Granted: 2008-05-20
Abstract: A duplex stainless steel alloy has been developed, which contains in weight- %: C maximum 0.05, Si maximum 0.8, Mn 0.3-4, Cr 27-35, Ni 3-10, Mo 0-3, N 0.30-0.55, Cu 0.5-3.0, W 2.0-5.0, S maximum 0.010 balance Fe and normally occurring impurities and additions. The content of Fe is 30-70 volume-%. The steel all oy well suited in those chloride environments, where demands are made on god resistance to crevice corrosion. A relatively high content of W has at the same time given a god effect on both the pitting- and crevice corrosion properties.

Title: Aptitude au traitement amelioree de masses de caoutchouc chargees de silice
Inventor: OZIOMEK JAMES
IPC: C08K5/151
Filed: 1999-11-24
Granted: 2009-03-17
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des composés élastomères vulcanisés chargés de silice contenant un élastomère mélangé à au moins une charge de silice, un additif de traitement et un agent de vulcanisation, ainsi que leurs procédés de préparation. D'une manière générale, la présente invention concerne des additifs de traitement réduisant ou remplaçant efficacement la quantité (c'est-à-dire environ 10 % en poids basé sur la charge de silice) de l'additif de traitement bis[3-triéthyoxysilyl)propyl]tétrasulfure ("Si69") utilisé dans la production de masses de caoutchouc chargées de silice. Ces nouveaux additifs de traitement contiennent des alcoxysilanes d'alkyle, des esters d'acide gras de sucres hydrogénés et non hydrogénés ainsi que leurs dérivés de polyoxyéthylène, et des combinaisons de ceux-ci, avec ou sans diverses charges non renforçantes telles que des charges minérales. Les additifs de traitement ne détériorent pas les propriétés physiques des composés et on a découvert qu'ils constituent d'excellents produits de substitution du Si69. Les additifs de traitement peuvent avoir comme support la charge de silice ou n'importe laquelle des autres charges utilisées dans la composition pour obtenir une mise en oeuvre, une sécurité et un rendement améliorés. L'invention concerne également les procédés de préparation d'élastomères vulcanisables chargés de silice, de même que des pneumatiques employant une charge de bande de roulement contenant les nouveaux élastomères vulcanisables.

Title: Conformational and topological protein regulation
Inventor: LINGAPPA VISHWANATH R
IPC: C12N1/15
Filed: 2000-12-15
Granted: 2007-03-13
Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for identifying novel conformers of proteins not known to exist as different conformers. By using chimeric genes replacing a native signal sequence with a different signal sequence resulting in the production of a conformer, one can compare the native protein with the product of the chimeric gene.      Where the conformations are different, the different protein may be used for production of antibodies, elucidation of mechanisms associated with the native and different conformer protein, assays for the presence of the different conformer in physiological samples, identification of compounds specifically binding to the conformer, particularly drugs, etc.      Where the formation of the conformer is associated with a diseased state, the conformer may be used in screens to identify compounds as drug candidates.

Granted: 2009-06-02
Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed for controlled addition of components that decrease the viscosity of the viscoelastic surfactant fluids or for controlled changes in the electrolyte concentration or composition of the viscoelastic surfactant fluids. One aspect of the invention relates to the use of internal breakers with a delayed activation.

Title: Simple types in xml schema complex types
Inventor: DUNNE SEAN
IPC: G06F40/143
Filed: 2003-06-17
Granted: 2008-04-01
Abstract: Within the scope of existing XML Schema specifications, an approach is provided to embed simple types within a complex type so an XML stream can have instances of the embedded simple types, even without the presence of XML elements. Because the approach is within the scope of existing XML Schema specifications, the approach is transparent to known XML parsers. With the approach, an XML schema will have a complex type with a mixed flag set to true and an element set to be a dummy element. The dummy element has a simple type and one of (i) a name of the dummy element and (ii) a name of the simple type is one of a predetermined set of names. This XML schema is for use with a parser which, on parsing the schema, will interpret the dummy element as one of an embedded simple type and an inherited simple type.

Abstract: A hydroponic growing unit having a base shaped to hold liquid, the outer periphery of the base defined by an outer, vertical base wall. The unit has a vertical plant support wall forming a generally annular enclosure, the support wall mounted on the wall of the base to extend above the base and to enclose space above the base. There is at least one opening in the support wall providing access to the enclosed space and to the inner surface of the support wall. The opening is normally closed by at least one wall panel forming part of the support wall. The unit has vertical light means mounted in the center of the annular enclosure. Planting block support means are arranged on the inner surface of the support wall near the top and planting blocks, in which plants are planted, are mounted on the support means in a circle to have the plants face the central light means. A watering member is associated with each support means to provide water, pumped from the base, to the top of each block mounted on the support means.

Title: Hot melt adhesive dispensing applicator assembly with independent gear pump assemblies
Inventor: MCGUFFEY GRANT
IPC: B05C5/02
Filed: 2003-11-17
Granted: 2007-07-31
Abstract: A new and improved gear pump assembly, and a new and improved hot melt adhesive applicator assembly having a plurality of the new and improved gear pump assemblies incorporated therein, wherein each gear pump assembly is mounted upon the applicator assembly in an entirely independent manner such that each gear pump assembly can be individually removed from the applicator assembly, and replaced back onto the applicator assembly, as may be necessary in connection with, for example, repair or maintenance procedures. The independence of each gear pump assembly also effectively prevents damage to one gear pump assembly from adversely affecting the operation of the other gear pump assemblies. Furthermore, in view of the fact that a driven gear of each gear pump assembly projects radially outwardly through an end face of the gear pump assembly so as to operatively engage a common drive shaft of the applicator assembly, as opposed to having the common drive shaft of the applicator assembly pass through side portions or faces of all of the gear pump assemblies, not only is the aforenoted independent mounting of the plurality of gear pump assemblies upon the applicator assembly facilitated, but in addition, the need for all dynamic shaft seals, normally necessarily provided between the common drive shaft and one of the gear members of each gear pump assembly, is eliminated.
