Michael Bomar 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: 8434544
    Abstract: A die casting process using pattern recognition techniques to identify those die castings manufactured under conditions likely to produce a die casting which would subsequently prove unacceptable for use. By promptly identifying such die castings, they may be discarded before being shipped to a remote facility for further processing. As a result, the rejection rate of die castings at the remote facility may be reduced and the raw materials used to form the discarded die castings may be more readily recycled.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 9, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2013

  • Patent number: 6779583
    Abstract: A die casting process uses information derived from analysis of a prior casting to modify the process producing a subsequent casting. An aluminum alloy casting is manufactured at a first location. During the manufacture thereof, plural physical parameters are measured and recorded in an entry in memory. Further during the manufacture thereof, the casting is marked with a unique identifier which is stored, with the plural physical parameters, in the entry. The castings are then shipped to a second location, remotely located relative to the first location, for chrome plating. The chrome plated castings are examined for defects and, using the unique identifier on the casting, the casting is associated with the entry containing the physical parameters under which it was manufactured. The physical parameters may then be adjusted so that the subsequent castings are manufactured under conditions less likely to produce defects.

  • Patent number: 6772821
    Abstract: A die casting system for manufacturing die castings configured for measuring plural physical parameters during the forming of each die casting and to associate the measured physical parameters with the specific die casting manufactured under those conditions and any defect information subsequently acquired for that die casting. By enabling a die casting manufacturing system to associate such types of information, control over the manufacturing process may be enhanced.
