  • Publication number: 20160348086
    Abstract: Genetically engineered cells and methods are presented that allow for the production of various value products from CO2. Contemplated cells have a CBB cycle that is genetically modified such that two molecules of CO2 fixed in the CBB cycle can be withdrawn from the modified CBB cycle as a single C2 compound. In contemplated aspects a CBB cycle includes an enzymatic activity that generates the single C2 compound from a compound of the CBB cycle, while further modifications to the CBB cycle will not introduce additional recombinant enzymatic activity/activities outside the already existing catalytic activities in the CBB cycle.

  • Publication number: 20150225750
    Abstract: Methods and systems for the production of alcohols are described. A two stage process is utilized, where fermentation in a first stage produces an intermediate product, such as an amino acid or organic acid, from a carbon containing feedstock. A second stage produces alcohol by fermentation of this intermediate product.

  • Patent number: 8809248
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of cleaning an engine having at least one combustion chamber, and the method includes the steps of providing an engine cleaning composition and introducing the cleaning composition into the combustion chamber. The engine cleaning composition includes: (i) 10-100 wt % of an alkanol amine hydroxy carboxylate represented by formula (I): RCHOHCOONHa+1((CH2)nOH)b (I), wherein n is an integer in the range of 1 to 10; a is 0, 1 or 2; b is 1, 2 or 3; such that a+b=3; R represents hydrogen atom or alkyl; (ii) 0-90 wt % of a surfactant; (iii) 0-90 wt % of a solvent; and (iv) 0-90 wt % of water. The present invention also provides an engine cleaning composition to remove carbon deposit from engines.

  • Patent number: 8426491
    Abstract: Dental compositions comprising a polymerizable compound, filler system of nanometer-sized silica particles, and polymerization system capable of being activated by light are provided. The compositions further contain a solvent such as a mixture of 1-butanol and acetone and may contain water. The nanometer-sized silica particles, having an average particle size of about 1 nm to about 100 nm, are uniformly dispersed within the resin. The compositions can be applied as a polish, sealant, bleach guard, or other coating material to the surfaces of dental restorations and teeth. Self-etching and non-self-etching compositions are provided. The cured coating forms a protective, durable film that enhances the shine and luster of the restorations and teeth.

  • Patent number: 7927711
    Abstract: This invention relates to a durable layer for in-mold decoration. The durable layer is formed from a composition comprising (i) a thermally crosslinkable and photochemically or radically graftable polymer, (ii) a non-ethylenical thermal crosslinker, and (iii) a radiation curable multifunctional monomer or oligomer. The durable layer of the present invention has excellent surface quality with a wider geometric tolerance and can be formed at low cost.

  • Publication number: 20110076641
    Abstract: A two-unit system for finishing and polishing a target surface such as a dental restoration or appliance. A two-unit system and the method of employing such a system may include a finishing unit that combines gross reduction and final contouring capabilities into the single finishing unit that still results in leaving a smooth surface finish. A separate polishing unit may also be provided that combines contacting the target surface to polish and to achieve high gloss luster into the single unit.
