20090017336 | POWER GENERATION DEVICE UTILIZING LIVING PLANT NUTRIENTS - A power generation device includes a gas producing section for the extraction and utilization of living plant nutrients to produce a hydrogen containing gas and a hydrogen utilizing section coupled to the gas producing section, wherein the hydrogen content of the gas is used to generate electrical energy. The gas producing section includes a housing adapted to be connected to a living plant and placed in communication with a nutrient containing region of the plant, a chamber within the housing containing a bacterium capable of converting the plant nutrients into the hydrogen containing gas, and a pathway adapted to bring the plant nutrients into contact with the bacterium. | 01-15-2009 |
20080196319 | CERAMIC ROUND TOOLS FOR THE MACHINING OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS - A tool, such as a monolithic ceramic round tool or ceramic inserted round tool fabricated from materials containing silicon nitride, is used for machining composite materials, plastics, and graphite. The tool contains at least a β-silicon nitride phase and a grain boundary phase that is composed of rare earth element oxides such as zirconia, yttria, ceria, and compounds that contain elements such as aluminum, magnesium, silicon, nitrogen and oxygen. The tool is formed by consolidating powder components at elevated temperature. The consolidated ceramic has a porosity of less than 2 vol. %. Composite materials that can be machined include glass fiber-polymer composites, whisker reinforced polymer composites, and carbon fiber containing composites. | 08-21-2008 |
