  • Patent number: 11160819
    Abstract: Borocarbohydrate complex containing compositions are presented that have an improved di-complex to boric acid ratio. In some embodiments, compositions are characterized by a di-complex to boric acid ratio of at least 5:1 and more typically at least 10:1 in liquid form, and at least 20:1 in dried form. In other embodiments, compositions are characterized by a minimum content of 80 wt % di-complex and a boric acid content of less than 15 wt %, and more typically less than 5 wt %. Contemplated compositions are thought to have improved biological activity and reduced content of undesired components.

  • Patent number: 6202316
    Abstract: A composite structure for use in a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) includes a metallic material joined to a non-metallic material, wherein each material possesses a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) less than or equal to 6.1×10−6 cm/cm/° C. The metallic material may be INVAR, an alloy of iron and nickel, and the non-metallic material may be carbon fiber reinforced composite. Also, the metallic material may be in the shape of a space frame with the non-metallic material in the shape of stiffeners adhered to the space frame. The modulus of elasticity of the combined space frame and stiffeners is preferably greater than 140 GPa. The space frame may be a modified I-beam with reinforcing structures and mass-reducing cutouts. The stiffener may be a square tube, wherein one stiffener is adhered to each I-beam flange of the space frame. The stiffeners are ground and lapped to produce bearing tracks of high precision for air bearings to traverse.
