Robert Marchiando has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Wear resistant low friction coating composition, coated components, and method for coating thereof
    Patent number: 8034153
    Abstract: A composition for coating sliding or rolling or fretting or impacting members is formed by preparing a composite powder of TiB2 and BN, with a TiB2 to BN ratio ranging from 1:7 to 20:1, and a metallic matrix selected from the group consisting of nickel, chromium, iron, cobalt, aluminum, tungsten, carbon and alloys thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 11, 2011
    Assignee: Momentive Performances Materials, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert Marchiando, Jon Leist
  • Lubricant composition and cable pulling method
    Patent number: 7900892
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to enhanced compositions that facilitate the pulling of cables through conduits. In one embodiment, the composition comprises a sufficient amount of boron nitride, which, upon application onto the cable surface, allows the cable to be pulled faster and/or with less force through the conduit than without the boron nitride present. The invention further relates to a method for pulling cables through conduits by applying an effective amount of boron nitride composition onto the cable surface. Lastly, the invention relates to an apparatus for distributing a cable-pulling composition comprising a block of boron nitride onto a cable as it is being pulled through a conduit.

  • Fasteners Coated with Boron Nitride and Means for Securing Fasteners
    Publication number: 20080038083
    Abstract: An anti-seizing composition that facilitates securing fasteners in an assembly, e.g., a nail that is driven by a hammer or a threaded nail or screw that is screwed into a coupling, a nut, or a building block, etc. In one embodiment, the composition comprises a sufficient amount of boron nitride, which upon application on the contact surface of the fastener, allows the fastener to be quickly secured without seizing and/or galling. The invention further relates to a method for securing fasteners in an assembly by applying an effective amount of boron nitride powder composition onto the contact surface of the fasteners, i.e., the pointed end or the threaded surface of the shank.
