Abstract:
A reactor for conducting a process using supercritical water to upgrade a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock into an upgraded hydrocarbon product or syncrude with highly desirable properties (low sulfur content, low metals content, lower density (higher API), lower viscosity, lower residuum content, etc.) is described. The reactor is operable under continuous) semi-continuous or batch mode and is equipped with means to enable momentum, heat and mass transfer in and out of and within the reactor.
Abstract:
An acoustic-magneto (AM) anti-theft marker is formed with the bias piece made from a soft magnetic material, instead of a “semi-hard” magnetic material that has been used in conventional anti-theft AM security markers. The method of manufacturing such soft magnetic bias pieces includes cold deforming a soft magnetic material with at least an eighty percent reduction rate, while keeping its DC coercivity below 12.5 Oe. The strip or wire of soft magnetic material is then cut to size as required for the bias piece. The anti-theft AM security marker has the soft magnetic bias piece placed inside or outside of the resonating cavity of the housing for the security tag with the resonator pieces inside the resonating cavity with a cover film placed over the housing. The soft magnetic bias piece or pieces effectively operate close to resonator piece or pieces with or without a non-magnetic separating film.

Abstract:
Methods of manufacturing transistor gate electrodes including, in one embodiment, forming a metal layer over first and second regions of a substrate, wherein the first and second regions have different first and second dopant types, respectively. A semiconductor layer is formed over at least a portion of the second region. The metal layer is heated to form a metal gate electrode over the first region, and the metal layer and the semiconductor layer are collectively heated to form a composite metal gate electrode over the second region.
Abstract:
A polymer assisted solution process for deposition of semiconductive thin films is presented. The process can be organic solvent-free. The process includes solutions of necessary metal precursors and soluble polymers. After a coating operation, the resultant coating is fired at high temperatures to yield optical quality metal oxide thin films that can be converted to semiconductive thin films.
Abstract:
A method for providing a hole into a valve component having an internal cavity (55), said method comprising the steps of filling and sealing a fluid (59) within said cavity; and laser drilling the hole through the component into the internal cavity. Said method is particularly advantageous for providing a side port into a valve stem (54). The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a valve stem, said method comprising the steps of: a) providing a valve stem work-piece having a passageway with an outlet (57); b) filling the passageway with a fluid; c) sealing the outlet; d) laser drilling a side port through the work-piece into the passageway; and e) unsealing the outlet.
Abstract:
In accordance with the invention, a light emitting diode package assembly is provided to emulate the pattern of light produced by an incandescent filament bulb. The package assembly is composed of a substrate for LEDs comprising a heat-sinking base having a pair of opposing major surfaces. Each major surface has an overlying of thermally conducting ceramic and an outer surface layer of light reflective material. Disposed on each surface layer is a plurality of LEDs. Advantageously, the LEDs are arranged on the surface in a configuration of low mutual obstruction. Advantageously, reflecting elements transverse to each surface layer are positioned and shaped to reflect a substantial portion of the light emitted from the LEDs that would otherwise enter neighboring LEDs. In a preferred embodiment, the LEDs are arranged in the general form of a closed curve, and a transverse reflector is disposed in the interior of the curve. Alternatively, the LEDs can be arranged in a linear array. The assembly can be efficiently fabricated by back-to-back assembly of two similar subassemblies.
