| 20090267187 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE AND STRUCTURE THEREFOR - An energy storage device such as a metal-insulator-metal capacitor and a method for manufacturing the energy storage device. The metal-insulator-metal capacitor includes an insulating material positioned between a bottom electrode or bottom plate and a top electrode or top plate. The surface area of the bottom electrode is greater than the surface area of the insulating material and the surface area of the insulating material is greater than the surface area of the top electrode. The top electrode and the insulating layer have edges that are laterally within and spaced apart from edges of the bottom electrode. A protective layer covers the top electrode, the edges of the top electrode, and the portions of the insulating layer that are uncovered by the top electrode. The protective layer serves as an etch mask during the formation of the bottom electrode. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20110263917 | Process for Producing Propylene and Aromatics from Butenes by Metathesis and Aromatization - The invention is for a process for producing propylene and hexene (along with ethylene, pentenes, product butenes, heptenes and octenes) by metathesis from butenes (iso-, 1- and cis and trans 2-) and pentenes and then aromatizing the hexenes (along with higher olefins, such as heptenes and octenes) to benzene (along with toluene, xylenes, ethylbenzene and styrene). Since the desired products of the metathesis reaction are propylene and hexene, the feed to the metathesis reaction has a molar ratio for 1-butene:2-butene which favors production of propylene and 3-hexene with the concentration of hexenes and higher olefins in the metathesis product being up to 30 mole %. An isomerization reactor may be used to obtain the desired molar ratio of 1-butene:2-butene for the feed composition into the metathesis reactor. After the metathesis reaction, of hexene and higher olefins are separated for aromatization to benzene and other aromatics. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20100223732 | UNITARY COMPOSITE/HYBRID CUSHIONING STRUCTURE(S) AND PROFILE(S) COMPRISED OF A THERMOPLASTIC FOAM(S) AND A THERMOSET MATERIAL(S) - Embodiments disclosed in the detailed description include a unitary or monolithic composite or hybrid cushioning structure(s) and profile(s) comprised of a cellular thermoplastic foam and a thermoset material. The thermoset material may also be provided as cellular foam as well. In one embodiment disclosed herein, the unitary composite cushioning structure is formed from a cellular thermoplastic foam and a thermoset material. The cellular thermoplastic foam provides support characteristics to the unitary composite cushioning structure. The thermoset material provides a resilient structure with cushioning characteristics to the cushioning structure. A stratum is disposed between at least a portion of the cellular thermoplastic foam and at least a portion of the thermoset material to secure the at least a portion of the thermoset material to the at least a portion of the cellular thermoplastic foam to provide a unitary composite cushioning structure. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20090071098 | REINFORCED COMPOSITE PANEL - A reinforced panel, made of a composite material, includes a single base layer. A first plurality of mutually parallel ridges is affixed to the surface of the base layer. A second plurality of mutually parallel ridges is also affixed to the surface of the base layer, but oriented transverse to the first plurality. Structurally, the ridges and the base layer are co-cured to create an integral, continuous structure that provides stiffness and rigidity to the panel. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090072088 | FLYAWAY KABOBS - An aircraft wing made of a composite material, and its method of manufacture, require a plurality of kabobs (i.e. substantially rectangular shaped hollow tubes having an open end and a closed end). Of these kabobs, several are aligned end-to-end, to create a section. Several sections are then positioned side-by-side and covered by a layer of composite material to define an aerodynamic surface for the wing. The juxtaposed sections also establish spar webs for the wing, and the closed ends of the juxtaposed sections establish transverse ribs for the wing. Thus, the kabobs form the main load-bearing member of the wing. The sections of composite material are co-cured with the composite material of the aerodynamic surface. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090072429 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A REINFORCED PANEL OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL - A method for manufacturing rigid panels made of a composite material requires a caul sheet having a smooth surface that is formed with a plurality of grooves. A first layer of the composite material is laid on the caul sheet, and is cut to create flaps that extend into the respective grooves. Strips of composite material are then placed along the edges of the groove to extend and overlap each other in the groove. Next, a unidirectional ply is placed along the length of the groove, and this combination is then covered with a second layer of the composite material. Together, the combination of the first and second layers, the strips and the unidirectional ply are co-cured to create a rigid panel with integral stiffening members. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090194637 | AIRCRAFT DOOR - A cabin door assembly is provided for use with a pressurized aircraft. The assembly includes two door halves for engaging the fuselage of the aircraft. Structurally, each door half includes a waist section integral with an adjoining tapered section. Further, the assembly includes an activator that is mounted on the fuselage and attached to the door halves. Specifically, the activator is attached to each door half to concertedly move each door half between a closed configuration and an open configuration. In the closed configuration, the door halves are sealed to the fuselage and to each other for pressurization of the aircraft. In the open configuration, the door halves extend outwardly from the fuselage to allow for aircraft ingress and egress. | 08-06-2009 |
