Publication number: 20240068135Abstract: Interlacing equipment may be used to form fabric and to create a gap in the fabric. The fabric may include one or more conductive strands. An insertion tool may be used to align an electrical component with the conductive strands during interlacing operations. A soldering tool may be used to remove insulation from the conductive strands to expose conductive segments on the conductive strands. The soldering tool may be used to solder the conductive segments to the electrical component. The solder connections may be located in grooves in the electrical component. An encapsulation tool may dispense encapsulation material in the grooves to encapsulate the solder connections. After the electrical component is electrically connected to the conductive strands, the insertion tool may position and release the electrical component in the gap. A component retention tool may temporarily be used to retain the electrical component in the gap as interlacing operations continue.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Kyle L. Chatham, Kathryn P. Crews, Didio V. Gomes, Benjamin J. Grena, Storrs T. Hoen, Steven J. Keating, David M. Kindlon, Daniel A. Podhajny, Andrew L. Rosenberg, Daniel D. Sunshine, Lia M. Uesato, Joseph B. Walker, Felix Binder, Bertram Wendisch, Martin Latta, Ulrich Schläpfer, Franck Robin, Michael Baumann, Helen Wächter Fischer

Publication number: 20130091795Abstract: A method of the production of a composite roof batten includes forming a substantially rigid low-density lower reinforcing element with cup-shaped depressions defining moisture-passing channels therebetween and providing an upper reinforcing element. The cup-shaped depressions of the lower reinforcing element have introduced therein a low density closed cell foam material and the upper reinforcing element is positioned in overlying relationship to the lower reinforcing element. The foam material is allowed to fill the space defined between the lower reinforcing element and the upper reinforcing element and bond the elements together to form a composite roof batten.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2012Publication date: April 18, 2013Inventor: STEVEN BINDER

Patent number: 8033073Abstract: A roofing system, including at least one composite roof batten structured and arranged to support roof tile over a roof structure. The composite roof batten includes a substantially rigid low-density core, an upper reinforcing layer structured and arranged to reinforce the substantially rigid low-density core, and a lower reinforcing layer structured and arranged to reinforce the substantially rigid low-density core. The composite roof batten having at least one channel structured and arranged to assist the passage of moisture and air therethrough under the roof tile.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2008Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Inventor: Steven Binder

Publication number: 20060214508Abstract: A battery protection device for preventing vehicle batteries from being drained to the point that the battery cannot start the vehicle includes an electrical meter that measures at least one electrical characteristic of the battery and a microprocessor. The microprocessor compares this measurement to a minimum starter value corresponding to a battery charge level below which the battery will not be able to start the vehicle. If the minimum starter value is equal to or greater than the current measurement from electrical property measuring device, the battery protection device will open a switch, disconnecting the battery. An indicator then notifies the vehicle operator that the device has been actuated and upon his return to the vehicle, the operator will be able to reset the device and start the vehicle or turn off the electrical device that was left on.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2006Publication date: September 28, 2006Inventor: Steven Binder

Publication number: 20050106640Abstract: Analyses of serum samples for the presence and amount of either of the two subunits of human Factor XIII protein are used as a means of eliminating a significant source of error that arises in the testing of serum and plasma. For serum samples, a negative result of an analysis for the presence of subunit a is a means of verifying that a sample is indeed serum, while a negative or positive result for subunit a serves to distinguish serum (negative) from plasma (positive). A positive result for the presence of subunit b is a means of verifying that the sample is either serum or plasma and not any other biological fluid. A quantitative analysis of subunit b is a means of verifying that the sample is of the intended volume rather than having been reduced in volume due to improper sampling. A quantitative analysis of subunit b is also a means of verifying the dilution of a sample of either serum or plasma.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2004Publication date: May 19, 2005Applicant: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., a corporation of the state of DelawareInventors: Steven Binder, Jodi Goodrich, Zara Safarian
