Patent number: 10774235Abstract: The invention relates to a thin, nano-structured coating that provides optical light efficiency enhancement. The dried coating contains nano-structures that provide a very low haze level of less than 2 percent, and a light transmission improvement of at least 1% over the non-coated substrate. For the nano-structured coating on an acrylic substrate the transmission is greater than 93 percent, and preferably greater than 94 percent. The coatings of the invention are especially useful for optical electronic displays and photovoltaic modules.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2009Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Arkema FranceInventors: Jiaxin Jason Ge, Michael T. Burchill, Ravi R. Gupta, Scott Gaboury

Publication number: 20120015246Abstract: This invention relates to a waterborne fluoropolymer composition useful for the fabrication of Li-Ion-Battery (LIE) electrodes. The fluoropolymer composition contains an organic carbonate compound, which is more environmentally friendly than other fugitive adhesion promoters currently used in waterborne fluoropolymer binders. An especially useful organic carbonate compound is ethylene carbonate (EC) and vinylene carbonate (VC), which are solids at room temperature, and other carbonates which are liquid at room temperature such as propylene carbonate, methyl carbonate and ethyl carbonate. The composition of the invention is low cost, environmentally friendly, safer, and has enhanced performance compared to current compositions.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2011Publication date: January 19, 2012Applicant: Arkema Inc.Inventors: Ramin Amin-Sanayei, Scott Gaboury

Patent number: 7703444Abstract: A system, method, and article of manufacture for reducing the rate of fuel vapor formation within a fuel storage tank include a plurality of discrete independent floating particles or elements to reduce exposed evaporative surface area of fuel in the fuel storage tank while conforming to a changing fuel tank cross-section as fuel level changes. The elements or particles may have a self-tessellating geometry to facilitate formation of a single or multi-layer barrier or cover and be made or coated with a material that resists fuel wetting and degradation, such as a highly fluorinated polymer including polytetrafluoroethylene.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2005Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Steven Schondorf, Scott Gaboury, Craig Stephan

Patent number: 7344781Abstract: This polymeric composition comprises a blend of polymers comprising: (a) a semi-crystalline fluorinated polymer, (b) an acrylic polymer, and is characterized in that it additionally comprises: (c) from 0.01 to 20% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the semi-crystalline fluorinated polymer and of the acrylic polymer, of a nucleating agent in the form of particles having a melting point greater than that of the semi-crystalline fluorinated polymer. These compositions result in formulations in the form of dry powders or of powders in suspension in water or in a latent solvent for the semi-crystalline fluorinated polymer. Applied to a substrate, these formulations give, by baking, glossy and stable coatings comprising spherulites with a size of less than 5 ?m.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2004Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: Arkema FranceInventors: Xavier Drujon, Scott Gaboury, Sophie Schneider, Jean-Claude Wittmann

Patent number: 7320478Abstract: A smart airbag (14) is monitored by a vehicle restraint control module (24) and includes a state sensor (42) that generates an airbag state signal. A smart airbag fault circuit (40) is coupled to the state sensor (42) and includes multiple state devices (50). Each of the state devices (50) has a characteristic that is indicative of the state of the smart airbag (14). The state devices (50) are configured to be monitored by the vehicle restraint control module (24). A smart airbag state monitor (44) is separate from the vehicle restraint control module (24), is coupled to the state devices (50), and alters the state in response to the airbag state signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2004Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: Ford Global Technologies LLCInventors: Scott Gaboury, David Tippy, Ian Hall, Mariquis Edwards
