Publication number: 20080317996Abstract: An expandable insulation blanket includes a body of insulation material having a first edge and a second edge wherein the first and second edges are opposite one another. A first slit defines a first hinge point between a first end of the first slit and the first edge, a second hinge point between a second end of the first slit and the second edge and a third hinge point between a third end of the first slit and the first edge. A first hinge body is outlined by the first slit, the first hinge point and the third hinge point. A second slit extends across the first hinge body and defines a fourth hinge point between the second slit and the first slit. When expanded the insulation body includes a substantially triangular shaped opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2008Publication date: December 25, 2008Inventor: Anthony L. Rockwell

Patent number: 7462384Abstract: To provide a process of successively forming from an EL layer, a cathode, a barrier layer and a cover layer in the same multi-chamber. By using a same film deposition method to form the EL layer and the cover layer, as shown in FIG. 1A, the EL layer, the cathode, the barrier layer, and the cover layer can be formed in the same multi-chamber in succession. Thus, as shown in FIG. 1B, a sealed structure of an EL element can be formed.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2006Date of Patent: December 9, 2008Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shunpei Yamazaki, Noriko Shibata

Patent number: 7419713Abstract: The invention describes a composite component based on a sandwich structure, composed of: (a) at least two outer layers which independently of each other comprised at least one film, sheet, fiber mat and/or foam made from metal, plastic, glass, natural material and/or carbon, and (b) a core positioned between the outer layers, made from metal, plastic, natural material and/or paper having a large number of cavities, in which a casting resin system at least partially penetrates the outer layers and the core and the outer layers are bonded to the core by press molding. The composite component is characterised in that in at least one area of the sandwich structure the outer layers are pressed together and the compressed area of the sandwich structure is encapsulated with thermoplastic polymer. Composite base on a sandwich structure are obtained by encapsulating at least one area of the two outer layers. The encapsulating area is that area of the two outer layers have been pressed together.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2005Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: Bayer MaterialScience AGInventors: Reiner Wilkens, Reiner Erkelenz, Adolf Lammeck, Martin Klocke, Klaus Konejung
