  • Patent number: 12383992
    Abstract: A heater box apparatus may include a shaft member and a gear member. The gear member may include one or more protrusions, with a first and a second protrusion being on a first side of the gear member and a third protrusion being on a second side of the gear member. The third protrusion may include an aperture configured to receive the shaft member. The shaft member may include a first shaft portion, a second shaft portion, and a hood that separates the first shaft portion from the second shaft portion. The hood may circumscribe an outer edge of a new, enlarged, or broken vehicle door bore, the door bore couples to the airflow doors, which directs airflow between hot and cold.

  • Publication number: 20100128265
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for measuring the fluorescence of nanodrop liquid samples is described in which the sample is held by surfa tension between two anvil surfaces (20, 24). Each anvil surface (20, 24) has an embedded optical fiber (18) with its end finished fl with the surface in the containment area wetted by the sample with the fiber (18) in line. Sample excitation is provided from the sid of the sample remote from the containment area. By selection of the fiber transmission numeric aperture the impact of exciting and ambient light on the measurement is minimized. A method of virtual filtering is taught in which any ambient or exciting light that does impinge on the measuring sensor is corrected by subtracting a scaled representation of the source from the measurement. The method and apparatus is capable of detecting (1) femptomole of sodium fluorescein in (1) microliter of TE buffer.

  • Publication number: 20060280946
    Abstract: A substrate includes a metal diamond-like-carbon coating composed of a first layer and second layer deposited thereupon and having a thickness of about 0.5 micrometer to 10 micrometers. The first layer is composed of a transition metal and includes a first surface and a second surface in contact with the substrate. The second layer is composed of carbon and a transition metal selected from the group consisting of tungsten, niobium, titanium and combinations thereof, and also includes a first surface and a second surface in contact with the first surface of the first layer. The metal-containing diamond-like-carbon coating compositions possesses an abrasive wear rate of no more than about 10×10?15 m3m?1N?1 over a negative biasing potential range of about ?50 volts to ?750 volts.
