Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110084412INDEXING OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES WITH MULTIPLE WEIGHT MARKERS - A solution for indexing electronic devices includes corresponding electronic device including a die integrating an electronic circuit, the die having at least one index including a reference defining an ordered alignment of a plurality of locations on the die and a marker for defining a value of the index according to an arrangement of the marker with respect to the reference. In one embodiment, the marker includes a plurality of markers each one arranged at a selected one of the locations, the selected location of the marker defining a value of a digit associated with a corresponding power of a base higher than 2 within a number in a positional notation in the base representing the value of the index.04-14-2011

20110253851SIDE SKIRT MOUNTING ASSEMBLY FOR CONTAINER CHASSIS - A mounting assembly for securing a bracket, to which a side skirt may be attached to a frame of a wheeled container chassis semi-trailer. The assembly includes a support and at least one resilient securement member. A proximal end of the support may be mounted in a substantially outwardly transverse horizontal orientation to one side of the semi-trailer; a distal end secures the bracket in a position to maintain the side skirt in a substantially vertical configuration between the frame and a ground surface on which the semi-trailer is situated and substantially in line with the wheels on the one side of the semi-trailer. The securement members mount the support to the frame. The support may move relative to the frame in response to an applied force and is biased to return and maintain the support in the substantially outwardly transverse horizontal orientation when the force is removed.10-20-2011

20100059389Electrode for Membrane Electrolysis Cells - The invention relates to an electrode for membrane electrolysis cells comprising a grooved metal support favouring the gas release and the electrolyte renewal on its surface. The grooved geometry of the support may be obtained by erosion of a metal sheet with abrasive media in a continuous process.03-11-2010
20100084266Electrodes with Mechanically Roughened Surface for Electrochemical Applications - The invention relates to a method for roughening the surface of a metal sheet used as electrode support in industrial electrochemical applications, and an electrode made by such method. Mechanical roughening is imparted by skin-passing the sheet between two rollers of a rolling mill, at least one of which is patterned according to a predetermined profile to be transferred by compression to the surface of the metal sheet.04-08-2010
20110209992Electrode for Electrolysis Cell - The invention relates to an electrode formulation comprising a catalytic layer containing tin, ruthenium, iridium, palladium and niobium oxides applied to a titanium or other valve metal substrate. A protective layer based on titanium oxide modified with oxides of other elements such as tantalum, niobium or bismuth may be interposed between the substrate and the catalytic layer. The thus obtained electrode is suitable for use as an anode in electrolysis cells for chlorine production.09-01-2011

20080206871Large-Scale Production of Recombinant Transmembrane and Cytosolic Proteins - The present invention provides a method for producing large quantities of transmembrane and cytosolic proteins in a mammalian muscle cell. The method involves transfecting skeletal muscle cells in vivo with nucleic acids encoding the proteins by electroporation. The invention results in production of the desired protein on the order of about 2-3 magnitudes more as compared to standard methods, allowing for various biological uses including purification and crystallization.08-28-2008
