Patent number: 11802347Abstract: A molded article includes a first plateable region spaced apart from a second plateable region the first plateable region by a barrier of electrically insulating material. Each of the plateable regions include an associated plateable layer of electrically conductive material for being electroplated with a different plateable finish. Several different geometries and configurations of the barrier and/or the plateable regions are provided to prevent migration of plating material from one of the plateable regions acting as bipolar electrode while another one of the plateable regions is being electroplated. A non-plateable insert may be disposed between the plateable regions to prevent migration of plating material from one of the plateable regions onto the other one of the plateable regions. A conducive robber in electrical communication with one of the one of the plateable regions, and which may be removable, may also be used to prevent migration of plating material.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2019Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Lacks Enterprises, Inc.Inventor: Michael LaVallee

Patent number: 11781006Abstract: This invention relates to eco-friendly solutions and gels for making high strength ultra-high molecular weight polyolefin (UHMWPO) fibers, films, filters, membranes by solution and gel spinning techniques. This invention also makes soft, strong, oriented, and elastic fibers from styrenic block copolymers. The polymers are first dissolved or dispersed in a cyclic terpene. In some embodiments, the fibers are extruded or drawn from the solution or gel, and cooled to form a gel filament. In some embodiments, the fibers and films are soft and elastic by making the spinnable solution or gel from polyolefin and styrenic block copolymers or other elastomeric polymers in cyclic terpene. In some embodiments the fibers and films produced can be oriented by stretching or drawing in the gel state before and/or during and/or after removal of cyclic terpene.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2019Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Inventor: Sebastian S.
