Patent number: 5684461Abstract: A sleep prevention device for a driver of a vehicle including a head set with a U-shaped configuration. Also included is a mercury switch assembly with at least one mercury switch. Mercury resides within each mercury switch and closes contacts located therein upon a head of the driver tilting forward or rearwardly. Upon the closing of such and closes activation signal may be transmitted. Further provided is an alarm unit including an alarm for indicating to the driver the receipt of the activation signal. The alarm unit is connected to contacts of the mercury switches, the alarm, and a power source and further adapted to transmit an alarm signal to the alarm upon the transmission of the activation signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1996Date of Patent: November 4, 1997Inventor: Richard Sidney Jones

Patent number: 5059510Abstract: Provided is an information recording medium, e.g., an optical recording medium, and a method for recording information thereon. The information layer of the recording medium comprises an organo macrocyclic chromophore containing a central hetero atom or two central hydrogen atoms or isotopes of hydrogen, e.g., a naphthalocyanine having silicon as the hetero atom, which chromophore is substituted with at least one substituent conferring film forming properties to the chromophore, e.g., a monomer or oligomeric substituent comprised of acid, amide or ester units. The information layer thereby offers excellent thermomechanical properties and exhibits excellent absorption properties all in a single component material. By utilizing a single component material, the problem of dye/polymer phase separation frequently encountered in dye/polymer mixtures is also overcome.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1989Date of Patent: October 22, 1991Assignee: Hoechst Celanese Corp.Inventors: R. Sidney Jones, Jr., David E. Nikles, Malcolm E. Kenney

Patent number: 4933083Abstract: A composite permselective membrane comprises an ultrathin semipermeable layer comprising a polybenzimidazole polymer in occluding contact with at least one surface of a microporous polymer support layer. Such membranes provide better combinations of flux and rejection rates in reverse osmosis processes than do conventional semipermeable membranes of polybenzimidazole polymer alone. In an embodiment, a composite permselective membrane is prepared by casting an ultrathin semipermeable layer of the polybenzimidazole polymer on a microporous polymer support layer. The semipermeable layer is preferably subjected to a drying step to evaporate part of the polybenzimidazole polymer solvent, then contacted with a coagulating bath.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1985Date of Patent: June 12, 1990Assignee: Hoechst Celanese Corp.Inventor: R. Sidney Jones, Jr.

Patent number: 4783386Abstract: Provided is an optical information recording medium and a method of recording information thereon. The information layer of the recording medium comprises an anthracyanine or phenanthracyanine chromophore compound. In a preferred embodiment, the chromophore is substituted with at least one substituent conferring film forming properties to the chromophore, e.g., a monomer or oligomeric substituent comprised of acid, amide or ester units. The resulting information layer exhibits strong absorption in the range of from about 780-850 nm. Employing an anthracyanine or phenanthracyanine chromophore substituted with a film forming substituent further offers the advantages of a single component material exhibiting good thermomechanical properties.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 1987Date of Patent: November 8, 1988Assignee: Hoechst Celanese CorporationInventors: David E. Nikles, R. Sidney Jones, Jr., James E. Kuder

Patent number: 4728724Abstract: Provide is an optical data storage medium comprising a chromophore/polymer composition information layer, wherein the polymer and chromophore are chemically bound so as to improve chromophore/polymer compatibility. If necessary, the chromophore or the polymer may be modified to improve their interaction. When modification is desired, it is preferred to modify the polymer so as not to disturb the chromophore structure, which is generally selected for its absorption features. The interaction between the chromophore and polymer can be either covalent on non-covalent. The overall result is an information layer having improved chromophore/polymer compatibility.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1985Date of Patent: March 1, 1988Assignee: Hoechst Celanese CorporationInventors: R. Sidney Jones, Jr., Michael M. Besso, James E. Kuder

Patent number: 4725525Abstract: Provided is an information recording medium and a method for recording information thereon. The information layer of the recording medium comprises a naphthalocyanine chromophore, e.g., a sulfonamidonaphthalocyanine having silicon or germanium as the central hetero atom. Information can thereby be readily recorded via a thermal deformation technique due to the effective absorption by the dye of light in the wavelength range of about 760-850 nm. The naphthalocyanine chromophores exhibit excellent chemical and photolytic stability, their use thereby increasing the useful life of the recording medium.Provided herein are also novel naphthalocyanine chromophore compounds which are useful in optical recording media, and which exhibit exceptional solubility characteristics. Such chromophores are thereby readily applied as a film in the formulation of an information recording medium.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1986Date of Patent: February 16, 1988Assignee: Hoebbst Celanese CorporationInventors: Malcolm E. Kenney, R. Sidney Jones, Jr., James E. Kuder, David E. Nikles

Patent number: 4605607Abstract: Provided is an optical data storage medium comprising a chromophore/polymer composition information layer, wherein the chromophore is chemically bound or coordinated with the polymer. The chromophore is an organo macrocyclic chromophore containing a constituent metal atom, and preferably a central metal atom, with the chromophore being coordinated to the polymer through the metal atom. As a result, the chromophore/polymer material has excellent film-forming properties so that the medium can be readily and efficiently manufactured. As well, the resulting information layer offers excellent thermomechanical properties and exhibits excellent absorption properties, all in a single component material. By utilizing a single component material, the problem of dye/polymer phase separation frequently encountered in conventional dye/polymer mixtures is also overcome.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1985Date of Patent: August 12, 1986Assignee: Celanese CorporationInventors: David E. Nikles, R. Sidney Jones, Jr., James E. Kuder
