  • Patent number: 7130708
    Abstract: Sheet metal forming is a manufacturing process in which flat sheet metal is drawn into a die cavity to form a product shape. Draw-in amount is the single most important stamping index that controls all forming characteristics (strains and stresses), formability failures (splits, wrinkles) and surface quality (distortions) on a panel. Adaptation of a new die set for repetitively stamping sheet metal parts to a part design specification is simplified by using a math-based simulation of the stamping operation under specified engineering stamping conditions for the specified part. The stamping simulations are used to create an engineered draw-in map comparing selected locations on the peripheral edge of the stamped part with corresponding locations on the peripheral edge of its original sheet metal blank.

  • Patent number: 7098005
    Abstract: Genes have been identified in the Methylomonas genome that are responsive to various metabolic and growth conditions. The identified responsiveness of these genes allows for the use of their promoters in regulated gene expression in C1 metabolizing bacteria. In particular, the hps promoter, which in its native state drives the expression of 3-hexulose-6-phosphate synthase (HPS), was found to be useful for directing expression of heterolgous coding regions (e.g., crtZ) in the obligate methanotroph Methylomonas sp. 16a.

  • Publication number: 20060187229
    Abstract: A method of rendering 3D graphics image using page based rendering technique includes the steps of: dividing a plurality of primitives having respective primitive ID into a plurality of pages having respective page ID; sorting the primitives for each of the pages, and storing the sorted primitives into a page RAM under a plurality of page nodes which correspond with the sorted page IDs; matching incoming page IDs of the incoming primitive IDs with the page IDs stored in the page RAM in such a manner that when the incoming page ID of the incoming primitive matches with the sorted page ID stored in the page RAM, the incoming primitive are stored at the corresponding page node in the page RAM under the corresponding page ID; and rendering the primitives stored in the page memory into pixels displayed on the display screen.

  • Publication number: 20060135809
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a catalyst or pre-catalyst suitable for assisting in the production of alkenyl alkanoates. The method includes contacting a modifier precursor to a support material to form a modified support material. One or more catalytic component precursors (palladium or gold) may be contacted to the modified support material. The atomic ratio of gold to palladium is preferably in the range of about 0.3 to about 0.90. The support materials with the catalytic component may then be reduced using a reducing environment. A composition for catalyzing the production of an alkenyl alkanoates including a modified support material with palladium and gold is also included within the invention. Catalysts of the present invention may be used to produce alkenyl alkanoates in general and vinyl acetate in particular and are useful to produce low EA/VA ratios while maintaining or improving CO2 selectivity.

  • Patent number: 7015511
    Abstract: For a light emitting device using gallium nitride (GaN), on a substrate are sequentially formed a GaN-based layer, an AlGaN-based layer, and a light emitting layer. To prevent cracks in the AGaN-based layer, the AlGaN-based layer is formed before planarization of the surface of the GaN layer on a surface of the GaN layer which is not planar. For a laser, the AlGaN-based layers serve as clad layers which sandwich the light emitting layer.
