  • Publication number: 20090202846
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for applying thermal spray particles to a composite, wherein the method includes the steps of providing a composite that includes a thermally sensitive surface, and applying the thermal spray particles at a temperature that is high enough to cause a temperature-dependent change in the thermally sensitive surface of the composite. The temperature-dependent change improves adhesion between the thermal spay particles and the composite.

  • Publication number: 20080118979
    Abstract: The present invention relates, at least in part, to the use of substituted tetracycline compounds for regulation of expression of nucleic acids operably linked to a tetracycline operator system. The invention pertains to compounds used in a regulatory system which utilizes components of the Tet repressor/operator/inducer system of prokaryotes to regulate gene expression in cells. Use of certain substituted tetracycline compounds, as featured in the methods of the invention, result in improved dose-response results when compared to those for e.g., tetracycline and doxycycline. Certain methods of the invention thus allow for enhanced control of the Tet repressor/operator/inducer system in regulating gene expression in cells.

  • Publication number: 20070184206
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making an industrial fabric comprising the following steps: -applying a radiation-curable powder onto the surface of a fabric, melting the powder such that the powder forms a layer on the fabric surface and directing radiation at said surface layer so as to cure the constituent material of said coating layer.

  • Patent number: 7229798
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated method of transposon-mediated multiplex sequencing of DNA fragments inserted into a vector. It relates more particularity to an increased efficiency in such automated methods, where the increased efficiency is obtained by screening out before the sequencing those constructs in which the transposon inserted into the vector sequence. This prevents a waste of time and resources in performing reactions sequencing the vector instead of the DNA fragments of interest.

  • Publication number: 20060191427
    Abstract: Disclosed in this specification is a decal assembly comprising a decal support, a releasable covercoat, a heat activatable layer, and an ink layer. The ink layer forms a digital image. The heat activatable layer has a high adhesion to a ceramic substrate at high temperatures and a low adhesion to the substrate at lower temperatures. Thus the adhesive properties of the decal are activated by heat. The resulting image has excellent adhesion to the substrate and resists the effects of washing.
