20140273330 | METHOD OF FORMING SINGLE SIDE TEXTURED SEMICONDUCTOR WORKPIECES - Methods of creating a workpiece having a smooth side and a textured side are disclosed. In some embodiments, a first side of a workpiece is doped, using ion implantation or diffusion, to create a doped layer. This doped layer of the first side may be more resistant to chemical treatment than the second side of the workpiece. This allows the second side of the workpiece to be textured without capping or otherwise protecting the doped first side, even though the doped layer of the first side physically contacts the chemical treatment. In some embodiments, a p-type dopant is used to create the doped layer. In some embodiments, the workpiece is processed to form a solar cell. | 09-18-2014 |

20100307051 | BIODIESEL PRODUCTION USING ULTRA LOW CATALYST CONCENTRATIONS IN A MEMBRANE REACTOR - A method for producing a fuel or fuel additive comprising providing a reaction mixture comprising oil and an alcohol in an oil-in-alcohol emulsion and a catalyst for converting the oil to the fuel or the fuel additive. The oil and the alcohol are reacted in the presence of the catalyst, at a concentration below that used in a conventional batch process, to produce the fuel or fuel additive. This low level of catalyst reduces the formation of diols and oxidation products that can diminish the quality of the fuel or fuel additive. The fuel or fuel additive produced is continuously removed during the reaction, effectively de-coupling the concentration of catalyst used from the rate of the two phase reaction. | 12-09-2010 |

20100304393 | Genetic predictors of international normalized ratio (INR) fluctuation with warfarin therapy - There are disclosed methods and kits for identifying a subject having genetic predictors of predisposition to abnormal international normalized ratio (INR) fluctuation during warfarin therapy. In an embodiment, a method includes testing the subject to check for a presence of a predetermined genetic variation. The predetermined genetic variation is correlated with abnormal INR fluctuation during warfarin therapy. The subject is identified as having a predisposition to abnormal INR fluctuation during warfarin therapy when the testing indicates the presence of the predetermined genetic variation. In one embodiment, a kit includes a test to check the subject for a presence of a predetermined genetic variation. The predetermined genetic variation is correlated with abnormal INR fluctuation during warfarin therapy. The kit includes an indicator to identify the presence of the predetermined genetic variation so as to identify the subject as having a predisposition to abnormal INR fluctuation during warfarin therapy. | 12-02-2010 |
