Patent number: 7425795Abstract: This invention addresses how an end user can create an electroluminescent device (1, 31) using basic components obtained by the end user as retail items. The layers or subassemblies (15, 17) are created first. Then the layers are assembled to form a completed device customized as selected by the end user. The subassemblies may be created layer-by-layer by thermal inkjet. Elements used typically will be made by manufacturers and sold commercially separately. This encompasses the printing of conductive patterns for electroluminescence on paper. In one aspect a display has a main body that may be permanent and useful indefinitely, while a part carrying the conductive pattern defining the display is readily removed and is replaced by another such part on which a new conductive pattern is printed. For tight contact with the main body, the display provides releasable pressure. Air pockets are minimized with a thin layer of highly viscous dielectric liquid.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2005Date of Patent: September 16, 2008Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.Inventors: Frank Edward Anderson, Michael John Dixon, James Paul Drummond, Bryan Dale McKinley, Amanda Kay Plakosh-Angeles, Jerry Randall Reed, Jeanne Marie Saldanha Singh, George Nelson Woolcott

Publication number: 20060094047Abstract: This invention provides novel libraries of olfactory receptor odorant/ligand-binding domains and methods of making and using them. The invention also provides libraries of vectors and cells comprising these nucleic acid constructs. The compositions and methods of the invention are used to identify novel ligand-binding domains for olfactory neuron odorant receptors and their ligands. Thus, the compositions and methods of the invention can be used to generate novel odorants, to screen for toxic odorants, or to manipulate an animal's olfactory response.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2005Publication date: May 4, 2006Applicant: The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Randall Reed, King-Wai Yau, Dietmar Krautwurst

Patent number: 6013686Abstract: The present invention relates generally to blowing agent concentrates for forming porous, molded thermoplastic items, and, more particularly to blowing agent concentrates that are compatible with polycarbonate homopolymers, but which can be extruded without causing thermal decomposition of the blowing agent.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 1998Date of Patent: January 11, 2000Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Douglas G. Hamilton, Steven R. Peak, Randall A. Reed

Patent number: 5680925Abstract: Apparatus for use in repairing a conveyor system having a belt supported by a series of rollers mounted along a frame which supports the conveyor belt above the ground of a mining operation. The apparatus includes a belt support and at least one lifter connected to the belt support. The lifter operatively supports the belt support from the conveyor system frame and provides mechanical advantage in raising the belt support to lift at least one portion of the belt relative to the conveyor system, thereby separating the belt portion from at least one of the conveyor system rollers and freeing the roller.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1995Date of Patent: October 28, 1997Assignee: Eastern Associated Coal Corp.Inventors: Nelson Dale Gallagher, Randall Reed McNeely

Patent number: 5455323Abstract: A reduced glass transition temperature copolyester-carbonate which displays non-Newtonian melt behavior was synthesized by using bisphenol-A, a dicarboxylic acid and a trisphenol. The branched copolymer was obtained by interfacial phosgenation. One of the compositions described displays a Tg of about 127.degree. C. and twice the melt flow index of a branched polycarbonate of corresponding molecular weight or intrinsic viscosity.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1993Date of Patent: October 3, 1995Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Luca P. Fontana, Randall A. Reed

Patent number: 5260270Abstract: DNA molecules are taught which code for an odorant-binding protein which is synethesized solely in the lateral nasal gland. This protein, because of the broad range of odorants which it binds, can be used in many techniques for trapping odorants in either a liquid or solid medium. This protein bears some structural homology with other carriers of small lipophilic molecules from many other species; the carriers are known to transport specific lipophilic molecules.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1991Date of Patent: November 9, 1993Assignee: The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Solomon H. Snyder, Jonathan Pevsner, Randall Reed

Patent number: 5102696Abstract: Fluoropolymers in the form of solid particles of specified diameter and dispersed in water are added and mixed with polycarbonate resin particles at a rate of 0.1 to 9 liter/hour to obtain a uniform coating of the fluoropolymer on the polycarbonate resin particles. The proportion of fluoropolymer added is from 0.01 to about 70 parts for each 100 parts by weight of polycarbonates and mixing is carried out to continually bring polycarbonate resin particles (non-contacted) into contact with the fluoropolymer dispension as it is added.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1990Date of Patent: April 7, 1992Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Wie-Hin Pan, Randall A. Reed

Patent number: 4487858Abstract: A continuous process for incorporating additives into a thermoplastic fluid blend is provided; said additives typically being sensitive to the temperature at which the blend is produced, said process comprising the steps of blending a high viscosity silicone fluid and thermoplastic composition initially and feeding the additives with more thermoplastic into the extruder for blending.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1983Date of Patent: December 11, 1984Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Eric M. Lovgren, Joseph C. Golba, Jr., Randall A. Reed

Patent number: 4446090Abstract: A method of continuously producing blends of thermoplastic polymers and high viscosity silicone fluids is provided by injecting the silicone fluid into an extruder where the thermoplastic polymers are molten. The dispersion of the silicone fluid can be controlled by adjusting the blending temperature and blends having superior engineering properties and flame retardance produced.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1983Date of Patent: May 1, 1984Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Eric M. Lovgren, Joseph C. Golba, Jr., Randall A. Reed
