Patent number: 11619044Abstract: An example plasterboard includes a layer of hardened plaster having a first surface and an opposed second surface, a layer of polymer material having particles of one or more cementitiously-active substances mixed therein, and a liner between the first surface of the layer of hardened plaster and the layer of polymer material. Another example is a method of forming such a plasterboard. The method includes loading an extruder with the polymer material having the particles of one or more cementitiously active substances mixed therein, extruding the polymer material through a die to form the layer of polymer material on a surface of the liner, contacting with a layer of wet plaster material, the liner having the polymer material applied thereon such that the surface of the liner faces away from the wet plaster material, and drying the layer of wet plaster material to form the layer of hardened plaster.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2018Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: CertainTeed Gypsum, Inc.Inventors: Mithun N. Kamath, Choung-Houng Lai, Michael J. Lemberger, Gerald Boydston, Bryan Wiltzius, Nathan Frailey, Eric Dong

Patent number: 11303275Abstract: A system may include a power source. The power source supplies a first voltage. The system may also include a voltage regulator that receives the first voltage and supply a second voltage. Additionally, the system may include a microcontroller that receives the second voltage and output the second voltage via an output pin. Further, the system may include a switching element that receives the second voltage from the output pin of the controller at a first terminal and receives the first voltage from the power supply at a second terminal. The switching element selectively charges a first capacitor based on a difference between the first voltage and the second voltage.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David W. Messersmith, William T. Glaser, Michael J. Lemberger

Patent number: 11268277Abstract: This disclosure relates to using polyester films on building boards to enable improved surface coatings. The polyester film is preferably applied to a glass mat via an adhesive to form a laminate. This laminate is then bonded to the exterior surface of a gypsum board. The polyester film is advantageous because it allows for exterior surface coatings to be applied. In one embodiment, an exterior acrylic coating is applied to the polyester film. Boards constructed in accordance with this disclosure allow for exterior finishings to be achieved without the need for excessive finishing materials or steps.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Saint Gobain Placo SASInventors: Gerald D. Boydston, Bryan J. Wiltzius, Choung-Houng Lai, Michael J. Lemberger

Patent number: 10857770Abstract: A building board including a cementitious layer between two fiber mats. At least one fiber mat forms with a polymer film a fiber mat/polymer film laminate. The cementitious layer of the building board contains a reactive water-insoluble polymer which improves binding of the fiber mat/polymer film laminate to the cementitious layer. The building board has a low water absorption and a high level surface finish.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: CERTAINTEED GYPSUM, INC.Inventors: Choung-Houng Lai, Gerald Boydston, Bryan Wiltzius, Nathan Frailey, Michael J.

Patent number: 10472293Abstract: A building assembly can include a substrate and a water barrier coating film. The water barrier coating film can include a thermoplastic polymer and microporous particles, such as microporous glass beads. The water barrier coating film can provide a good protection towards liquid water but may allow water vapor flow from the substrate through the coating film. The water vapor permeability of the water barrier coating film can be at least 2 US perms as tested according to ASTM E96 (2014) at 21° C. and 50% average relative humidity.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2017Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: CERTAINTEED GYPSUM, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey H.
