  • Publication number: 20170260548
    Abstract: Described is a method for the production of isobutene from 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA comprising the steps of: (a) enzymatically converting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA into 3-methylbutyric acid; and (b) further enzymatically converting the thus produced 3-methylbutyric acid into isobutene. The conversion of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA into 3-methylbutyric acid can be achieved by first enzymatically converting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA into 3-methylbutyryl-CoA and further enzymatically converting the thus produced 3-methylbutyryl-CoA into 3-methylbutyric acid. Alternatively, the conversion of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA into 3-methylbutyric acid can be achieved by first enzymatically converting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA into 3-methylcrotonic acid and then further enzymatically converting the thus produced 3-methylcrotonic acid into 3-methylbutyric acid.

  • Patent number: 6846578
    Abstract: Method of synthesis of confined colloidal crystals using electrodeposition. The present invention provides a method of growing confined colloidal crystal structures using electrodeposition of monodispersed charged colloid spheres onto a substrate patterned with an array of electroconductive surface relief features on a surface of a substrate. In this approach, control over large-scale ordering is achieved via a planar pattern whose scale is on the order of tens of microns, a regime readily accessed through coarse lithography, laser micromachining, and holography.

  • Patent number: 6043573
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a linear voice coil actuator, capable of continuously generating a one hundred kilogram force with less than two amperes of current, requires using a coil for generating an electrical field and an unsaturated permanent magnet circuit for generating a magnetic field. In the method of manufacture, a flat surface of the electrical coil is positioned parallel to a flat surface of the magnet to establish a gap therebetween. Before operating the actuator, when no current is running through the coil, a distance of approximately 0.75 mm is established across the gap. Subsequently, during operation of the actuator, when a current of less than approximately two amperes is driven through the coil, the electrical field generated by the coil interacts with the magnetic field of the magnet to generate as much as a 100 kg force on the coil.
