Patent number: 11959050Abstract: The invention includes ware detergent compositions which provides superior cleaning and removal of oily and fatty soils, without the production of excessive foam. According to the invention applicants have discovered that use of a quaternary cationic surfactant in combination with a nonionic low foaming surfactant can provide oily soil removal from ware that is superior to traditional warewash detergent formulations. Compositions for alkaline, preferably solid, warewash detergents are disclosed, as well as their use in dish machines and methods of manufacture.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: ECOLAB USA INC.Inventors: David Dotzauer, Richard Fu, Lisa M. Sanders, Monique Roerdink Lander, John Mansergh, Carter M. Silvernail, Matthew Luedtke

Publication number: 20090196817Abstract: A method for making a copper indium chalcogenides powder, includes: (a) reacting a reactant mixture that contains a Cu-containing material, an In-containing material, and a chalcogenides-containing material in a polar organic solvent at an elevated temperature so as to form a precipitate, the polar organic solvent having a molecular structure containing at least one of nitrogen atom and oxygen atom, each of which having at least one lone electron pair, the polar organic solvent further having a dipole moment greater than 2.3 debye; and (b) separating the polar organic solvent from the precipitate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2008Publication date: August 6, 2009Inventors: Richard FU, Wen-Chi HUANG, Bang-Yen CHOU, Shih-Jen LIN, Chun-Hui C.

Patent number: 7569452Abstract: A filter capacitor comprising a pre-sintered substrate supporting alternating active and ground electrode layers segregated by a dielectric layer is described. The substrate is of a ceramic material that maintains its shape and structure dimensions even after undergoing numerous sintering steps. Consequently, relatively thin active and ground electrode layers along with the intermediate dielectric layer can be laid down or deposited by a screen-printing technique. Using a relatively thin over-glaze in comparison to a thick upper dielectric layer finishes the capacitor. Consequently, a significant amount of space is saved in comparison to a comparably rated capacitor or, a capacitor of a higher rating can be provided in the same size as a conventional prior art capacitor. The pre-sintered ceramic substrate is used instead of conventional tape cast technology for the base dielectric.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2006Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignee: Greatbatch Ltd.Inventors: Richard Fu, Christine Frysz, Mingguang Zhu, Kenneth Billings

Publication number: 20070217121Abstract: A filter capacitor comprising a substrate of at least one layer of a low temperature co-fires ceramic (LTCC) tape supporting alternating active and ground electrode layers segregated by a dielectric layer is described. The substrate is preferably a laminate of three LTCC tapes pieces that are heated under pressure and at a relatively low temperature to become a laminate that maintains its shape and structure dimensions even after undergoing numerous sintering steps. Consequently, relatively thin active and ground electrode layers along with the intermediate dielectric layer can be laid down or deposited on the LTCC substrate by a screen-printing technique. A second laminate of LTCC tapes is positioned on top of the active/dielectric/ground layers to finish the capacitor. Consequently, a significant amount of space is saved in comparison to a comparably rated capacitor or, a capacitor of a higher rating can be provided in the same size as a conventional prior art capacitor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2007Publication date: September 20, 2007Applicant: Greatbatch Ltd.Inventors: Richard Fu, Christine A.

Publication number: 20070183118Abstract: Ferrules made of nano-titanium for incorporation into feedthrough filter capacitor assemblies are described. The feedthrough filter capacitor assemblies are particularly useful for incorporation into implantable medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, cardioverter defibrillators, and the like, to decouple and shield internal electronic components of the medical device from undesirable electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals. Nano-titanium experiences significantly less grain growth after high temperature brazing in comparison to commercially pure (CP) titanium and the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. For that reason, nano-titanium is an ideal material for use in implantable medical applications where high strength, structural integrity even after heating and corrosion resistance are desired.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2007Publication date: August 9, 2007Applicant: Greatbatch Ltd.Inventors: Richard Fu, Huadong Lou, Christine Frysz
