Publication number: 20190084282Abstract: A multilayer stack is described. The multilayer stack of the present arrangements includes: (i) a polymeric film; (ii) a stress relief layer disposed adjacent to the polymeric film. The stress relief layer includes a matrix and a dispersed phase. The dispersed phase is distributed inside the matrix. The stress relief layer provides stress-relief properties to the polymeric film during expansion and contraction of the polymeric film resulting from being subjected to high and low temperatures, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2017Publication date: March 21, 2019Applicant: Vitriflex, Inc.Inventors: Ravi PRASAD, Mark Allen GEORGE

Publication number: 20150075603Abstract: A coating is described. The coating includes a metal oxide layer, which in turn includes a surface having a water contact angle greater than 90 degrees. A metal-oxide coating composition is also described. The composition includes effective amounts of a first type and a second of metals and an effective amount of oxygen to react with the first type and the second type of metals to produce a first type and a second type of metal oxides, both of which produce a structure that is greater than about 50% (by volume) amorphous.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2013Publication date: March 19, 2015Inventors: Mark Allen George, Ching-Lin Chang, Ravi Prasad

Publication number: 20120017841Abstract: An automatic animal door having a door for closing off an entrance and a controls unit, the door having a vertical axis, a top, and a bottom, comprises means for rotating the door about a vertical axis. It is desired that the automatic animal door of the present invention rotates the door at preset times as follows: door opening at sunrise, door closing at sunset, door opening a short time thereafter, and door closing a final time in a 24 hour cycle a short time thereafter. A method of controlling the containment of birds using an automatic animal door, the automatic animal door having a door for closing off an entrance and a controls unit, comprises the step of automatically rotating the door about a vertical axis, preferably multiple times in a 24 hour period.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2010Publication date: January 26, 2012Inventors: Antonije Andric, Mark Allen George

Patent number: 6648021Abstract: A modular gas control device for use with a compressed gas cylinder (111) comprises a primary module (152) and a secondary module (252) mounted on the primary module. The primary module comprises a first supporting body (154) having a first main gas flow path (155) through the body. The supporting body has input connecting means (156) for mounting the body on the cylinder (111) and connecting the gas flow path (155) to communicate with the gas cylinder through a first flow path (157). Pressure reducing means (166) provides gas in the flow path at a lower pressure than in the container. Output connecting means (170) downstream of the pressure reducing means provides a low pressure outlet from the main gas flow path. A high pressure shut-off valve (164) is positioned upstream of the pressure reducing means, and filling means (161, 160) allows filling of the cylinder with compressed gas through the input connecting means (156) along a second flow path (159) separate from the input flow path (157).Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2002Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Dao-Hong Zheng, John Irven, Mark Allen George
