  • Sun shade systems
    Patent number: 9290082
    Abstract: A self-adhering sun shield fixedly-coupleable to a windshield of a vehicle system includes a self-adhering sun shield assembly having a first self-adhering sun shield removable sticker, a second self-adhering sun shield removable sticker; and a third self-adhering sun shield removable sticker. The self-adhering sun shield fixedly-coupleable to a windshield of a vehicle system includes the self-adhering sun shield assembly. The self-adhering sun shield assembly is self-adhering to the windshield via static electricity. The first self-adhering sun shield removable sticker, the second self-adhering sun shield removable sticker, and the third self-adhering sun shield removable sticker form self-adhering sun shield assembly when removably-adhered to the windshield to prevent sun glare when in an in-use condition.

  • High alumina refractory shapes
    Patent number: 5338711
    Abstract: Mixes for forming high alumina refractory shapes with high resistance to aluminum penetration comprising at least about 60% by weight aluminum oxide, about 1 to 5% by weight boron phosphate, and about 5 to 15% by weight silicon carbide. A phosphorous-containing binder is added and the mix can be formed into brick which when cured or burned to a temperature below the oxidation temperature of silicon carbide can be used to minimize aluminum penetration and dross when the brick are employed in a metallurgical vessel in contact with molten aluminum.
