20090065676 | HIGH TEMPERATURE RUBBER TO METAL BONDED DEVICES AND METHODS OF MAKING HIGH TEMPERATURE ENGINE MOUNTS - An engine mount for a high temperature operating engine is provided. The high temperature rubber to metal bonded engine mount isolates the vehicle engine from the vehicle body structure in the high temperature operating engine operation environment which has a temperature of at least 190 degrees Fahrenheit. The high temperature engine mount includes a nonelastomeric engine mount member for attachment to the high temperature operating engine and a nonelastomeric body mount member for attachment to the body structure. The high temperature engine mount includes an intermediate elastomer disposed between the nonelastomeric engine mount member and the nonelastomeric body mount member. The high temperature engine mount has an operational lifetime beginning spring rate SR | 03-12-2009 |
20110206840 | THERMOSETTING POWDER ADHESIVE COMPOSITION - A powder adhesive comprising a primary rubber bonding polymer and a thermosetting component, and a method for bonding elastomers to metals employing the same. By adding a thermosetting component to a powdered adhesive, the adhesive may be applied to a substrate, sintered and thermoset to provide a sweep resistant adhesive film on the substrate, which may subsequently be bonded to an elastomer. Without a thermosetting component, the adhesive is at risk to re-melt or otherwise soften during a heated elastomer molding operation which in turn could cause the adhesive material to sweep off the substrate. | 08-25-2011 |
20110209822 | POWDERED PRIMER FOR RUBBER TO METAL BONDING - A powder primer composition particularly useful as a primer intended to be used in conjunction with an adhesive topcoat in rubber to metal bonding. And a method for bonding an elastomeric substrate to a metallic substrate comprising, applying a powder primer composition onto one of said substrates, wherein the powder primer composition comprises a rubbery polymer and at least one of a phenolic resin and a phenoxy resin, applying an adhesive covercoat to form a coated substrate, contacting the coated substrate with the other of said substrates, and heating the contacted substrates to effect bonding of the metallic substrate to the elastomer. | 09-01-2011 |
20140169710 | WEAR-INDICATING BEARING AND METHOD - A wear-indicating bearing and method of detecting wear in a bearing are disclosed. The bearing includes a bearing stack having a first end and a second end with a longitudinal axis defined between the first and second ends. The bearing stack includes a plurality of elastomeric layers sandwiched between non-elastomeric shim layers, where each layer is concentric about the longitudinal axis. At least one elastomeric layer is a marker layer configured to indicate wear of the bearing. The marker layer is made up of a first elastomeric composition and a second elastomeric composition, wherein the first and second elastomeric compositions have optically different characteristics. Upon fatigue of the bearing, the first elastomeric composition is detectable through a fracture extending from an exterior surface of the bearing stack. | 06-19-2014 |

20100138341 | Method and system for saving money with a group of mobile devices - A plurality of users have a savings goal, and a plurality of mobile devices each belong to a user. An electronic message from a user's mobile device is received. The electronic message comprises a description of a service or product not purchased and the amount of money not spent because it was not purchased. The description and amount are stored and a running total of the amount of money not spent is computed. A second electronic message is transmitted to all of the plurality of mobile devices except the first mobile device. The second electronic message comprises the description, amount, and an identifier of the user of the first mobile. Receiving, storing, computing, and transmitting are repeated until the savings goal is reached. A system includes the plurality of mobile devices, at least one communication network, and a computer in communication with the communication network. The system may also include a bank. | 06-03-2010 |
20120072345 | Method and system for impulse savings - Impulse saves are made by a user of a first computing device. A first electronic message is received from the first computing device. The first electronic message comprises an amount of money not spent by a user of the computing device. A running total of the amount of money not spent is computed. A second electronic message to at least one other computing device is transmitted. The second electronic message comprises at least some of the running total. An electronic transfer of the amount the amount of the second electronic message is made from one account to another account. | 03-22-2012 |
20120239569 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPULSE SAVINGS - A method of saving money using a mobile phone to reach a savings goal. The method includes creating an electronic account; computing a periodic sum of money to be saved by the user according to the savings goal; receiving a first electronic message from the mobile device, the first electronic message includes a description of a service or product not purchased by the user and an amount of money not spent; storing the description and the amount in the account; computing a running total of the amount of money not spent. The method may also include transmitting a second electronic message, the second electronic message acknowledging the first electronic message, the amount not spent by the user, the amount remaining to be saved to reach the savings goal and/or the total amount not spent. | 09-20-2012 |
