Patent number: 8927113Abstract: A composite metal ingot, comprising at least two layers of differing alloy composition, wherein pairs of adjacent layers consisting of a first alloy and a second alloy are formed by applying the second alloy in a molten state to the surface of the first alloy while the surface of the first alloy is at a temperature between solidus and liquidus temperatures of the first alloy to form an interface there between, wherein the second alloy is a high or medium strength heat treatable aluminum alloy, and further wherein one or more alloy components from the second alloy are present within grain boundaries of the first alloy adjacent said interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Novelis Inc.Inventors: Mark Douglas Anderson, Kenneth Takeo Kubo, Todd F. Bischoff, Wayne J. Fenton, Eric W. Reeves, Brent Spendlove, Robert Bruce Wagstaff

Patent number: 8415025Abstract: A composite metal ingot having two or more lengthwise alloy layers including adjacent first and second layers respectively formed of an aluminum-manganese alloy and an aluminum alloy of a different composition wherein the interface between the first and second layers is in the form of a substantially continuous metallurgical bond characterized by the presence of particles of one or more intermetallic compositions containing manganese from the first layer dispersed within a region of the second layer adjacent the interface, the first and second layers having been formed by applying the alloy for the second layer to a self-supporting surface of the first layer while the self-supporting surface is at a temperature between the solidus and liquidus temperatures of the first layer alloy.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2010Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Novelis Inc.Inventors: Mark Douglas Anderson, Kenneth Takeo Kubo, Todd F.

Publication number: 20130034744Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for the casting of a composite metal ingot having two or more separately formed layers of one or more alloys. An open ended annular mould is provided having a divider wall dividing a feed end of the mould into at least two separate feed chambers. For each pair of adjacent feed chambers, a first alloy stream is fed through one of the pair of feed chambers into the mould and a second alloy stream is fed through another of the feed chambers. A self-supporting surface is generated on the surface of the first alloy stream and the second alloy stream is contacted with the first stream. By carefully selecting conditions and positions where the alloy streams meet, a composite metal ingot is formed in which the alloy layers are mutually attached with a substantially continuous metallurgical bond.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2012Publication date: February 7, 2013Inventors: Mark Douglas Anderson, Kenneth Takeo Kubo, Todd F.

Patent number: 7020163Abstract: The present invention relates to a frame communication system composed of a code converter and a frame generator/decomposer. In order to improve a line efficiency without encapsulating transmitting data, a code converter in a frame transmitting device converts at least different specific codes X and Y within the transmitting data respectively into codes (Y, A) and (Y, B) composed of the code Y and at least specific codes A and B different from each other, and a frame generator prepares a frame of the transmitting data with the code X as a frame boundary. A frame decomposer in a frame receiving device recognizes a specific code X as a frame boundary to decompose receiving data, and a code converter converts codes (Y, A) and (Y, B) within the receiving data composed of a specific code Y, and specific codes A and B into codes X and Y.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2002Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Toshiyuki Yoshida, Takeo Kubo, Takaharu Kajiwara, Tsuyoshi Matsumoto, Hidetoshi Amari, Masashi Hirome

Patent number: 4781587Abstract: A dental treatment device for protecting a tongue and removing liquid in a mouth comprises an elongated member and a protecting member connected to an end portion of the elongated member. The elongated member includes a hole extending therethroough, and a connecting portion communicating the hole. The connecting portion is connected to a vacuum source for inhaling fluid through the hole. The protecting member includes a body member having a space formed therein for communicating the hole of the elongated member and at least one opening communicating the space, and a first protecting plate connected to the body member. The first protecting plate extends substantially laterally outwardly from an upper portion of the body member so that when the body member is disposed along a side of a tongue, a part of an upper portion of the tongue is covered by the first protecting plate to thereby protect and depress the tongue and the liquid in the mouth is removed through the opening of the body member.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 1986Date of Patent: November 1, 1988Inventor: Takeo Kubo
