BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to pressure relief valves, and more particularly to reciprocating poppet type valves characterized by a lack of chattering during self-induced opening as a result of upstream pressure rise above a predetermined limit.
2. Description of the Prior Art Conventional reciprocating pressure relief valves of the poppet type employ a spring biased reciprocating valve of disc form which is spring biased into contact with a circular or annular valve seat in such a manner that upon increase in the pressure of the upstream fluid causes the valve to move off the valve seat against the spring bias, allowing the fluid to escape between the periphery of the valve and the valve seat and exit through the valve outlet. Valves of the usual design involve an all or nothing control and require considerable force to maintain control such as available only by the use of a large actuating ratio or area ratio. Consequently, although large area ratios are used to provide sufficient power to operate the main valve of the pressure regulator, the effect of using such large operating forces results in the valve opening too wide, followed by reactive excessive closing with the ultimate effect that an oscillation between opening and closing results, thereby producing instability and destructive valve chattering.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It has been found, however, that the problem of instability and slow response can be overcome with the use of a light weight, compact pressure relief valve incorporating a small actuating ratio or area ratio and a closable, variable venturi orifice. A variable venturi or orifice, as used herein, is a flow control device including valve means which maintains a choke flow therethrough while maintaining a relatively constant fluid force on the valve means.
In essence, the poppet-type, main valve comprises a disc having a periphery which is frustoconical in cross section and has line or surface contact with an annular valve seat whose surface is inclined radially outwards in the direction of flow with the angle of inclination being such that the effective upstream pressure on the valve does not reduce appreciably from the valve fully closed position to the valve fully opened position. The seat diameter therefore remains relatively fixed, the valve exposed to pressure is conical from its seating point inwardly toward the valve stem. No choke flow occurs above the seat to materially reduce the upstream pressure acting on the poppet, thereby causing immediate reclosing of the valve on the valve seat under the spring bias, resulting in valve chatter, characteristic of prior art valves.
The beneficial venturi configuration of a portion of the valve seat cooperates with the main valve and includes a first, relatively short, frustoconically shaped surface part, the extension of which forms an inclined angle with a longitudinal axis of the orifice means between approximately 30 and 60 and a second, frustoconically shaped surface part integral with the first surface part, the extension of which forms an included angle with the longitudinal axis of the orifice means between and 25.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an elevational, cross-sectional view of a portion of a reciprocating, poppet type pressure relief valve incorporating the specially configured poppet valve and valve seat of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of a portion of the pressure relief valve of FIG. I with the poppet valve in fully closed position.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion of the pressure relief valve of FIG. 1 with the valve in partially open position.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion of the valve of FIG. 1 with the valve in fully opened position.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a typical prior art poppet type reciprocating pressure relief valve with the valve in partially open position.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawings, FIG. 5 discloses a typical prior art reciprocating, poppet-type valve of the pressure relief type indicated generally at 10, wherein the fixed casing 12 carries a bore 14 defining a lip 16, with the bottom wall 18. The annular lip 16 acts as the valve seat. Bore 14 therefore forms the upstream flow channel for the valve. The disclike poppet valve 20 includes an integral stem 22 with the enlarged diameter valve disc carrying an annular recess 26 which receives a resilient annulus 28 forming the contact or seal surface between the valve 20 and the valve seat 16. A threaded flanged coupling member 30 maintains the annulus 20 within recess 26. Biasing means (not shown) bias the valve 20 in closed position on valve seat 16.
In this typical prior art arrangement, the seat diameter remains fixed during all positions of the valve and is approximately that of bore 14. When the valve 20 is closed, the maximum poppet area is exposed to the upstream pressure and is defined by the arrow A'Vl. As the valve opens, the poppet is depressed and the effective diameter of the poppet valve adjacent to seat 16 decreases to that of arrow A'v2. This reduction in effective upstream surface area of the valve along with a reduction in pressure due to the velocity of the fluid flow escaping between the valve seat I6 and the tapered surface 32 of threaded member 30. Unless the pressure of the fluid flow in the upstream channel defined by bore 14 is appreciably increased, reclosure of the valve occurs. The force tending to keep the valve open is defined by the formula F=MXP wherein F is the force tending to keep the valve open, M is the effective area, and P is the upstream pressure, where (M is the diameter of the valve seat minus the diameter of the-poppet at the seat over 2). This results in a decrease in the effective area of the upstream surface of the poppet valve reducing the fluid force tending to keep the valve open. When this force F reduces below the biasing force, naturally the poppet valve will reclose. If, in the illustration of FIG. 5, the valve opens to its fullest extent, the means effective area of the valve may be further reduced as indicated by the arrow Av3 and assuming that the upstream pressure remains constant or does not rise appreciably, the force tending to keep the valve open may be insufficient to maintain the poppet valve open even though the upstream pressure is above the design valve pressure for immediate pressure relief. Thus, when the valve is closed, the maximum poppet area is exposed to the upstream fluid pressure. As the valve opens and the poppet is depressed, the diameter of the poppet adjacent to the seats decreases. This directly reduces the pressure efl'ective area of the valve and the applied force due to the upstream pressure of the fluid. The difference in these two areas is the flow area as defined by arrow AP which occurs below the seat but above the upstream surface of valve 20. In the area AP between the seat [6 and surface 32 of the valve as shown, fluid expansion is occuring which results in a reduction in pressure. The upstream pressure cannot be maintained at the seat diameter on the poppet when the poppet is open to any degree. Reduction of fluid force, of course, immediately requires an additional actuating force to keep the valve open and since some time is required for the valve to respond, the valve closes before the additional actuating force can be applied. The valve starts an oscillating or chattering cycle with the seal 28 moving into contact and away from the valve seat 16 necessitating extreme dampening of the valve to slow down the action. However, this is detrimental to the sensitivity of the valve and also reduces the capability of the valve for high speed operation.
The problem of chattering is completely eliminated in the poppet type pressure relief valve of the present invention. The present invention is applicable particularly to poppet type pressure relief valves to prevent chattering of the same since they are inherently self-operating and close under a spring .bias. However, the invention is equally applicable to reciprocating valves in general to reduce other side effects resulting from an abrupt change in efiective surface area due to opening and closing of the valve. The pressure relief valve 100 comprises a body 106 including an inlet 108 and an outlet 110. A bellows assembly comprises an upper terminal 112, a lower movable terminal 114 and a bellows 116. The bellows 116 is welded to the terminals 1 l2 and 114. The terminal 112 is clamped between the body 46 of the pilot valve and the body 106 of the main valve by any suitable means such as a plurality of bolts (not shown) and is sealed against leakage by a pair of gaskets 120. A valve cage 122 is secured in valve body 106 and sealed against leakage by a gasket 124. The valve cage 122 includes a guide bearing 126 and a low friction shoe bushing 128 and a portion of the variable venturi means 123 which cooperates with the main valve 125. Said portion comprises a first relatively short, conically shaped surface part or valve seat 130 interconnected with a second, conically shaped surface part 132. Said second conically shaped surface part 132 is of extended length and is interconnected with a cylindrical shaped surface area 134. Cylindrically shaped surface area 134 circumscribes an expanded flow area for normal operation of the main valve 125 when actuated by a solenoid (not shown), otherwise, the main valve 125 doesnot extend into the area circumscribed by thesurface area 134 during operation of the pressure relief valve.
A protective cylinder 136-is.interposed between terminal 112 and valve cage 122 and is provided with gasket seals 138 and 139, the main valve125 is guided in bearing 126 and fastened to lower movable terminal 114 by means of a nut 140. A seal ring 142 is used to effect a leak type connection. At the opposite end, a seat seal 144 is keyed into a groove formed in the main valve 125 and is maintained therein by the threaded retainer 146. A control orifice 148 is formed in the stem 149 of the main poppet valve 125. The control orifice is disposed in communication with outlet 110 by passage 152. Passage 152 interconnects the chamber of the solenoid valve (not shown) and sensing chamber 16 of the pilot valve with the actuating chamber 20 which is circumscribed in part by bellows 116 and lower movable terminal 114. The lower movable terminal 114 is a pressure responsive member and is secured or attached to the main valve 125 by valve stem 149 for movement therewith. The lower movable terminal 1 14 and the attached main valve 125 are biased in an upward direction by spring 156 which is disposed between spring rest 158 and 160. The upper spring rest 158 is mounted beneath the lower movable terminal The operation of the pressure relief valve 100 and its structure is fully shown and described in the referred to application of which the present application is a division. insofar as the operation is concerned, it is important to note that the fluid pressure within bellows chamber 16 acts on one side of movable terminal 114 of the bellows assembly while the biasing force of coil spring 156 and the fluid pressure at inlet 108 acts on the opposite surface of terminal 114. Thus, when the internal bellows chamber pressure surpasses the combined fluid pressure externally of the bellows assembly and the bias offered by coil spring 156, the main valve 125 will open allowing fluid to pass about the periphery of valve 130 from inlet 108 to outlet 110.
In designing the function of the main valve 125, it has been found that excellent modulation control is obtained by maintaining the dynamic flow forces substantially constant on the main valve 125 under substantially all flow conditions and by maintaining a flow that is substantially directly proportional to pressure change. In other words, a relatively constant fluid force must be maintained on the main valve 125 during all flow conditions and the mass flow should be proportional to the linear movement of the valve except when the main valve is actuated by the solenoid (not shown).
The foregoing is accomplished by using a main valve which has a narrow portion of a seat seal contacting the surface part 130 substantially at right angles. The surface part 130 is relatively short and conically shaped. An extension of the surface part 130 forms an included angle with the longitudinal axis of the orifice means between approximately 30 and 60 and preferably between approximately 40 and 50, although excellent results have been obtained with an included angle of approximately 45, i.e., 45 plus or minus l. The seat contact is very short in width, preferably less than 0.025 inch in width to provide the least possible change in seating area between a closed and open valve condition. The first surface part 130 interconnects and blends with the second surface part which is also conically shaped. An extension of the second surface part forms an included angle with the longitudinal axis of the orifice means between approximately 15 and 25 and preferably between 15 and 20, although excellent results have been obtained with an included angle of approximately 18, i.e., l8 plus or minus W.
The seat seal 144 engages the first surface part 130 with the lower portion thereof being disposed at the point where the first surface part 130 interconnects and blends with the second surface part 143, see FIG. 2. Consequently, when the main valve 125 cracks open, and movesabout 0.005 inch, the flow restriction area is positioned at the periphery of seat seal 144. For the balance of the stroke, which in this application does not exceed about /4 inch unless solenoid (not shown) is actuated, a flow restriction or choke flow occurs between the periphery of the seat seal 144 and the conically shaped area 132. At the maximum controlling extension of main valve 125. which is at the break between the conically shaped area 132 and the cylindrically shaped area 134 the area is designed to pass specified maximum weights of gas at the minimum specified pressure. As it will be readily apparent, in view of the foregoing, for any intermediate position of valve 125, the flow will be almost directly proportional to the extension of the valve. As previously indicated, the pressure relief valve must be capable of responding or operating in extremely rapid rates. It was found that the use of a small area ratio between the power or actuating chamber 16 and a low inertia main valve l25'combine to produce extremely fast'main valve actuation rates.
With the linear characteristics of the pilot valve combined with the linear characteristics of the closing spring 156 and bellows 116, it will be apparent that the response of the valve is almost perfectly linear. Further, a valve constructed in accordance with this invention also eliminates unbalancing forces under various flows. Additionally, since the choke flow or maximum velocity change occurs at the periphery of the main valve 125, it will now be apparent that a relatively con stant pressure force is maintained on the upstream side of the main valve under substantially all flow conditions. Although there is a slight effective impact pressure under maximum flow conditions, this effect is almost evenly balanced by the back pressure on the opposite side of the valve.
Extensive tests conducted on the valve through the use of an oscilloscope disclosed that at extremely low flow rates (approximately l percent of design capacity), when the valve poppet has moved less than 0.005 inch off the seat. lowfrequency relief burst (less than 0.2 p.s.i. differential pressure) can occur due to seat width being on the order of 0.35 inch causing slight oscillation of the poppet. Such motion involves movement of the poppet of less than 0.005 inch and is nondestructive to the valve. To this extent, the valve is considered nonchattering," in the present invention.
Reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate graphically as the valve opens, the flow area existing between the periphery of side of the valve 125 does not reduce but remains constant. Of course, the difference between the seat area indicated by arrow A, in FIG. 3 and the effective valve area indicated by the arrow A, represents the flow area which increases proportionally from fully closed position in FIG. 2 through a medium position in FIG. 3 to a fully open position in FIG. 4 (in the absence of solenoid operation). All pressure change occurs outside the valve periphery providing a stable valve without the oscillation or chatter of prior designs such as that illustrated in FIG. 5. It is noted that the tapered surface 135 of retainer 146 and the tapered periphery 137 of the seat seal 144 act with the reverse shear surface 139 of the main valve [25 to form, in conjunction with the outwardly inclined or tapered annular surface 130 of the valve seat area, a variable venturi orifice or flow path for the fluid escaping from inlet 108 to outlet 110. In the extreme open position of FIG. 4, the periphery of the reciprocating valve 125 has not yet reached the full cylindrical surface area 134 which is at right angles to the axis of reciprocation.

As promised, Microsoft has made available its Surface Pro 2 and Surface 2 for purchase from today, meaning that users can finally get their hands on the new tablet devices with the Windows 8.1 operating system built in.
Microsoft unveiled the updated Surface devices at an event in New York last month, and detailed 21 countries including the UK where they were to go on sale first. The tablets and their new accessories can now be picked up at Microsoft retail stores as well as select third-party retailers such as John Lewis, Currys and Argos, as well as Microsoft's Surface website.
The Surface Pro 2 and Surface 2 are updated and improved versions of the original Surface Pro and Surface RT that launched last year with the Windows 8 operating system and the Windows RT derivative. Both have been given more powerful processors, along with a number of other improvements.
The Surface Pro 2 features the latest Intel Haswell 4th generation Core i5 processor technology for better performance and battery life, plus a two-position kickstand to make it easier to use on your lap. More configurations are also available; 4GB of memory with 64GB or 128GB storage, and 8GB memory with 256GB or 512GB of storage, with prices starting at £719.
Meanwhile, the ARM-based Surface 2 features an Nvidia Tegra 4 processor for better performance, a 1920x1080 full HD display and USB 3.0 port. It is available with32GB or 64GB storage, with prices starting at £359.
New accessories for the tablets include a Docking Station that allows users to connect to desktop peripherals such as an external monitor, keyboard and Ethernet LAN, plus new thinner keyboard covers, along with a new Power Cover that extends the battery life of the tablet.
Microsoft faces a tough battle to shift the devices, though, with Apple set to unveil new iPad devices at an event later on Tuesday and Nokia unveiling its Lumia 1520 tablet on Windows RT at an event on Tuesday morning. Cheap devices from Argos and Tesco are also set to hit the market.
The availability of the new tablets comes just a few days after the general availability of the updated Windows 8.1 operating system itself, plus its Windows 8.1 RT version for ARM devices.
Microsoft has now confirmed that some owners of the Surface RT have been hit by a technical issue when upgrading to the new platform, leading to the device becoming unusable.
In a statement, Microsoft said: "Based on our investigations of a situation customers have encountered updating to Windows RT 8.1, we can confirm that as of now this is a Windows update issue only affecting Surface RT customers. While only less than one out of every 1,000 Surface RT customers who have installed Windows RT 8.1 have been impacted, improving their experience and ensuring their systems are fully operable as quickly as possible is our number one priority."
Microsoft has now made a recovery image for the Surface RT available for download along with instructions to help affected customers recover from the error. However, this is currently available only in a US English language version, with other versions promised shortly.

Vivek Kundra says the administration intends to leverage the power of technology to make the government run more efficiently
Federal Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra today said he has started new accountability sessions with department officials to assess their information technology projects.
In these sessions, called TechStat meetings, Kundra intends to delve deep into departments' IT projects to check on whether the projects are working as planned. He said he and other officials have already met with the Environmental Protection Agency's CIO and other agency officials about an IT project that is $30 million over its budget and a year behind schedule. After the discussion, Kundra sent the EPA a detailed memo on what he wants the agency to do to get the project on course again, he said, adding that he expects to see the agency start working immediately.
Kundra said he intends to make the TechStat meetings "a very relentless pursuit of oversight." He said he could possibly halt or terminate a project or even revise the plans for the project as a result of the meetings.

These meetings are "data-driven, action-focused and results-oriented," he said.
This is just the first of many meetings Kundra expects to hold with departments across the government. He said he plans to hold a minimum of three to four meetings a week with different agencies and expects that number to increase. Kundra said he's also telling agency officials to hold similar TechStat meetings in their own departments.
The TechStat meetings are open to any CIO who may want to attend, Kundra said. He's trying to connect agency officials so they can help each other as they go through some of the same rough patches with their investments, he said.
Emphasizing the transparency of government, Kundra said he will make his memos to agencies on their IT projects available to the public.

The problem with pursuing efficiencies is that efficiency does not necessarily equate to effectiveness. For instance, one may relentlessly pursue efficiency using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) methodologies, but, as noted by SecDef Gates when announcing the closure of the Business Transformation Agency (BTA), all the efforts in pursing efficiencies has not resulted in real savings or changes in operations. The point being that one may gather all the data one wants, but gathering data and working to make the data match the IT metrics used to define efficiency does not mean the same thing as measuring outputs and working to make the processes more effective. Which is why, as stated in numerous reports and articles generated by members of the Project Management Institute (PMI), most IT projects over the last 25 years have been failures (i.e., 96-97% of all IT projects over the last 25 years have either been over time, over budget, or both over time and over budget). Ultimately in our "relentless pursuit of efficiency", we place too much emphasis on the output metrics (i.e., getting more out the door in less time with fewer resources, regardless of how good the product is) than on effectiveness (producing the best product with the best long-term return on investment). Or, in other words, using IT metrics, we place too much emphasis on the metrics and making the metrics match than on the quality of the products. If we want true savings and efficiency, then we need to get rid of the IT CIOs and ERP metrics, and start going with business intelligence officers (BIOs) and capacity analysis metrics.
This is very good news. Hopefully, Congress will agree to fund it. It would be interesting to know how the evaulation criteria compare to Raines' Rules: http://xml.gov/documents/completed/iea/RainesRulesRevisited.ppt

Video: Cleveland police rescue captives from Castro's home
Cell phone video from a bystander caught the dramatic moment police entered the home on tape
The Daily Mail
CLEVELAND – Two women driving around their Cleveland neighborhood became witnesses to a historic rescue when they shot a video of police raiding the home of kidnapping suspect Ariel Castro.
Jasmina Baldrich and Ashley Colon thought they were about to be pulled over last Monday when they noticed a police cruiser behind them, and turned onto Seymour Avenue. There, they saw a heavy police presence, with officers approaching Castro's house. The spectacle prompted Miss Baldrich to take out her iPhone and start videotaping what was going on.
In the video, cops can be seen prying open the front door of Castro's house. Once open, they flood into the home, some reaching for their handguns. The women also said that they saw a woman pass who claimed that she was Amanda Berry, and they couldn't believe their ears.

The Kardashians' television neighborhood is getting a refurbishing.
The E! Entertainment network has expansion plans that include a music series from "American Idol" producer Nigel Lythgoe, a reality series with the eldest member of the Jonas Brothers and a talk show starring Whitney Cummings.
E! also is sticking with what works. It announced last week a three-year deal to keep the Kardashian reality TV empire in-house.
"You'll see us keep our fun and keep our attitude," said E! President Suzanne Kolb. "I think you'll see us be a little broader. We feel like E! is to pop culture what ESPN is to sports, and I think we need to fully realize that."
E! is part of the NBC Universal group of cable networks, which have been enormously profitable for parent Comcast Corp. The network has a strong brand name and good distribution, so it has potential to increase its revenue, said Derek Baine, an analyst for SNL Kagan, a company that researches the economics of TV networks.
While E! is growing, it is not at the level of fellow NBC Universal networks such as USA and Bravo. USA is averaging 2.33 million viewers this television season, Bravo has 992,000 and E! stands at 649,000, according to the Nielsen company.
The most high-profile attempt to broaden E!'s offerings will be revealed July 9 with the premiere of Mr. Lythgoe's "Opening Act." Each week, producers will pick an unknown musical act that has posted work online, surprising the artist with the chance to open a concert for acts such as Rod Stewart, Brad Paisley and Nicki Minaj. The series, which features Mary J. Blige, follows the acts as they prepare and execute the potentially career-changing gigs.
In August, E! premieres "Married to Jonas," featuring Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa, a hairstylist in training who met the musician while vacationing in the Bahamas. They married in 2009, and the series, produced by Ryan Seacrest, depicts the couple juggling work and family.
The two programs are targeted choices; E! executives consider music one area of entertainment that the network has been deficient in following.
"MTV and VH1 have moved away from their core a little bit, and that has provided opportunities for people like us to expand ours," Ms. Kolb said.
While E! is not getting into sports, it has increased its news coverage of athletes.
Part of the reason is to attract more men. That is also some of the thinking behind a more "gender-neutral" design of network graphics that will debut on the same day of "Opening Act," Ms. Kolb said. Men are also more interested in E!'s topical programming such as "The Soup," and Miss Cummings' series will follow "The Soup" on Wednesday nights.
Titled "Love You, Mean It With Whitney Cummings," it's a talk show with celebrity guests and sidekick Julian McCullough.
Another California family getting the reality show treatment is actor Clint Eastwood and his wife, Dina, a former television anchor. "Mrs. Eastwood & Company," which begins May 20, also features the actor's two daughters and a singing group that Dina discovered on a trip to South Africa and is now managing.
E! generally finishes among the top 15 of networks among its 18-to-34 target audience, and Ms. Kolb said one of her goals is to move into the top five. The network generally gets solid circulation — a healthy number of people tune in for one show or another — but not enough people stay around to watch other shows, she said.

The e-retailer plans to increase its network of online sellers.
Online jewelry merchant Chloe + Isabel has raised $15 million in a Series C funding round led by SoftBank Capital. Existing investors General Catalyst Partners, First Round Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Floodgate Fund also took part.
The company sells its own jewelry and operates a network of some 4,500 sellers, or "merchandisers," who can buy a business-starter kit from the retailer and create their own e-commerce "storefronts," Chloe + Isabel says. It says the new capital will go toward increasing "Chloe + Isabel's community of micro-entrepreneurs both domestically and internationally, as well as to further enhance product categories."
The web-only retailers says that 75% of its sellers are under the age of 35 and that they can earn $50 to $400 per hour, with commissions to those sellers ranging from 25% to 40%.
"Chloe + Isabel's innovative scalable tools and training offer a true social-selling experience and provide an entrepreneurial opportunity for today's woman," said Scarlett O'Sullivan, Partner at SoftBank Capital. "We were drawn to the merchandisers' stories and the way in which Chloe + Isabel's disruptive selling platform, customized marketplaces and high-quality products are impacting merchandisers' lives and allowing them to attain whichever goals they set for themselves."
Facebook targeting tools are available for Instagram, which Facebook owns.

RadiumOne Taps Bader As CMO
Mark Walsh
, June 26, 2013, 8:23 AM
Veteran agency executive and mobile expert Eric Bader is joining social data-driven ad network RadiumOne as its first chief marketing officer. Bader was most recently CEO and founder of Mobilize, a mobile services platform he started last year after serving as global president and chief strategy officer at Interpublic Group's Initiative.
In his new role, he will oversee brand development, strategic partnerships and all marketing-related activities at RadiumOne. Founded in 2009 by serial entrepreneur Gurbaksh Chahal, the company's ShareGraph technology mines social data to find consumers that most closely match a brand's customer base, and serve them targeted ads online and in mobile across its publisher network.
RadiumOne, which says it's on track to pull in revenue of $100 million this year, has raised $33.5 million to date in venture funding from investors, including Adams Street Partners and Trinity Ventures. With 250 employees and 400% annual sales growth, the company decided it was time to bring on a CMO.
Chahal said Bader, who has served on RadiumOne's advisory board, brings an ideal combination of "ad-tech smarts and agency credibility" to the new post. Prior to joining Initiative in 2010, Bader had founded and been president of BrandInHand, an early mobile-focused marketing firm, as well as holding management roles at MediaVest and Ogilvy.
In the startup arena, he was also general manager of College Sports Network (later CBS College Sports). At RadiumOne, Bader said much of his focus will be on positioning the company with advertisers. "A lot of what I'm going to be doing is clarifying the principles behind why we're in this business and what we're doing, and make it super clear for brand advertisers and their agencies," he said.
In tandem with that effort, he will work on strengthening relations with industry trade groups, such as the Interactive Advertising Bureau, the Association of National Advertisers and the 4As. "We want to make sure we're not just participants, but actually leaders of the brand platform marketing space," he said.
To date, Radium says its customers include 50 of the Fortune 500 and brands including Hyundai, Del Monte, AT&T and Arby's. For his part, Bader has worked with a series of big brands, including American Express, Coca-Cola and P&G during his agency career.
"What I'm bringing to it is the recognition and insights and understanding of what brands need," said Bader, who will work out of San Francisco-based RadiumOne's New York office. "I understand the outcomes they're looking for and the mechanics of how they want to invest."
As for Mobilize, the managed service platform for mobile apps he started a year ago, Bader said it is "on hold for the moment," in need of further development and funding. "The opportunity at RadiumOne was such a perfect fit for me, I put aside my mobile startup business and hopped on," he said.

A woman who was allegedly unconscious while behind the wheel of her car raised eyebrows last Saturday.
When Lafollette Police Officer Pam Jarrett arrived in the parking lot of a local grocery store she discovered Carol Sue Marlow, 44, of 704 East Beech Street, sitting unconscious in the driver's seat of a car with the engine idling, Jarrett's report said.
According to the arrest warrant, when Jarrett roused Marlow she had "bloodshot eyes and slurred speech."
Records indicate Marlow admitted to taking some prescription medication prior to her trip to the store.
Marlow agreed to a field sobriety test but was unable to perform satisfactorily. She refused to submit to a blood alcohol content test, Jarrett said in the report.
Marlow was arrested and charged with first offense driving under the influence and violation of implied consent law.
She is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 2.
