Title: Methods for analyzing boron-containing alkaline pulping liquors
Inventor: HSU WU-HWA WESLEY
IPC: G01N27/416
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: Chemical species (e.g., metaborate, carbonate, hydroxide and sulfide) in a boron-containing alkaline wood pulping liquor sample are determined quantitatively by (i) subjecting a first aliquot portion of the sample to a primary acid titration analysis to derive multiple equivalence points at different respective pH values; (ii) subjecting a second aliquot portion of the sample to an analysis to determine the quantitative presence of boron or sulfide ions therein, and then (iii) determining the quantitative presence in the sample of at least one of the chemical species. Wood pulping parameters may thus be determined on the basis of the quantitative presence of the chemical species to assist in process and/or quality control of the wood pulping operation. For example, the sample may be analyzed for boron content using colorimetry or atomic spectroscopy and/or analyzed for sulfide ion content using a secondary silver sulfide precipitation titration analysis, each of which may be conducted substantially simultaneously with the primary acid titration analysis. Most preferably sulfide ion content is analyzed using a secondary silver sulfide precipitation analysis and the primary acid titration analysis and secondary silver sulfide precipitation analysis are conducted substantially simultaneously in parallel on separate independent autotitration units which are electronically coupled and preprogrammed such that all necessary analytical results and solution properties are calculated and reported automatically.

Title: Bacteria and yeasts for reducing fusarium head blight in cereals and selection thereof
Inventor: SCHISLER DAVID A
IPC: A01N63/32
Filed: 2000-10-06
Abstract: A method for selecting candidate microbial antagonists that will suppress Fusarium head blight (head scab) in cereals, particularly in wheat and barley relies on the ability of strains obtained from seed heads to utilize choline or betaine as a sole carbon source. Strains that are choline or betaine utilization positive are bioassayed in the seed head of a cereal plant inoculated with F. graminearum for the ability of the strains to reduce the incidence of FHB. Strains that suppress the disease are further evaluated in greenhouse and field studies. From a pool of more than 700 strains, 4 yeasts (NRRL Y-30213, NRRL    Y-30214, NRRL Y-30215, and NRRL Y-30216 and 1 bacteria (NRRL       B-30212) have been identified as being superior antagonists capable of suppressing head blight.

Abstract: A novel structural log member and method for making and using the same includes a core and an outer covering. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the core comprises insulating foam material sandwiched between two panels of oriented strand board providing structural strength, fire retardant, insect retardant and thermal insulating qualities to the structural log member. The insulation "R" value of the member is adjusted by varying the thickness of the foam material. Attached to the outer surfaces of the core are coverings made from wood milled into various profiles and given a desired texture. To construct a wall the structural log members are stacked together.  A key and notch arrangement fabricated into the respective tops and bottoms of each structural member is used to join the stacked members. A method of manufacturing the structural log includes applying a set amount of torque to tensioning bolts embedded in the structural member to secure the coverings to the core. A method of construction using the structural member includes applying a further amount of torque to the embedded tensioning bolts to secure the structural members in a stacked relationship.  Another embodiment of the invention includes at least one notch along the top and bottom of the core of the structural member so that when the structural members are stacked weatherproof utility conduits are formed.

IPC: B23K26/08
Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: A rotary welding apparatus for joining two metallic workpieces together by forming a semi-circular weld at a semi-circular interface formed at mating surfaces of the workpieces. A turntable is rotated by a turntable drive. The turntable supports and indexes three lower tools around a circular path between a load station and a weld station. Each lower tool supports two workpieces to be welded together. A workpiece rotary drive connects to whichever of the lower tools is at the weld station then rotates that lower tool about a workpiece axis. A laser emitter supported adjacent the weld station directs a laser beam at a circular or semi-circular interface between respective mating surfaces of the two workpieces and welds the workpieces together as the workpiece rotary drive rotates them.  The laser emitter is supported on a laser emitter mount near the weld station in a position directing a laser beam at the interface of the workpiece mating surfaces. The laser emitter mount has two support points spaced radially from each other relative to the laser emitter to stabilize the laser emitter for improve welding accuracy.

Patent CA-2350099-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRADLEY ROBERT K
IPC: C01B31/02
Filed: 1999-11-03
Abstract: The present invention discloses the process of supplying high pressure (e.g., 30 atmospheres) CO that has been preheated (e.g., to about 1000 °C) and a catalyst precursor gas (e.g., Fe(CO)5) in CO that is kept below the catalyst precursor decomposition temperature to a mixing zone. In this mixing zone, the catalyst precursor is rapidly heated to a temperature that results in (1) precursor decomposition, (2) formation of active catalyst metal atom clusters of the appropriate size, and (3) favorable growth of SWNTs on the catalyst clusters.  Preferably a catalyst cluster nucleation agency is employed to enable rapid reaction of the catalyst precursor gas to form many small, active catalyst particles instead of a few large, inactive ones. Such nucleation agencies can include auxiliary metal precursors that cluster more rapidly than the primary catalyst, or through provision of additional energy inputs (e.g., from a pulsed or CW laser) directed precisely at the region where cluster formation is desired. Under these conditions SWNTs nucleate and grow according to the Boudouard reaction. The SWNTs thus formed may be recovered directly or passed through a growth and annealing zone maintained at an elevated temperature (e.g., 1000 °C) in which tubes may continue to grow and coalesce into ropes.
