International Classification:

C08F 214
C08L 3308

US Classification:

260 334R

US Patent:

43862969, May 31, 1983

Filed:

Dec 19, 1980

Appl. No.:

6/218042

Inventors:

Charles E. Beck - Chesterland OH

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

H05B 4118
H05B 4142

US Classification:

315 53

Abstract:

A screw-in fluorescent light unit having two light levels, for use in a 3-way socket. A reactor ballasts the lamp for high light output, and a positive temperature coefficient resistor (thermistor) is added to ballast the lamp for low light output and to facilitate lamp starting at the low light output. The light-level sequence is off-high-low-high-off.

AM International, Inc. - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

C08F 214
C08L 3308

US Classification:

260 334R

Abstract:

A non-aqueous polymeric dispersion of an acrylic or methacrylic polymer in a non-aqueous continuous phase comprised of a mixture of organic liquids, one of which is an alcohol, when applied to a suitable substrate, dries to produce a matte or low gloss coating which can be converted to a glossy coating by heating.

US Patent:

Filed:

Apr 15, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/368499

Inventors:

Edward E. Hammer - Mayfield Village OH
Charles E. Beck - Chesterland OH

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

H01J 1700
H01J 6100

US Classification:

313594

Abstract:

A discharge lamp comprising an elongated bulb shaped so that the ends thereof are substantially closer together than if the bulb were straight and containing electrodes respectively near said ends thereof, electrically interconnected bracing straps around the end regions of the bulb, and a starting aid comprising T-shaped conductive members having bands respectively at least partly around said bulb in the vicinity of each of said electrodes and having stems respectively extending under and clamped by said bracing straps.

Filed:

Nov 8, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/440179

Inventors:

Charles K. Beck - Mentor OH

Assignee:

Premier Industrial Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

H01K 132

US Classification:

313315

Abstract:

An incandescent illuminating device having an antifragility coating covering at least a substantial portion of the glass envelope, the antifragility coating comprising a mixture of a relatively clear, resilient heat-stable polymer capable of adhering to glass and a plurality of light-transmitting, impact-absorbing particles, which are preferably small, hollow, heat-stable, frangible microspheres. The particles, preferably hollow microspheres, constitute from about 20% to about 60% by volume of the cured antifragility coating and are essentially colorless, have a high degree of light transmissivity, and have a low density and a diameter less than about the thickness of the antifragility coating. The particles act as a sacrificial material to absorb an impact giving the coating antifragility properties.

International Classification:

H01J 1700
H01J 6100

US Classification:

313594

Abstract:

A discharge lamp comprising an elongated bulb shaped so that the ends thereof are substantially closer together than if the bulb were straight and containing electrodes respectively near said ends thereof, and a starting air comprising conductive members respectively adjacent to said bulb behind the plane of each of said electrodes, and means electrically interconnecting said conductive members.

US Patent:

Filed:

Nov 14, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/851015

Inventors:

Charles K. Beck - Mentor OH

Assignee:

Addressograph-Multigraph Corporation - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

B32B 310
B32B 318
B32B 704

US Classification:

428141

Abstract:

A secure property device utilizing radiant energy reflectors applied to a magnetic data member is provided in which the diffusivity of reflections from the reflectors is enhanced by means of a polymeric diffuser which is chemically and optically compatible with the reflectors and with the magnetic data member to which it is applied.

US Patent:

40138941, Mar 22, 1977

Filed:

May 27, 1975

Appl. No.:

5/581351

Inventors:

Francis C. Foote - Rocky River OH
Charles K. Beck - Mentor OH

Assignee:

Addressograph Multigraph Corporation - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

G06K 1908

US Classification:

250569

Abstract:

A secure property document and system are provided which prevents the use of fraudulent credit cards and other documents. The documents each include optical and magnetic data sets. Each data set contains data elements having a spacial relationship to at least some of the data elements contained in the other data set. The system reads and processes the data to determine whether or not the spacial relationship corresponds to that recorded for the particular document. If the spacial relationship codes do not agree within predetermined limits, the document is rejected by the system, whereby the transaction may be refused or additional information requested from the document holder.
