Publication number: 20160101303Abstract: A non-woven fabric includes flame retardant fibers and binding material mixed with the flame retardant fibers. The binding material sets a thickness of the fabric. Application of a flame to the fabric causes the binding material to degrade and the flame retardant fibers to expand to prevent a flame from passing through a hole in a wall of an appliance, a building, or an appliance and/or to protect wiring of an appliance, a building, or an appliance.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2015Publication date: April 14, 2016Inventors: Anthony L. Rockwell, Phillip J. Johnson, Jason Seward, Jason C. Bragg, Paula Miller, Jeffrey A. Tilton, William Kunkler

Publication number: 20130266787Abstract: A non-woven fabric includes flame retardant fibers and binding fibers mixed with the flame retardant fibers. The binding fibers set a thickness of the fabric. Application of a flame to the fabric causes the binding fibers to degrade and the flame retardant fibers to expand such that the thickness of the fabric increases, for example by a factor of two or more. The non-woven fabric can be used in a wide variety of different applications. For example, the non-woven fabric may be used to make seals of a drier, heat shields, fire barriers, and/or vents.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2013Publication date: October 10, 2013Applicant: Owens Corning Intellectual Capital, LLCInventors: Anthony L.

Patent number: 7322521Abstract: A Universal Ticket Transport (UTT) 10, 150 may be configured to read from and write to many types of magnetically encoded tickets 20 currently used in fare collection systems. The UTT 10, 150 includes a mechanical insertion interface and automated movement along a transport path 18 for tickets 20 of varying thicknesses that are presented at a range of different angles 40, 42 into and exiting from the UTT 10, 150. The UTT 10, 150 includes a mechanical assembly 156, 158 which may be rotated, and the belts 22, 24, 152, 154 and rollers 30, 32, 34, 36 reconfigured, to accommodate tickets 20 having top-face or bottom face magnetic stripes. The belt subassemblies A, C and the magnetic head subassembly B are configurable across a width W of the UTT 10, 150 to process tickets 20 having magnetic stripes which are offset from a center line 86.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2006Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignee: Cubic CorporationInventors: Graham H. Hilton, Paula Miller, Thomas Busch-Sorensen, Richard A. Pearson

Publication number: 20050227285Abstract: DNA constructs and other compositions and methods for controlling gene expression in eukaryotic cells and organisms are derived from bacterial quorum sensing systems. One or more cis elements from the luxI promoter (“lux box”) or a functionally similar sequence are incorporated in a eukaryotic promoter. A receptor protein from the LuxR family of transcriptional regulators, upon binding an acylated homoserine lactone (AHL) compound, interacts with the lux box, modulating the activity of the promoter.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2005Publication date: October 13, 2005Inventors: Tim Oulmassov, Kevin McBride, Paula Miller, John Anderson, Lyle Crossland, Thomas Adams, Barbara Qurollo, Victoria Gavrias
