| 20080233372 | COMPOSITE MATERIAL FOR TURBINE SUPPORT STRUCTURE - A composite material for use in turbine support structures. The composite material may include a first material having a positive coefficient of thermal expansion and a second material having a negative coefficient of thermal expansion, a negative Poisson ratio, or both a negative coefficient of thermal expansion and a negative Poisson ratio. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080286099 | Steam turbine exhaust hood and method of fabricating the same - A method of fabricating an exhaust hood is provided for use with a turbine engine. The method includes providing an upper shell casing wherein the upper shell casing is fabricated from a composite material, and coupling the upper shell casing to a lower shell casing such that a turbine is housed within the exhaust hood, the shell casing is fabricated from a composite material. A turbine assembly is also provided. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090011173 | Edge Stiffened Polymeric Corrugated Sheet Material - Edge stiffened corrugated polymeric sheet material can be utilized as storm panels for mounting about a perimeter surface of an opening so as to protect the opening from wind and impact loads. The panels can include a corrugated sheet material having a corrugated contiguous band horizontally extending at about an end of the top and the bottom, wherein the corrugated contiguous band is complementary and contiguous to the plurality of corrugations of the corrugated sheet panel. The complementary and contiguous corrugated band can be configured to sandwich the sheet material. The panel may also include, individually or in combination, a contiguous band sandwiching the polymeric sheet material at a terminal end of each side and extending vertically from the top to the bottom. The panels provide wind and impact load protection for the opening. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090130420 | Polymeric Foams with Nanocellular Morphology and Methods for Making Them - Polymeric foams having nanocellular morphology are formed from a polymeric material having structural units derived from 2-hydrocarbyl-3,3-bis(hydroxyphenyl)phthalimidine compound. The foams include a plurality of cells having an average diameter of less than 1 micron. Processes for forming the foams include melting a polymeric material having structural units derived from 2-hydrocarbyl-3,3-bis(hydroxyphenyl)phthalimidine compounds; diffusing a blowing agent into the polymeric material to form a mixture; nucleating bubbles in the mixture is at a sufficient temperature and pressure to enable the production of cells having an average diameter of less than 1 micron; stabilizing the cells; and forming the mixture into a desired shape. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090148665 | NANO-CELLULAR POLYMER FOAM AND METHODS FOR MAKING THEM - A nano-cellular polymer foam is disclosed, which has an average pore size from about 10 nanometers to about 500 nanometers; and a foam density that is from about 1 percent to about 50 percent of the bulk density of the material of the nano-cellular foam. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090168176 | Reflective Polymeric Article and Manufacture - A method of making a reflective polymer article comprising: (a) contacting a polymer material with a foaming agent; (b) foaming in the material under conditions sufficient to form reflective polymer article having gas cells and polymer gas interfaces between the cells; wherein the reflective polymer article has a metallic or reflective property. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20110020612 | EDGE STIFFENED POLYMERIC CORRUGATED SHEET MATERIAL - Edge stiffened corrugated polymeric sheet material can be utilized as storm panels for mounting about a perimeter surface of an opening so as to protect the opening from wind and impact loads. The panels can include a corrugated sheet material having a corrugated contiguous band horizontally extending at about an end of the top and the bottom, wherein the corrugated contiguous band is complementary and contiguous to the plurality of corrugations of the corrugated sheet panel. The complementary and contiguous corrugated band can be configured to sandwich the sheet material. The panel may also include, individually or in combination, a contiguous band sandwiching the polymeric sheet material at a terminal end of each side and extending vertically from the top to the bottom. The panels provide wind and impact load protection for the opening. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110060067 | SILOXANE BLOCK COPOLYMER NANOPOROUS FOAMS, METHODS OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF AND ARTICLES COMPRISING THE SAME - Disclosed herein is a foam that includes a polysiloxane block copolymer; the polysiloxane block copolymer including a first block that comprises a polysiloxane block and a second block that includes an organic polymer; the second block not containing a polysiloxane; the polysiloxane block being about 5 to about 45 repeat units; the foam having average pore sizes of less than or equal to about 100 nanometers. | 03-10-2011 |
