Publication number: 20240080594Abstract: A speaker can have a main body with a generally spheroidal shape, which can be supported standing on its end. The speaker can include a subwoofer that faces forward. A plurality of mid-range drivers can be distributed around the sub-woofer, facing generally forward and radially outward. A plurality of tweeters can be distributed around the sub-woofer, facing generally forward and generally outward. The outer housing portion of the speaker can be covered with a fabric material. A user interface ring 162 can be touch sensitive to receive input, and can have a plurality of lights that can be illuminated separately to convey information to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Timothy David Williamson, Peter Joseph Hamblin, Maximilian Vincent Wozniak, Robert James Wilson, Wilson E.

Patent number: 7255852Abstract: Precipitated silica comprising porous silica particles having a cumulative surface area for all pores having diameters greater than 500 ? of less than 8 m2/g, as measured by mercury intrusion, and a percentage cetylpyridinium chloride (% CPC) Compatibility of greater than about 55%. The precipitated silica product is especially well-adapted for use in dentifrices containing cetylpyridinium chloride, which do not attach to the low surface area silica product in a meaningful level and thus remain available for antimicrobial action. Processes for making the silica product are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2003Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: J.M. Huber CorporationInventors: Karl W. Gallis, Mark E. Wozniak, John A. Kostinko

Patent number: 7166271Abstract: Disclosed is a composite material comprising a boehmite substrate coated with a precipitated silica, the composite having a BET specific surface area of from 1 m2/g to 50 m2/g, such that the composite material has a % silica coating parameter value of about 5% to about 50%. Also disclosed is a dentifrice comprising this composite material. When included in a dentifrice composition, the composite material not only provides excellent abrasive and cleaning performance but also has compatibility with other ingredients used in dentifrice formulations, such as fluoride, flavors and cationic species.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2003Date of Patent: January 23, 2007Assignee: J.M. Huber CorporationInventors: Jason T. Zapf, William C. Fultz, Sung-Tsuen Liu, Mark E. Wozniak

Patent number: 6946119Abstract: Precipitated silica product having low surface area and enhanced flavor compatibility. The precipitated silica product is especially well-adapted for use in dentifrices containing cetylpyridinium chloride, which do not attach to the low surface area silica product in a meaningful level and thus remain available for antimicrobial action. Processes for making the low surface area silica product are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2003Date of Patent: September 20, 2005Assignee: J.M. Huber CorporationInventors: Karl W. Gallis, Fitzgerald A. Sinclair, Mark E. Wozniak, Jason T. Zapf, John A. Kostinko, Michael Simone

Patent number: 6313224Abstract: Curable coating compositions comprising either a liquid or particulate curable film-forming resinous material, a flow control agent which is a copolymer and optionally a carrier for the liquid resinous material. The copolymer is from at least one non-amino, non-hydroxyl and non-acid functional alkyl acrylate or methacrylate containing from 1 to 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, and functional monomer of either (i) amino functional acrylates and methacrylates in an effective amount to give the copolymer an amine value in the range from 2 to 70, or (ii) acid functional acrylate and methacrylate in an effective amount to give the copolymer an acid value in the range of from 10 to 30. Additionally, with either functional monomer (i) or (ii) another functional comonomer (iii) can be present in the copolymer which is hydroxyalkyl acrylate and/or hydroxyalkyl methacrylate and/or caprolactone polyol monomer.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1999Date of Patent: November 6, 2001Assignee: PPG Industrial Ohio, Inc.Inventors: Debra L. Singer, Kurt G. Olson, Kurt A. Humbert, Karen A. Barkac, Mark E. Wozniak

Patent number: 6251999Abstract: A catalytic tin carboxylate adduct, which is useful as a catalyst in epoxy-acid coating compositions, is the reaction product of (A) a mono-, di-, or poly-carboxylic acid functional compound and (B) an organotin compound containing one to three aryl groups and at least one halogen or hydroxyl group attached to the tin atom. There is also provided an epoxy-acid coating composition, which incorporates this catalytic tin carboxylate adduct. The epoxy-acid coating composition is advantageous as an automotive topcoat, particularly as a clear coat composition because it exhibits good appearance, durability, stability and generates no, or extremely low levels of benzene during the curing process.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1999Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Assignee: PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.Inventors: Daniel E. Rardon, Kurt A. Humbert, Karen A. Barkac, Peter Kamarchik, Jr., Mark E. Wozniak

Patent number: 6074474Abstract: A multi-component pigment slurry which comprises at least 50% solids. The slurry is formulated to be admixed into paint and coating compositions to promote TiO.sub.2 extension. The slurry includes a structured pigment, a coarse particle size pigment, and a fine particle size pigment. The structured pigment comprises about 20% to about 55% of the slurry by dry weight and has a median particle size diameter of about 0.7.mu. to about 6.0.mu.. The coarse particle size pigment preferably comprises about 20% to about 60% by weight of the slurry and has a median particle size diameter of about 3.0.mu. to about 10.0.mu.. The fine particle size pigment preferably comprises up to about 50% by dry weight of the slurry and has a median particle size diameter of about 0.2.mu. to about 1.0.mu..Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 1998Date of Patent: June 13, 2000Assignee: J.M. Huber CorporationInventors: Thad T. Broome, Mark E. Wozniak, James Ray Lamb
