Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Web feeder with controlled electrostatic force and method." This invention describes a method and apparatus for applying a uniform electrostatic force to a web moving between a pair of electrodes. The technology creates an electron wind that urges the web toward one of the electrodes. It controls the current forming the electron wind to maintain the current and the wind force substantially constant, even though impedance may vary. This method can be utilized to provide a hard nip, adjust tension, spread and smooth a coating, remove curl, and cure a coating.
Another significant patent is the "Process using electrostatic spraying for coating substrates with release." This invention relates to a process for applying a coating material, which includes a release coating composition or a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition to a substrate. The process involves atomizing and electrically charging the coating material, followed by spraying it onto a substrate that overlies a grounded support structure. The method includes additional steps for curing the release coating composition and applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition over it.
