Title: Process for the biotechnological preparation of poly-d-(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid
Inventor: LAFFERTY ROBERT M
IPC: C12P7/62
Filed: 1984-11-29
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the biotechnological preparation of poly-D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) which comprises continuously culturing a microorganism that is a strain of Alcaligenes latus or a PHB-producing mutant thereof, in two separate successive fermentation stages with unrestricted supply of nutrients.

Title: An engine operational status method and system
Inventor: BOGGS DAVID LEE
IPC: B60K6/445
Filed: 2001-12-04
Granted: 2005-03-09
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for determining "engine on" status in a Hybrid Electric Vehicle. A controller determines that the engine is necessary and then checks the current "engine on" status. If the engine is not currently running, the controller proceeds to start the engine by commanding the generator to spin or "motor" the engine. The controller then starts fuel and spark within the engine to create combustion. Measuring devices are then used to determine the ion current/breakdown voltage across a spark gap in the engine. The controller receives this measurement and determines whether the measured ion current/breakdown voltage exceeds a calibratable threshold. If the calibratable threshold is exceeded, combustion is occurring and the engine is on. The controller then turns on the "engine on" status flag.

Granted: 2006-03-15
Abstract: A gas sensor of the type having a housing defining a chamber within which light is transmitted from a source to a detector through an optical path, includes internal mirror portions having part ellipsoidal shape. Light is transmitted from a source to a detector via the reflective portions. The detector is arranged to sense light only from a limited range of angles, such that only light transmitted through a defined optical path reflected off the two reflective portions from the source reaches the sensor. This ensures that there is a constant optical path from the source to the detector, which improves the signal to noise ratio of the device.
