Vincent Cook has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6598281
    Abstract: A method for mounting a metal body on an essentially straight measuring tube, made of titanium or zirconium, of a Coriolis mass flowmeter. The method ensures secure retention of the metal body on the measuring tube even through very extended operation of the Coriolis mass flowmeter, in that the metal body is shrink-mounted on the measuring tube.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 4, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 29, 2003
    Assignee: Krohne A.G.

  • Patent number: 6519828
    Abstract: Description and illustration of a method for mounting a metal body (1) on an essentially straight measuring tube (2), made of titanium or zirconium, of a Coriolis mass flowmeter. The method ensures secure retention of the metal body (1) on the measuring tube (2) even through very extended operation of the Coriolis mass flowmeter, in that the metal body (1) is shrink-mounted on the measuring tube (2).

  • Publication number: 20020107325
    Abstract: Clearcoat coating composition for automotive exterior coatings with improved intercoat adhesion to a subsequently applied coating layer and improved flexibility contains (a) a first vinyl copolymer prepared from a monomer mixture including no more than about 35% by weight of nonfunctional monomers that has carbamate functionality and hydroxyl functionality, at least part of the hydroxyl functionality being on monomer units including an optionally branched alkyl group having at least about six carbon atoms; (b) a second vinyl copolymer having hydroxyl functionality, preferably primary hydroxyl functionality; and (c) a curing agent component that includes at least an aminoplast curing agent and optionally a polyisocyanate curing agent. The polyisocyanate curing agent is preferably blocked with a blocking agent that volatilizes during the cure reaction, regenerating a reactive isocyanate group.

  • Patent number: 6397685
    Abstract: A mass flowmeter operating by the Coriolis principle and incorporating an essentially straight, moving-fluid-conducting Coriolis measuring tube, at least one oscillator associated with and exciting the Coriolis measuring tube, at least one detector associated with the Coriolis measuring tube and sensing the Coriolis forces and/or the Coriolis oscillations generated by Coriolis forces, and a compensating cylinder in which the Coriolis measuring tube is positioned, the Coriolis measuring tube and the compensating cylinder being connected to each other in which the oscillation-capable system composed of the Coriolis measuring tube and the compensating cylinder is at least to a large extent mass-equalized both for the excitation oscillation of the Coriolis measuring tube and for the Coriolis oscillation of the Coriolis measuring tube.
