US Patent:

63081784, Oct 23, 2001

Filed:

Oct 21, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/442089

Inventors:

Chia-Pei Chang - Chicago IL
Brian J. Connolly - Hoffman Estates IL
Eric Blackledge - Woodstock IL
Robert John Hoffman - Wheeling IL
Bob Homan - Niles IL
Klaus Schulz - Downers Grove IL

Assignee:

Darc Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707100

Abstract:

A system for integrating data among heterogeneous source applications and destination applications including a knowledge repository containing temporary data storage for storing data from the source applications during processing for population in the destination applications, a library of data elements each providing a discrete data manipulation friction, configuration data storage for storing user-provided information describing the integration environment, and a plurality of add-on modules or cartridges which each include a plurality of predefined instruction sets defining chains of data elements to perform interface functions corresponding to a particular destination application. The underlying interface communication and processing functions are performed by an active component (or engine) according to the configuration data and the module instruction sets. The active component is driven by the repository data to load source data into the temporary data storage, translate, synchronize, and validate that data, then interface the data to a destination application.

Assignee:

Amoco Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B29B 1110

US Classification:

264 455

Abstract:

This invention relates to preparation of polyamide-imide foam by extruding foamable composition comprising polyamide-imide and volatiles into a confined expansion zone, expanding the composition therein and cooling the result. The resulting foams are essentially open-celled and exhibit good strength, insulating properties and other desirable features.

Assignee:

Standard Oil Company (Indiana) - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B29C 4740
B29C 4712
C08G 6926

US Classification:

428 36

Abstract:

A process for the manufacture of extruded articles by extruding polyamide-imide polymers and copolymers through melt flow channels and extrusion dies at ever increasing shear rates ranging from 0. 1 sec. sup. -1 to about 2000 sec. sup. -1. The extruder barrel and melt flow channel temperatures range from about 480. degree. to about 600. degree. F. and the extrusion die temperatures range from about 575. degree. to about 680. degree. F. Also, the addition of polyetherimides and polysulfones is disclosed. Thin films, thin sheets and hollow tubes are disclosed. All these articles are useful in engineering applications requiring high temperature resistant plastics. Useful applications include use in the aerospace and automobile industry.
