| 20100086429 | THIN WALLED POWDER METAL COMPONENT MANUFACTURING - A powder metal component which has a powder metal composition formed into a cylinder, wherein the cylinder includes a wall thickness and a length, and a ratio of the length to the thickness is relatively high such that conventional compaction methods are difficult to use. The powder metal composition includes approximately between 85% and 99% sponge iron powder, approximately between 0.1% and 2.0% graphite, and approximately between 0.1% and 2.0% ethylene bis-stearamide wax. The powder metal component can be manufactured using an apparatus which includes a hard material core rod, and a shaped elastic die configured to circumscribe the core rod, or conversely, an apparatus with a shaped elastic core rod and a hard die. In the case of the former, the shaped elastic die can have an inner contour wherein a longitudinal load on the shaped elastic die radially compresses the powder metal to the desired shape and density distribution, hi the latter, longitudinally compressing the core rod radially compresses the powder metal to the desired shape and density distribution. An ejection punch can be made flush with the liner an pressure on the elastic die relieved prior to ejection to promote end integrity, the elastic die can be compressed alone or simultaneous with axial compression of the powder metal or a collet can be used to radially compress the elastic die using axial motion. | 04-08-2010 |

| 20120022230 | IONIZABLE ISOTOPIC LABELING REAGENTS FOR RELATIVE QUANTIFICATION BY MASS SPECTROMETRY - Relative quantification of metabolites by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) requiring a mechanism for simultaneous analysis of multiple analytes in two or more samples. Labeling reagents that are reactive to particular compound classes and differ only in their isotopic compositions facilitate relative quantification. Heavy and light isotopic forms of methylacetimidate were synthesized and used as labeling reagents for quantification of amine-containing molecules. Heavy and light isotopic forms of formaldehyde and cholamine were also synthesized and used independently as labeling reagents for quantification of amine-containing and carboxylic acid-containing molecules, such as found in biological samples. The labeled end-products are positively charged under normal acidic conditions involving conventional Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) applications. Labeled primary and secondary amine and carboxylic acid end-products generated higher signals concerning mass-spectra than pre-cursor molecules and improved sensitivity. Improved accuracy concerning relative quantification was demonstrated by mixing heavy and light labeled | 01-26-2012 |
