Title: Vehicle closure panel having an intrusion beam as primary structure
Inventor: EL-SAYED MOHAMED
IPC: B60J5/10
Filed: 1999-09-13
Abstract: A vehicle closure panel includes an outer frame that is connected to a centr al beam portion to provide a primary structure that resists deformation and efficiently distributes impact forces during a collision. The present invention can be used with or without structural key members and mating recesses to integrate the closure panel with the rest of the vehicle body, depending on design criteria. Also, primary structure of the present inventi on provides a structural modularity for closure panels that simplifies design b y reducing the number of overall parts and uses the primary structure alone to  meet the demands for crash testing. Thus, a basic structure is relied on for  crash strength while accompanying secondary structures provide cosmetic differences. The inventive intrusion frame can be used with conventionally hinged passenger doors (both front and rear), vertically sliding doors, rear  minivan doors, utility vehicle lift-gates, tailgates, and cargo doors, trunk s, sliding van doors, or any vehicle door opening where it is desired to limit intrusion into the vehicle during a collision.

Title: Stable leveler
Inventor: VAILE BRUCE ROBERT
IPC: B62D55/116
Filed: 2001-09-14
Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a stabler leveling mechanism for tree harvesters. The present invention utilizes many of the same components of conventional leveling mechanisms for tree harvesters, but it alters the pivot axis of a swing-house assembly. A conventional swing-house assembly pivots about an axis parallel to the top surface of a carriage on level ground. That conventional assembly can be deleterious, therefore, applicant has altered the pivot axis of the swing-house assembly. Admittedly, merely moving the pivot axis seems simple but it is difficult. The components had to be constructed differently to obtain the desired results and simultaneously make the device stable within the working environment.

Inventor: PAN JUN
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2000-12-06
Abstract: Compressing and decompressing techniques for transformation matrices 3D computer graphics systems use to animate objects achieve high compression ratios by taking advantage of common characteristics of homogenous 3D transformation matrices. The techniques use a bitmap to encode information o n locations of ones and zeros of the matrix - bypassing the penchant of compilers to represent such information as high-precision numbers. Since mos t video game processors and display hardware are constrained by their resolutions and since an original transformation matrix often stores data th at is more accurate than necessary, the techniques convert some real numbers in  the matrix (e.g., those within the range of -1 and 1) into integers by scali ng them by a constant. The resulting compressed matrices occupy much less stora ge space than their non-compressed counterparts, and can be efficiently decompressed in real time for use in interactive real time 3D animations.</S DOAB>

Inventor: GRACE DENNIS R
IPC: G16B25/10
Filed: 2000-05-23
Abstract: Methods for normalization of experimental data with experiment-to-experiment variability. The experimental data may include biotechnology data or other data where experiment-to-experiment variability is introduced by an environment used to conduct multiple iterations of the same experiment.  Deviations in the experimental data are measured between a central character and data values from multiple indexed data sets. The central character is a value of an ordered comparison determined from the multiple indexed data sets.  The central character includes zero-order and low order central characters.  Deviations between the central character and the multiple indexed data sets are removed by comparing the central character to the measured deviations from the multiple indexed data sets, thereby reducing deviations between the multiple indexed data sets and thus reducing experiment-to-experiment variability.

Title: Ph dependent ion exchange matrix and method of use in the isolation of nucleic acids
Inventor: GROSCH JOSEPHINE C
IPC: C07H21/00
Filed: 2000-05-05
Abstract: pH dependent ion exchange matrices are provided, with methods for making such matrices, and methods for using such matrices to isolate a target nucleic acid, as such as plasmid DNA, chromosomal DNA, or RNA from contaminants, including proteins, lipids, cellular debris, or other nucleic acids. Each pH  dependent ion exchange matrix of this invention comprises at least two different ion exchange functional groups, one of which is capable of acting as an anion exchanger at a first pH, and the other of which is capable of acting as a cation exchanger at a second, higher pH. The matrix has an overall neutral charge in a pH range between the first and second pH. The pH dependent ion exchange matrices of the present invention are designed to bind to the target nucleic acid at a pH wherein the overall charge of the matrix is positive, and to release the target nucleic acid as the pH of the surrounding solution is increased. The target nucleic acid can be released from the pH  dependent matrix in little or no salt and at about a neutral pH. The matrices and methods of this invention enable one to isolate a target nucleic acid in very few steps, without the use of hazardous chemicals. Target nucleic acids isolated using the pH dependent ion exchange matrices according to the present invention can be used immediately without further extraction or isolation.
