| 20110319221 | THREE SPEED GEARBOX FROM SINGLE PLANETARY GEARSET - The present invention is a three forward speed gearbox with reverse from a single planetary gearset. The forward speed ratios include a low gear, one to one, and overdrive. The reverse gear ratio is identical with the low gear. Forward rotation of the output shaft in first gear is accomplished by reversing the direction of the input motor. This is easily achieved from a bi-directional prime mover such as a hydraulic motor or electric motor. Another advantage of using a bi-directional prime mover is that the bi-directional rotation of the input shaft provides forward, reverse and back drive to accumulate energy in an accumulator. | 12-29-2011 |

| 20100279144 | Coated article with low-E coating having titanium oxide layer and/or nicr based layer(s) to improve color values and/or transmission, and method of making same - Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to a coated article including a low-E coating. In certain example embodiments, a titanium oxide inclusive bottom layer stack and/or a NiCr-based layer(s) are designed to improve b* coloration values and/or transmission of the coated article. These layer stack portions also are advantageous in that they permit a double-silver coated article to achieve (i) an LSG value (T | 11-04-2010 |

| 20080199341 | MOTOR AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A motor and a method of operating the motor are described. The motor may have a female rotor shaft having mounted thereon a female compression rotor, a female power rotor, and a spur gear. The motor may also have a male rotor shaft having mounted thereon a male compression rotor, a male power rotor and a power rotor gear. A housing containing the foregoing may have a front housing plate, a compression rotor case, an isolator plate, a power rotor case, a rear housing plate, and a gear cover adjacent the rear housing plate. The various female and male rotors are engaged with one another within the housing. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20090030586 | VALVETRAIN DRIVE STRETCH COMPENSATION FOR CAMSHAFT TO CRANKSHAFT CORRELATION - A method of correlating a rotational position of a crankshaft to a rotational position of a camshaft includes determining a stretch value of a timing connection, which drivingly couples the crankshaft and the camshaft, and calculating a crankshaft to camshaft rotational position value indicative of the rotational position of the crankshaft with respect to the rotational position of the camshaft. The crankshaft to camshaft rotational position value is compensated based on the stretch value to provide a compensated crankshaft to camshaft rotational position value and whether the rotational position of the crankshaft correlates to the rotational position of the camshaft is determined based on the compensated crankshaft to camshaft rotational position value. | 01-29-2009 |

| 20090023902 | Method for the extraction of intracellular proteins from a fermentation broth - A method for extracting an intracellular peptide, protein or other polypeptide from a whole fermentation broth using a water miscible alcohol, or a water miscible or partially water miscible glycol ether. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090321352 | LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION - A liquid-liquid extraction process that uses counterflowing liquid phases, especially in conjunction with a reciprocating plate extraction column, wherein one of the liquid phases has a lower density than the other and is at least partially saturated with a dispersible gas, requires less plate stack height or a smaller column diameter when plate-to-plate spacing is non-uniform rather than uniform and such non-uniform plate-to-plate spacing includes greater plate-to-plate spacing proximate to raffinate liquid discharge than proximate to feed of the lower density liquid phase. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100099155 | RECOVERY OF VOLATILE PRODUCTS FROM FERMENTATION BROTH - Provided are apparatuses and processes for the removal and purification of fermentation prepared one or more volatile organic compounds. The apparatuses comprise a fermentor unit, a vacuum side stripper unit ( | 04-22-2010 |
| 20110005914 | Selective dehydrohalogenation of tertiary halogenated hydrocarbons and removal of tertiary halogenated hydrocarbon impurities from a halogenated hydrocarbon product - A process for converting a tertiary halogenated hydrocarbons in a tertiary halogenated hydrocarbon-containing stream to a corresponding unhalogenated or less-halogenated unsaturated hydrocarbon product with the release of hydrogen halide involves contacting the tertiary halogenated hydrocarbon with a sorbent-type dehydrohalogenation catalyst in a reaction zone and optionally passing a stripping gas through the reaction zone to remove vapor phase reaction products from the reaction zone. A process for removing a tertiary chlorinated hydrocarbon impurity from 1,3-dichloro-1-propene involves contacting a mixture containing the 1,3-dichloro-1-propene and the tertiary chlorinated hydrocarbon impurity with a dehydrochlorination catalyst effective to catalyze a conversion of the tertiary chlorinated hydrocarbon impurity to a corresponding unchlorinated or less-chlorinated unsaturated hydrocarbon and hydrogen chloride and distilling the 1,3-dichloro-1-propene to produce a purified cis-1,3-dichloro-1-propene fraction and a purified trans-1,3-dichloro-1-propene fraction. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110031102 | PURIFICATION OF HYDROFORMYLATED AND HYDROGENATED FATTY ALKYL ESTER COMPOSITIONS - Effect separation of a composition of matter that includes at least two seed or plant oil derivatives into at least one desired product stream using at least two separation operations, which are independently selected from among several potential separation operations, in conjunction with at least one recycle stream from a separation operation. | 02-10-2011 |
