. Sutton, David Moss, Mark Garner, Clifford P. Kowall

Publication number: 20040050131Abstract: A straightening roller assembly for section reducing an encasing tube to achieve excess length of fibers within the tube. At least one, and preferably two, platforms are arranged at a selected angular offset. Each platform includes a first plurality of rollers mounted in stationary, linear and spaced apart fashion. A second plurality of rollers are mounted in an adjustable, linear spaced apart and opposing fashion relative the associated first plurality of rollers. Upon the tube passing between the stationary and adjustable rollers associated with each platform, the rollers associated with each platform simultaneously contacting first and second cross sectional locations of the tube and in order to apply lateral compressing forces to the tube which decrease its gauge length, corresponding to increasing its gauge thickness.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2002Publication date: March 18, 2004Inventors: Cristian I. Militaru, Mark A. Garner

Patent number: 6464850Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing hydrophilic monomers which are particularly useful for electrophoresis and to electrophoresis compositions and coating compositions. The electrophoresis gel compositions and electrophoresis polymer compositions are hydrolytically stable and have high resolution. The method uses the steps of reacting a (meth)acryloyl with an aminoalcohol in the presence of a base in a polar solvent, optionally filtering an aqueous solution of the reaction product, deionizing an aqueous solution of the reaction product, and removing the solvent.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1999Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Assignee: BioWhittaker Molecular Applications, Inc.Inventors: Tianhong Zhang, Noriko Kusukawa, Mark Garner

Patent number: 6137058Abstract: A method of making a flexible coaxial cable is provided. The method comprises advancing a cable core comprising a conductor and an expanded foam dielectric surrounding the conductor along a predetermined path of travel, directing an elongate strip of copper onto the advancing cable core and bending the copper strip into a generally cylindrical form so as to loosely encircle the core. Opposing longitudinal edges of the thus formed copper strip are then moved into abutting relation and a longitudinal weld is formed joining the abutting edges to thereby form an electrically and mechanically continuous tubular copper sheath loosely surrounding the cable core. The cable core and the surrounding sheath are simultaneously advanced while the tubular sheath is deformed into an oval configuration loosely surrounding the core. The longitudinal weld of the advancing sheath is then directed against a scarfing blade and weld flash from the sheath is scarfed from the sheath.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1999Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: CommScope, Inc. of North CarolinaInventors: Alan N. Moe, Mark A. Garner

Patent number: 5959245Abstract: A flexible coaxial cable includes a core including at least one inner conductor and a foam polymer dielectric surrounding the inner conductor. The flexible coaxial cable also includes an electrically and mechanically continuous tubular copper sheath closely surrounding the core and adhesively bonded to the core. A protective outer jacket surrounds the tubular metallic sheath and is adhesively bonded to the tubular metallic sheath to increase the bending properties of the cable. The bond peel strength of the adhesive bond between the polymer jacket and the sheath is no more than 36 lb./in to provide a coaxial cable having excellent bending characteristics and which can be easily stripped to provide an electrical connection between the coaxial cable and other conductive elements. The present invention also includes a method of making flexible coaxial cable.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 1997Date of Patent: September 28, 1999Assignee: CommScope, Inc. of North CarolinaInventors: Alan N. Moe, Bruce J. Carlson, Mark A. Garner, Scott M. Adams

Patent number: 5873045Abstract: A mobile client system in which a tripartite organization is used to facilitate adaptation of the system to alternate or later developed wireless communication technology. In particular, the system of this invention contemplates the provision of an intermediate element, here called a holster, to enable effective cooperation between a computer system and a radio frequency transceiver. The transceiver, as here contemplated, will have additional capability beyond simple data exchange, and preferably will be a telephone or have telephone capability.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1997Date of Patent: February 16, 1999Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Peter Lee, Brian Ashley Carpenter, Mark Garner Noll, Robert E.

Patent number: 5511305Abstract: A tool and associated method facilitates removal of a residue of dielectric material from the inside surface of a tubular outer conductor of coaxial cable and strips a portion of the outer plastic jacket from the outer conductor in preparation for splicing or terminating the cable. The core finish tool includes a housing having a bore therethrough and an elongate metal body positioned in the bore. The elongate metal body has a hollow and enlarged frusto-conical front portion that defines a cutting member. The front portion is divided by four longitudinal slots which define four cutting member segments and respective adjacent arcuate segments that flex radially inward as the elongate body is inserted into the outer conductor to provide an outward radial bias to the cutting member. The residue is removed from the inside surface of the outer conductor as the tool is retracted from the cable. A cutting blade carried by the housing removes the outer plastic jacket as the tool is rotated about the cable.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1994Date of Patent: April 30, 1996Assignee: CommScopeInventor: Mark A.

Patent number: 4992490Abstract: A coating composition is described that is comprised of (1) polyacrylate fibers, (2) at least one monomer which forms an acrylic polymer, (3) styrene monomer, (4) unsaturated polyester resin, (5) a polymerization inhibitor (to prevent premature polymerization prior to application), and (6) an inert carrier in which each acrylic polymer-forming monomer and the styrene monomer are soluble. The inert carrier described and the miscible/soluble components form a medium wherein polyacrylate fiber suspension is easily achieved and maintained. The coating composition can be used as a base coat or primer without need for finishing prior to application of an overcoat of paint.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1988Date of Patent: February 12, 1991Assignee: Miracle Shield PartnershipInventors: David L.
