  • Patent number: 11492291
    Abstract: Glasses with compressive stress profiles that allow higher surface compression and deeper depth of layer (DOL) than is allowable in glasses with stress profiles that follow the complementary error function at a given level of stored tension. In some instances, a buried layer or local maximum of increased compression, which can alter the direction of cracking systems, is present within the depth of layer. Theses compressive stress profiles are achieved by a three step process that includes a first ion exchange step to create compressive stress and depth of layer that follows the complimentary error function, a heat treatment at a temperature below the strain point of the glass to partially relax the stresses in the glass and diffuse larger alkali ions to a greater depth, and a re-ion-exchange at short times to re-establish high compressive stress at the surface.

  • Patent number: 11465759
    Abstract: On an aircraft, a multi-mode power generator is operated in a variable voltage mode to power an electric Wng Ice Prevention System (eWIPS), and is operated in a fixed voltage mode to provide backup power. When atmospheric conditions are conducive to the formation of ice (and main generators are operative), the multi-mode power generator is operated in variable voltage mode to power the eWIPS with a first or second variable voltage. The first variable voltage, the value of which depends on atmospheric conditions, is for anti-ice operation. The second variable voltage, which can be the maximum output voltage, is for de-ice operation. Transitions between different variable voltage levels are not instantaneous which eliminates fatigue damage due to transients. If a main generator fails (or when atmospheric conditions are not conducive to the formation of ice), the multi-mode power generator is operated in fixed voltage mode to provide backup power.

  • Patent number: 11359063
    Abstract: Disclosed are hot-melt, curl-free methods, structures, and compositions, which in flexible packaging applications, reduce mineral-oil, hydrocarbon migration into packaged food. One embodiment provides an optionally oriented base film having a first side and a second side that is a transparent or opaque film. Further, the composition comprises, consists essentially of, or consists of a water-based primer applied to the first side. Further still, the composition includes a barrier layer to mineral-oil migration, wherein the barrier layer is located between the adhesive-receptive layer and the polymeric substrate, and wherein the barrier layer consists essentially of: (i) polymers of polyvinyl alcohol, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polyester, polyamide, or combinations thereof; and (ii) optionally additives. The barrier layer provides a barrier to mineral-oil migration of 0.1 ?g/day*dm2 or less at 40° C. for 40 days, and the curl-resistant composition does not curl when heated for at least one hour at 60° C.
