IPC: B29C63/04
Filed: 2000-09-18
Abstract: Postforming a thermoplastic sheet, such as solid surface laminate material (SSL), to a substrate having a planar surface and an edge with a desired profile, by heating a portion of the thermoplastic sheet proximate to the edge. Adhesive attaches the thermoplastic sheet to the planar surface and edge of the substrate. The adhesive may be solvent-based contact adhesives or water-based specialty adhesives. The composite formed by the attached thermoplastic sheet and substrate may be used for counter-tops, vanity tops, bath and shower surfaces, furniture surfaces and the like. Heating of the portion of the thermoplastic sheet may be by focused line heating, conventional heating and a heat shield, a combination of focused heating and conventional heating, or by just conventional heating. The heated portion of the thermoplastic sheet is preferably between about 275 and 320 degrees Fahrenheit before bending. An optional protective film may be placed over the front side portion of the thermoplastic sheet being heated to minimize surface defects thereto. The portion of the thermoplastic sheet attached to the edge of the substrate may be finished by sanding and the like to enhance the appearance thereof. A cove bend in the thermoplastic sheet may be accomplished by heating both sides of the thermoplastic sheet by applying a heating rod at a lower heating temperature and a protective film between the heating rod and the front surface of the thermoplastic sheet, and heating at a higher temperature the back surface of the thermoplastic sheet with a radiant heater. The thermoplastic sheet is then bent around the heating rod until the desired bend angle is made. The cove bend may also be produced by placing a non-heated rod at the desired location of the inside cove bend and heating the opposite side of the portion of the thermoplastic sheet proximate to the non-heated rod until the thermoplastic sheet reaches a desired temperature and then the cove bend is made.

Title: Controllably monitoring and reducing a material
Inventor: SAULNIER ERIC
IPC: B24B37/04
Filed: 2000-12-11
Abstract: The instant invention provides a vibration insensitive method of precisely polishing an object. The method includes the steps of providing an object to be polished, applying a conductive material to a non-electrical current conductive surface of the object (alternatively, if the object conducts electric current, the object should be coated with a thin layer of non-electric current conductive material using methods known to those skilled in the art), removing a portion of the object and the conductive material through polishing, and measuring an electric current flowing through the conductive material to monitor a progress of the polishing. Advantageously, the method does not require the polishing process to be interrupted to monitor the progress of the polishing.  In fact, since the progress is measured as a function of resistance/electrical current, the progress is measured with an accuracy and precision related to each individual turn of a polishing pad. Advantageously, the instant method is remarkably vibration insensitive and is practical for the simultaneous, automatic, and precise, polishing of monolithic objects.

Filed: 1997-11-12
Abstract: A control valve system has two valve trains each of which has a series of valves which dynamically move between a deactuated position and an actuated position. An inlet of the valve system is connected to an outlet of the valve system when all of the valves are actuated and the outlet of the valve system is connected to an exhaust when all of the valves are deactuated. Each valve train includes a solenoid valve which when actuated moves the remaining valve members to their actuated position. The various valves of each valve train are interconnected with the valve of the other valve train such that actuation of all of the valves in a substantially simultaneous manner will connect the inlet of the valve system to the outlet of the valve system and deactuation of all of the valves in a substantially simultaneous manner will connect the outlet to the exhaust. The valve system monitors the dynamic movement of the valve members during its operation will move to a locked out condition when any valve is in a deactuated position and when one other valve is in an actuated position. In the locked out condition, the outlet of the valve system is corrected to the exhaust. The valve system will remain in this locked out condition until a resetting operation is performed.
