Pat Ruzakowski Athey 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).

  • Methods of obtaining photoactive coatings and/or anatase crystalline phase of titanium oxides
    Patent number: 7842338
    Abstract: A method of making a photoactive coating includes depositing a first coating material containing zirconium oxide over at least a portion of a substrate and depositing a second coating material containing titanium oxide over at least a portion of the first coating material to provide a coated substrate. At least one of the first and second coating materials is deposited by pyrolytic deposition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 9, 2008
    Date of Patent: November 30, 2010
    Assignee: PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.
    Inventors: Pat Ruzakowski Athey, James J. Finley
  • METHODS OF OBTAINING PHOTOACTIVE COATINGS AND/OR ANATASE CRYSTALLINE PHASE OF TITANIUM OXIDES AND ARTICLES MADE THEREBY
    Publication number: 20080248291
    Abstract: A method of forming a material having a predetermined crystalline phase includes forming a film, forming a material, and heating one of a substrate, the film, or the material to have the material have at least one predetermined crystalline phase. The formed film includes a baddeleyite crystalline phase of zirconium oxide over at least a portion of a substrate surface that will enhance the growth of the predetermined crystal phase defined as a first forming step. The formed material is selected from at least one metal oxide or semiconductor metal oxide on the film defined as a second forming step.
