Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus for optimizing control of a part temperature in conveyorized thermal processor." This invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling a part temperature profile by optimizing response characteristics based on control parameters. The method acquires part temperature response characteristics at selected conditions to form an index value and calculates linear relationships between the index and its corresponding control parameters. By searching for the minimum index, the method determines the optimal control parameters for thermal processing of parts, ensuring that the part temperature profile responds within the target specification range with the greatest margin available. The apparatus is designed to determine the minimum index value and its corresponding optimum control parameters.
Another notable patent is the "Method for maximizing throughput of a part in a conveyorized thermal processor." This method aims to maximize throughput for thermal processing by searching for the maximum conveyor speed while calculating a Process Window Index that is less than a required value. The best Process Window Index associated with the maximum conveyor speed corresponds to a maximum throughput control series, which sets the control parameters of the thermal processor effectively.
