Patent number: 10131758Abstract: Disclosed are polyurethane foam-forming compositions with a phase stable isocyanate-reactive composition that includes a halogenated olefin blowing agent that has low or no ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential. Such polyurethane foam-forming compositions are suitable for spray application to produce polyurethane foams that are believed to exhibit good fire resistance properties, low smoke generation and low or no scorch due to reduced exotherm, thereby making them particularly suitable for use, for example, as relatively thick wall and/or roof insulation.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2016Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: ACCELLA POLYURETHANE SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Usama Younes, Richard Romero, Kenneth Riddle, Timothy Pike

Publication number: 20060080354Abstract: A method and corresponding equipment for selecting data objects from a set of data objects in a source data store according to a predetermined method for assigning utility for each of the data objects in the set of data objects. The predetermined method for assigning utility typically takes into account a plurality of factors, and provides weights for each, so that, for example, the utility assigned to a data object decreases in time, but is enhanced if the data object has not yet been viewed by a user or if the data object is marked to indicate that a follow-up action is required. The invention is of use for example as part of or in connection with a mobile phone messaging user agent that stores in the mobile phone only the higher utility data objects (messages) in a full set of data objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2004Publication date: April 13, 2006Inventors: Adam Berger, Richard Romero

Publication number: 20050069558Abstract: The present invention provides machine readable media embedded with the three-dimensional molecular structure coordinates of SARS-CoV main protease and subsets thereof, including binding pockets, methods of using the structure to identify and design affecters, including inhibitors and activator, mutants of SARS Mpro, SARS Mpro crystals, and compounds and compositions that affect SARS Mpro activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2004Publication date: March 31, 2005Inventors: Jeffrey Bonanno, J. Sauder, Richard Fowler, Richard Romero

Patent number: 6551225Abstract: A balancing exercise device for an individual, having a flexible hemisphere having a flat circular surface and a hemispherical side surface and being made out of flexible resilient material which will compress when placed under pressure and pair of attachment straps respectively affixed on oppositely disposed sides of the hemispherical side surface and which are connected by connecting members respectively located on each attachment strap so that a body part is held against said flat circular surface when the attachment straps are connected.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2000Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Inventor: Ron Richard Romero

Patent number: 5897474Abstract: A unique biomechanical balancing and exercising device for rehabilitating body muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints in the ankles, legs, knees, and back in order to strengthen these areas to prevent injury. The balancing and exercising device comprises a rectangular shaped platform with a central opening therethrough to accommodate a semi flexible ball member. The platform utilizes a semi flexible ball member so that the individual has the ability to balance in numerous directions and have the angle of drop much steeper. A pair of ball-shaped rigid members are mounted on the platform and located adjacent to and on opposite sides of the central opening for balancing on and securing the semi flexible ball member therebetween. The platform is placed on top of the semi flexible ball member such that the central opening accommodates a top portion of the semi flexible ball member, and thereby allows the platform to be independently tilted or pivoted front-to-back up to a 25.degree.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 1998Date of Patent: April 27, 1999Inventor: Ron Richard Romero

Patent number: 5186472Abstract: A unitized seal includes a first seal casing having a radially-extending unitizing flange and a second seal casing having an annular elastomeric bumper. The bumper has an engagement surface which confronts the unitizing flange for engagement therewith. Upon installation of the seal, the unitizing flange compresses the bumper. Upon initial rotation of the seal, the unitizing flange slices into the bumper so as to form a labyrinth-type seal. This arrangement reduces running torque and seal lip temperature.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1991Date of Patent: February 16, 1993Assignee: Federal-Mogul CorporationInventors: Richard A. Romero, Jesus Bengoa

Patent number: 4936591Abstract: A unitized seal includes a first seal casing having a plastically deformable radially-extending unitizing flange and a second seal casing having at least one axially extending projection. The projection has an engagement surface which confronts the unitizing flange for engagement therewith. Upon installation of the seal, the projection axially deforms the unitizing flange in a localized area about the projection. Upon initial rotation of the seal the projection further axially deforms the remainder of the unitizing flange within one rotation. This arrangement minimizes the production of metal chips and/or abraded elastomeric particles during seal break-in and further minimizes resistance to seal rotation during break-in.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1989Date of Patent: June 26, 1990Assignee: Federal-Mogul CorporationInventor: Richard A. Romero

Patent number: 4433846Abstract: A fluid seal with sealing lips having a casing with a generally annular mounting flange portion, a second flange portion with portions thereof extending radially from the mounting portion and being subdivided into an intermediate portion and a bonding portion. At least one venting tab is formed by piercing the intermediate casing portion. The venting tab area provides a vent permitting passage of gas and vapor into and out of the sealed region. The tab area also is capable of removal or bending when engaged with a removal tool.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1983Date of Patent: February 28, 1984Assignee: Chicago Rawhide Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Richard A. Romero, Michael J. Schmidt
