Title: Innovations of Richard A Manzini
Introduction
Richard A Manzini is an accomplished inventor based in Greensburg, PA, with a notable portfolio of three patents. His work primarily focuses on advancements in the field of metal processing and classification.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Detecting and classifying hard and soft inclusions in liquid metal." This invention outlines an apparatus and method for classifying inclusions in molten metal. The process involves obtaining an analog signal stream from a data collection apparatus, converting it to a digital signal stream, and partitioning it into discrete time frames. The digital signal stream is vector normalized to ensure the largest amplitude magnitude is 1. This normalized signal is then compared to a control prototype shape to classify the inclusions as hard or soft. The method includes a decision module with threshold units and digital logic tables to make accurate classifications. Additionally, the classification and size of the inclusions are represented in histograms and viewed through a graphical user interface.
Another significant patent involves the "Die-casting process and equipment." This invention describes a die casting machine that maintains a flow of molten metal in a trough, independent of the transfer through a feed tube. The machine also incorporates a filtering system to enhance the die-casting process.
