Patent number: 9627871Abstract: A floor box assembly includes a floor box, a mounting plate, a below-floor insulation kit, and an intumescent stem. When the floor box is installed on a floor deck having flutes and valleys, the mounting plate straddles one or more valleys and supports the floor box. The below-floor insulation kit closes off the flutes adjacent to the valley straddled by the mounting plate, and the intumescent stem penetrates the floor deck at the bottom of the valley. When installed, the floor box assembly is held together by attachment fasteners extending from the mounting plate through the floor deck and the below-floor insulation kit.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2009Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: The Wiremold CompanyInventors: Timothy S. Bowman, Michael Guerrette, Nathan Hoffman, Craig Jones

Publication number: 20070274092Abstract: A light diffusing film for a back light display is described. The light diffusing film includes a unitary film consisting essentially of polycarbonate and a uniformly dispersed anti-static material in an amount sufficient to impart anti-static properties to the film. The anti-static material may comprise a fluorinated phosphonium sulfonate. The film may additionally include at least one textured surface for the low scattering of light. Alternatively, the film may additionally include a uniformly dispersed acrylic bulk scattering additive of particles having a mean particle size of from about 3 to about 10 microns and present in an amount from about 2 to about 7 percent by weight percent for the high scattering of light.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2004Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventors: Grant Hay, Kevin Capaldo, Gheorghe Cojocariu, Karkala Kumar, Theodorus Hoeks, Todd Loehr, John Graf, Nathan Hoffman, Scott Leslie, Anshu Ghosal, Philippe Schottland

Lightweight protector against micrometeoroids and orbital debris (MMOD) impact using foam substances
Publication number: 20060090636Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for a shield to protect a surface from the impact of hyper-velocity projectiles. The apparatus comprises a foam material that is configured to cover the surface to be protected and is attached directly to that surface. A coating material is typically disposed on the outer surface of the foam material and may penetrate the foam material to a predetermined depth. The foam material and the coating material are selected to form a composite having predetermined values of sonic velocity, toughness, and thermal conductivity. The composite of foam material and coating material can be significantly lighter in weight than a metal shield having equivalent protective characteristics.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2004Publication date: May 4, 2006Inventors: Sherwin Yang, Nathan Hoffman, Adon Delgado, Alan Von Arx, Michael Moriarty, Kathleen Sevener, Gerard Pelletier -
Patent number: 6748851Abstract: A food-cooking vessel has a bottom plate and an upwardly extending continuous sidewall. A spigot assembly is secured to the sidewall above the bottom plate to allow draining of liquid from the vessel. A valve mounted in the spigot assembly regulates the flow of liquid from the vessel to an outlet spout. A filter is mounted in the spout to filter solid particles from the drained liquid. The spigot assembly has an attachment plate that is fixedly secured on the convex exterior surface of the sidewall surrounding a drain opening formed in the sidewall. A cylindrical attachment member is fixedly attached to the plate and extends through the plate into the drain opening without contacting the wall of the container, thereby avoiding the necessity of having the cylindrical member to conform to the convex wall of the vessel.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2003Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Inventor: Nathan Hoffman
