Patents

  • Wear resistant article made from a thermosetting polymer and a fluorocarbon additive

    Issued US WO1999023148 A1

    Len Kosinski, and a few people much smarter than I, collaborated with me to find a way to get fluorocarbon oils to bloom to the surface of thermoset polymers. The net effect was squeak and wear resistant polymers.

    See patent

  • Squeak resistant article

    Issued US WO1999023149

    Again, Len Kosinski collaborated to make me look much smarter than I am, to make polymers that are squeak free.

    See patent

  • Stackable blocks

    Issued US US4877407

    I invented these 'Gravity Blocks' while at Tufts, in 1985. They are blocks that have a variety of centers of gravity, and you can build neat - non-intuitive - things with them. We shipped over 10,000 sets, and won a number of national design awards. A number of prominent retailers carried them, like the Horchow Collection. I had fun and learned a ton.
