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 ...

Methods and pharmaceutical combinations for inhibiting estrogen-dependent tumors via the co-administration of antiestrogen triphenylethylenes, including tamoxifen, and alkyl PCDFs.

An electrochemical fuel cell contains first and second monolithic electrically conducting flow field-bipolar plate assemblies arranged essentially parallel to each other such that an inside surface of the first bipolar ...

In a system for transmitting intensity modulated light waves (20) over an optical fiber (18), an optical data transmission apparatus (10) includes a cw laser (12) conformed to emit light at substantially a single frequency. ...
