20090144858GENETIC METHOD - The present invention describes a method of increasing plan yield. Also described are DNA constructs comprising DNA sequences coding for proteins involved in sucrose transport, metabolism and uptake operably linked to controllable promoter regions and plants transformed with said constructs. More particularly a method for the controlled production of said proteins resulting in an alteration in plant growth characteristics, flowering time and in yield is described.06-04-2009

20100126844Method and Apparatus for Processing Wastewater - An apparatus for processing wastewater includes a pump driven by a motor, a gas/liquid separator, a liquid entrainment section, and a gas/solid separator The inventive method includes Introducing air and a liquid into the pump, where they are subjected to high heat and pressure, then delivered to the gas/liquid separator to separate the hot air from the hot liquid The hot air is then expanded through a nozzle to atmospheric pressure The liquid to be treated is injected into the hot air stream in the entrainment section The hot liquid from the gas/liquid separator passes through a valve to lower the high pressure liquid to near atmospheric pressure, thereby achieving flash evaporation of the hot liquid to produce hot water and hot steam, which is combined with the liquid to be treated and the hot air in the entrainment section This combined stream Is then delivered to the gas/solid separator05-27-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090038362Refractory metal plates with improved uniformity of texture - A refractory metal plate is provided. The plate has a center, a thickness, an edge, a top surface and a bottom surface, and has a crystallographic texture (as characterized by through thickness gradient, banding severity; and variation across the plate, for each of the texture components 100//ND and 111//ND, which is substantially uniform throughout the plate.02-12-2009
20100031720Methods and apparatus for controlling texture of plates and sheets by tilt rolling - Methods and apparatus for rolling metal sheet or plate are provided. The method comprises the step of feeding the metal plate or sheet into a rolling mill at an angle. The apparatus comprises a rolling mill having a tilted feed table, or an apron upon which a transfer table and tilted feed table can rest. Through-thickness gradient and shear texture can be improved using the methods and apparatus of the invention.02-11-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080313010Online survey spawning, administration and management - A method and apparatus for spawning and management of online surveys is provided. An administration and redirector subsystem (ARS) is used manage ongoing surveys for a plurality of sites. Surveys can be added to or removed from individual sites using the ARS. The ARS also tracks statistics for individual surveys. Redirector tags invite users to participate in surveys and track user survey participation through cookies. The system can be used to conduct advertisement effectiveness studies. Tracker tags and corresponding cookies are used to track users who have viewed content containing the tag. Each study is issued a unique content tag, but uses the same redirector tag.12-18-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090127505Surfactant incorporated nanostructure for pressure drop reduction in oil and gas lines - Nano-sized rare earth metal oxide particles are prepared from aqueous reverse micelles. The engineered nanoparticles have large surface area to volume ratios, and uniformly incorporate a surfactant in each particle, so that when applied to the inner surface of a pipeline or sprayed onto a fluid stream in a pipeline, the particles reduce the roughness of the inside surface of pipe being used to transport fluid. The application of a nanolayer of this novel nanoceria mixture causes a significant reduction in pressure drops, friction, and better recovery and yield of fluid flowing through a pipeline.05-21-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110108407Desalination Method and Apparatus - An improved method and apparatus for the desalination of water, and particularly sea water. The apparatus includes a pump such as a progressive cavity pump driven by a motor, an initial gas/liquid separator such as a gravity separator, a liquid entrainment section such as a serpentine coil, a final in-line gas/liquid separator to separate the moisture-laden air stream from the brine, and a condenser to condense the moisture in the air stream to produce clean water.05-12-2011
