  • Patent number: 8030265
    Abstract: A composition and for removing mineral deposits and method of making the composition is provided which includes water, a fine abrasive, a plurality of petroleum distillate products, at least one polyalcohol, at least one fatty acid, at least one non-ionic surfactant and at least one semipolar solvent. Water is present at about 20-50 wt %, abrasive particles at about 10-35 wt %, petroleum distillates at about 10-35 wt %, polyalcohol at about 0.5-5 wt %, fatty acid at about 0.5-5 wt %, non-ionic surfactant at about 1-3 wt %, and semipolar solvent at about 0.1-1 wt %. A method of removing mineral deposits from a hard surface such as glass is provided which includes applying the aforesaid composition to a hard surface and removing the composition from the surface to remove mineral deposits from the surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070220629
    Abstract: The invention provides methods of identifying herbicidal auxins. The invention further provides auxin-herbicide-resistant plants and genes conferring auxin-herbicide resistance. This invention also provides a method of identifying other proteins that bind picolinate auxins from additional plant species. The invention further provides a method to identify the molecular binding site for picolinate auxins. The invention also includes the use of the picolinate herbicidal auxin target site proteins, and methods of discovering new compounds with herbicidal or plant growth regulatory activity. The invention also includes methods for producing plants that are resistant to picolinate herbicidal auxins. Specific examples of novel proteins associated with herbicide binding include AFB5, AFB4, and SGT1b.

  • Patent number: 6819965
    Abstract: The present invention involves a method and system for manufacturing documentation for standardizing product manufacturing in an enterprise. The system creates data records representing work instructions, stores the data records in a database and enables the system's users to search the database for specific data records to view, edit, re-use or copy. The data records include process design data having both a fixed (bit-mapped) graphical component and a modifiable (object-oriented) graphical component, and the system enables one group of users to view the fixed graphical component and another group of users to both view and/or modify the modifiable graphical component. In order to maintain control over edits made to data records, the system maintains a log of additions, changes or deletions made to the data records.

  • Patent number: 3962045
    Abstract: A pyrolysing vessel in which the inlets and outlets for the charge and the pyrolysing gas are so arranged that charge and gas pass through the vessel along paths that meet substantially at right angles. The charge may descend vertically, and the vessel may taper outwardly and downwardly to aid this descent. The gas may enter and leave the vessel through grilles that can be oscillated to further aid the descent. Pyrolysing plant including the vessel may include means to take a fraction of the gas at the outlet and recycle it through a heater to the gas inlet.
