20100003516	METHODS OF FABRICATING NANOSTRUCTURES AND NANOWIRES AND DEVICES FABRICATED THEREFROM - One-dimensional nanostructures having uniform diameters of less than approximately 200 nm. These inventive nanostructures, which we refer to as “nanowires”, include single-crystalline homostructures as well as heterostructures of at least two single-crystalline materials having different chemical compositions. Because single-crystalline materials are used to form the heterostructure, the resultant heterostructure will be single-crystalline as well. The nanowire heterostructures are generally based on a semiconducting wire wherein the doping and composition are controlled in either the longitudinal or radial directions, or in both directions, to yield a wire that comprises different materials. Examples of resulting nanowire heterostructures include a longitudinal heterostructure nanowire (LOHN) and a coaxial heterostructure nanowire (COHN).	01-07-2010

20100170612	PARTICLE LITHOGRAPHY METHOD AND ORDERED STRUCTURES PREPARED THEREBY - Particles having a non-uniform property, such as non-uniform charge, can be used to form complex yet controlled particle assemblies. In one method of fabrication, particles are located on a substrate, and a surface treatment applied to the exposed portion of the particle surface. The surface treatment modifies the particle properties within the exposed portion. One or more lithographed regions are not exposed to the surface treatment, providing spatial selectivity in inter-particle bonding after the particles are removed from the substrate.	07-08-2010
20100289736	ELECTROPHORETIC PARTICLES, AND PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF - An electrophoretic medium comprises at least one electrically charged particle dispersed posed in a fluid. The electrically charged particle comprises an inorganic black pigment having a surface area of at least about 7 m	11-18-2010
20110012825	ELECTROPHORETIC PARTICLES AND PROCESSES FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF - In electrophoretic media, it is advantageous to use pigment particles having a polymer chemically bonded to, or cross-linked around, the pigment particles, the polymer comprising repeating units derived from a fluorinated acrylate or fluorinated methacrylate monomer. The polymer desirably has a branched chain structure with side chains extending from a main chain. Desirably, the fluorinated acrylate or fluorinated methacrylate monomer comprises from 1 to 5 mole per cent of the polymer.	01-20-2011

20080257927	STORAGE SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE - A storage system for a vehicle. An insert of the storage system is configured to receive at least one food container of a given type. A cavity disposed in a floor of the vehicle is sized and shaped to receive the insert. A generally planar cover is configured to engage the floor to close off the cavity. The insert, cavity and cover cooperate to limit movement of the food container while being transported in the vehicle.	10-23-2008

20090102099	Injection Molding Apparatus Having Magnetic Valve Pin Coupling - A magnetic coupling for an injection molding apparatus, such as a hot half or hot runner, includes a first magnetic part for connection to an actuator, a valve pin plate, or the like and a movable second magnetic part for connection to a valve pin. The first magnetic part and the second magnetic part are coupled by a magnetic force. The first magnetic part can be part of the actuator. The second magnetic part can be part of the valve pin. A valve pin plate can be provided for a plurality of valve pins.	04-23-2009
20090148551	Injection Molding Apparatus With Plate Actuation of Valve Pins - An injection molding apparatus includes a back plate, a driven pulley connected to the back plate and rotatable with respect to the back plate, a screw connected to the driven pulley to rotate with the driven pulley, a motor having an attached drive pulley, a belt or chain coupling the driven pulley and the drive pulley, a valve pin plate, a nut connected to the valve pin plate and mated with the screw, at least one valve pin connected to the valve pin plate, a manifold fixed with respect to the back plate, and at least one nozzle connected to the manifold. The valve pin extends through the nozzle to control flow of molding material. The screw can be a ball screw and nut can be a ball nut. The screw can have one portion connected to the driven pulley and another portion connected to a mold plate in a rotatable manner. The valve pin plate may be an assembly with an upper plate, a lower plate, and at least one valve pin holder fixed between the upper plate and the lower plate, the valve pin being fastened to the valve pin plate assembly with the valve pin holder. The positions of the screw and nut can be reversed.	06-11-2009
20100233310	Thermal Shroud and Method of Making Same - An injection molding hot runner nozzle and a method of making such a nozzle are disclosed that improves heat transfer along the length of the nozzle. The nozzle includes a nozzle body and a heating element located on an outer surface of the nozzle body having a form-fitting thermally conductive shroud that conforms to a profile of the nozzle and the heating element.	09-16-2010
20110008532	METHOD OF MANUFACTURING HOT-RUNNER COMPONENT AND HOT-RUNNER COMPONENTS THEREOF - A method of manufacturing a hot-runner component includes providing a laser assembly, manufacturing a hot-runner component portion of a metallic material, introducing a property enhancing material to the hot-runner component portion, melting the property enhancing material onto the hot-runner component portion using a laser beam emitted from the laser assembly, and solidifying the melted property enhancing material on the hot-runner component portion.	01-13-2011

20080205974	Locking Nut, Bolt and Clip Systems and Assemblies - The locking nut and bolt system utilizes a bolt with thread having a plurality of notches generally longitudinally spaced in a predetermined pattern. Each notch has a lock face and an opposing slope. The locking unit carries one or more tines. The tine has a distal tine end adapted to latch onto the lock face of the notch on the bolt and, when the distal tine end is not disposed in one or more notches, the tine end moves on the bolt thread crest. When the distal tine end is in the notch or notches, the lock face of the notch prevents counter-rotational movement of the bolt with respect to the nut when the distal tine end abuts the lock face. The locking unit supports the tine and may be cylindrical, rectangular or on a perpendicular support face normal to a radial plane through the axial centerline of the nut thread. The locking unit may be on a nut insert or may be carried on the leg of a U, J or S-shaped clip. The locking unit may be recessed as a blind hole.	08-28-2008
