  • Patent number: 11718427
    Abstract: A new fluid fill piston pump device comprising a piston chamber defined by an inner surface. Inside this piston chamber is an oscillating piston having an outer surface forming a sliding seal to the inner surface of the piston chamber. The oscillating piston separates the piston chamber into a gas chamber and a fluid chamber such that the sum of the two chambers remains the same as the piston oscillates changing the volume of the two chambers in opposition. As fluid is pumped into the container from the fluid chamber of the piston chamber, gas is drawn from the container into the gas chamber in the same action.

  • Publication number: 20220343945
    Abstract: A method, according to one approach, includes forming an underlayer of a magnetic recording medium. The underlayer includes encapsulated nanoparticles each comprising a magnetic nanoparticle encapsulated by an aromatic polymer, and a polymeric binder binding the encapsulated nanoparticles. The underlayer is cured by irradiating the underlayer for causing crosslinking of the polymeric binder. In another approach, a method includes forming an underlayer of a magnetic recording medium by spray coating a mixture of a magnetic nanoparticles, aromatic polymer, and polymeric binder onto a structure as a sprayed-on aerosol coating; and curing the underlayer.
