A coating composition and coating products made therefrom, containing modified inorganic nanoplatelets that form mesomorphic structure in a resin phase. The coating products exhibit low permeation/penetration properties, ...

A series hybrid electric-combustion system is provided which includes an engine (16) operable to generate mechanical energy and translate it to a drive shaft (21). A battery (24) is included that is operable to store ...

Disclosed is a joystick apparatus for effecting a plurality of variable voltage changes using one or more partial spheres concentrically mounted on the joystick shaft having longitudinally or latitudinally variable, ...

A novel energy absorbing module is described which is relatively inexpensive, easy to make and provides for a relatively consistent crush resistance along its length when impacted axially. The module is made up of a generally ...

A kit for monitoring mammalian reproductive cycles by monitoring variations in the quantity of one or more low molecular weight volatile compound having a molecular weight of less than 50 grams per mole present in a body ...

The focus of this paper is to introduce a novel method for calibrating natural gas flowmeters. This new method can accommodate very large flow rates and it avoids common problems associated with current techniques for meter ...

This invention describes a novel means of introducing foreign genes and/or viruses, wildtype or recombinant, into plant cells via a seed treatment method using recombinant or wildtype furoviruses and their natural fungal ...

A process for converting natural gas to a liquid includes heating the gas to a selected range of temperature to convert a fraction of the gas stream to reactive hydrocarbons, primarily acetylene, and reacting methane and ...

A differential flip-flop having reduced circuit complexity, clock loading, and power consumption. The circuit is particularly well adapted for systems requiring high-speed differential flip-flops. The proposed flip-flop ...

A method for forming SbSI thin films is formed. In the first step of the method, a substrate (14) is provided. Next a buffer layer (16) is formed on the substrate (14). Then, a SbSI source (12) is provided. The SbSI source ...
