A biscotti manufacturing system for easily and efficiently producing biscotti cookies. The biscotti manufacturing system includes a baking pan having a base, a first wall, a second wall, a plurality of partitions between the walls, and a plurality of channels within for receiving the biscotti dough. The user prepares the desired amount of biscotti dough and then utilizing an applicator fills the channels of the baking pan with desired portions of the biscotti dough. The baking pan with the biscotti dough is then baked whereby the dough rises to fill the channels creating a crescent shaped structure. No pre-shaping of the dough is required. After the biscotti dough is fully cooked, the user then removes the biscotti cookies from the baking pan.

A non-linear shaped charge perforator for use in perforating an oil and gas formation into which a wellbore has been drilled comprises a monolithic, axisymmetric metal case in which is disposed a main explosive charge between the front of the case, which is closed with a concave metal liner, and the closed back end of the case. The main explosive charge contains multiple initiation points, preferably two initiation points located about 180° apart on the outside surface of the charge, so that when the perforator is detonated the main charge is initiated such that the metal liner is collapsed into a non-circular jet, preferably a fan-shaped jet, that pierces the casing of the wellbore and forms non-circular perforations, preferably slot-shaped perforations, in the surrounding formation.

A hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine coupled to a combined starter/motor/generator which is, in turn, coupled to a transmission of the vehicle. The starter/motor/generator is coupled to a high voltage battery pack via an inverter and to a deployable power output panel for serving loads external to the vehicle. Whenever external loads are to be powered, a control unit automatically places the vehicle in PARK, or alternatively activates an electrical parking brake system to hold the vehicle stationary.
摘要:
A filter and a method of using the filter for removing contaminants from LPG. The LPG enters the filter through an inlet and passes through a first filtration element where chemical contaminants are removed by a chemical entrapping agent, preferably a zeolite. Subsequently, the LPG passes through a second filtration element where particulate contaminants are removed. The invention is also a method of removing contaminants from LPG including the step of routing the flow of the LPG through chemical and particulate filter elements so that chemical and particulate contaminants are sequentially removed.

Compositions and methods are provided for producing adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) polypeptides and fusion proteins, including the production and use of recombinant expression constructs having a regulated promoter. ANT ligands and compositions and methods for identifying ANT ligands, agents that bind ANT and agents that interact with ANT are also disclosed.
摘要:
A gallium nitride layer is laterally grown into a trench in the gallium nitride layer, to thereby form a lateral gallium nitride semiconductor layer. At least one microelectronic device may then be formed in the lateral gallium nitride semiconductor layer. Dislocation defects do not significantly propagate laterally into the lateral gallium nitride semiconductor layer, so that the lateral gallium nitride semiconductor layer is relatively defect free.

摘要:
A method for fabricating elongate structural members from a unitary blank of crystalline material is provided. The blank has a predetermined length, width, and depth. A first substantially planar cut is made in the blank, the cut extending substantially along the entire length of the blank and substantially less than the entire width of the blank. At east one additional cut is made in the blank, the at least one additional cut extending in the same plane as the first cut, to cut the blank into two pieces. The step of making at least one additional cut can include making a plurality of additional cuts, in one embodiment at least three additional cuts. The cuts can be made using a rotary saw with a blade having diamond-coated cutting surfaces. The saw can be operated with the blade rotating at between 50 rpm and 50,000 rpm, preferably at approximately 4,000 rpm. The blank of crystalline material can be provided as a unitary blank of silicon material. The method of the present invention can be practiced using monocrystalline silicon material or polyaystalline silicon material. In an embodiment, the blank can be provided as a generally cylindrical blank. The step of making a first substantially planar cut and the step of making at least one additional cut can be repeated on each of the two pieces to make four pieces from the original cylinder, and subsequently repeated to yield eight pieces from the original cylinder, each of the eight pieces having a substantially wedge-shaped cross-section.
