  • Patent number: 11705676
    Abstract: A plug configured to be at least partially inserted into a central housing of a turbocharger. The plug includes a body having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a threaded portion extending from the second end to a location on the body between the first end and the second end. The plug further includes a heat sink coupled to the second end, and a microchip mounted to a substrate that is coupled to the heat sink, the microchip configured to store information related to the turbocharger, wherein the microchip is at least partially submerged in coolant in the central housing when the plug is inserted into the central housing of the turbocharger.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9472232
    Abstract: Disclosed is an optical disc with a first area to store data for playback and that is reflective or opaque to visible light, and a second area that is transparent to visible light and includes first and second concentric rings. In one embodiment, a method of printing information on the optical disc includes: printing an inverse first text pattern in the first ring during a first printing on a first side, where the first text pattern is formed in reverse as viewed from the first side; printing a second text pattern in the second ring during a second printing on the first side, where the second text pattern is correctly visible from the first side; and printing, during the second printing, a first solid pattern to overlay at least a portion of the first text pattern, where the first text pattern is correctly visible as viewed from a second side.

  • Patent number: 5478728
    Abstract: A process is disclosed by which a substrate is catalytically converted to a cis olefin via a syn elimination reaction. The catalyst is a monoclonal antibody or paratope-containing molecule that binds to the substrate as well as to a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane or bicylo[2.2.2]octane compound that is an analogue to the substrate having its bulky substituents in eclipsed positions. The chemical reaction is carried out in an aqueous medium. The catalyst molecules and hybridoma cells that secrete those molecules are also contemplated, as is a process for using cyclopentadiene or cyclohexadiene to prepare a hapten used to induce production of the catalyst molecules.
