Patent number: 11875976Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a plasma source utilizing a macro-particle reduction coating and method of using a plasma source utilizing a macro-particle reduction for deposition of thin film coatings and modification of surfaces. More particularly, the present invention relates to a plasma source comprising one or more plasma-generating electrodes, wherein a macro-particle reduction coating is deposited on at least a portion of the plasma-generating surfaces of the one or more electrodes to shield the plasma-generating surfaces of the electrodes from erosion by the produced plasma and to resist the formation of particulate matter, thus enhancing the performance and extending the service life of the plasma source.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignees: AGC FLAT GLASS NORTH AMERICA, INC., AGC GLASS EUROPE, ASAHI GLASS CO., LTD.Inventors: John Chambers, Peter Maschwitz, Yuping Lin, Herb Johnson

Patent number: 11794652Abstract: An electro-optic element having multiple regions is disclosed. The electro-optic element comprises an electro-optic medium disposed between two electrodes. Further, the electro-optic medium is operable between activated and un-activated states based, at least in part, on exposure to an electrical potential. In some embodiments, in response to an electrical potential of a first polarity, the electro-optic medium may be substantially activated in one region and substantially un-activated in another region. In response to an electrical potential of a second polarity opposite the first polarity, the electro-optic medium may be substantially activated in both regions. In other embodiments, the electro-optic medium is operably activated such that electro-optic medium is activated in one region and un-activated in another region, regardless of polarity.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: GENTEX CORPORATIONInventors: Mario F.

Patent number: 11738382Abstract: The principles of the present invention further provide both a shaped metal container and its preforms that exhibit a rounded grain structure characteristic created by an annealing process and a method for making a shaped metal container. The process of making said metal container results in a quicker process time and uses less metals (at least 10% metal weight savings), thus allowing for a decrease in the costs of making such shaped metal containers. A shaped metal container may include work hardened rolled sheet-metal defining a sidewall, an opening, and a base, where at least one section along the sidewall has grains with an average aspect ratio less than about 4 to 1.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignees: The Coca-Cola Company, Ardagh MP Group Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Philippe Niec, Marc Lemiale, John Adams, Yuping Lin
