Energy absorbant module
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2000-07-04)
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 ...
Method and kit for monitoring mammalian reproductive cycles
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2000-03-21)
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 ...
Method and apparatus for in situ calibration of gas flowmeters
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2000-05-02)
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 ...
Method for converting natural gas to liquid hydrocarbons
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2000-10-10)
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 ...
Pseudo-dynamic differential flip-flop
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2000-10-31)
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 ...
Method for forming SbSI thin films
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2000-11-28)
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 ...
