Abstract: A wheel cover assembly includes a cover and a plurality of lug wells. The cover is manufactured from a first material that is capable of being decorated with paint and/or plating. The lug wells are fabricated from a second material. The second material is chosen for its high thermal resistive characteristics. The second material insulates the first material from the thermal energy generated by the wheel hub assembly and, in particular, the brake systems of the wheel hub assembly. Each of the lug wells includes a wall having an annular recess circumscribing the interior surface of the wall and an exterior ridge extending around the periphery of the wall. The annular recess and the exterior ridge prevent the first material from flowing therepast creating a barrier of the second material used to manufacture the lug wells to the lug nuts, the conductors of the thermal energy created by the brake systems. Protrusions and elongated holes aid in the bonding of the first material to the second material. Fins extend out from the cover providing further support to the bond therebetween making the wheel cover assembly a unitary structure.

Abstract: A method has been developed for control of molecular weight and molecular weight dispersity during production of polyhydroxyalkanoates in genetically engineered organism by control of the level and time of expression of one or more PHA synthases in the organisms. The method was demonstrated by constructing a synthetic operon for PHA production in E. coli in which the level of PHA synthase activity could be tightly controlled by placement of the synthase behind an inducible promoter. Modulation of the total level of PHA synthase activity in the host cell by varying the concentration of the inducer, isopropyl .beta.-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG), was found to effect the molecular weight of the polymer produced in the cell. Specifically, high concentrations of synthase activity were found to yield polymers of low molecular weight while low concentrations of synthase activity yielded polymers of higher molecular weight. Polymer molecular weight dispersity is also proportional to the amount of synthase activity, with less dispersity in polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions produced in expression systems with an initial burst of synthase activity, and higher levels of molecular weight dispersity in polyhydroxyalkanoate compositions produced in expression systems with the levels of synthase activity varied during synthesis of the polyhydroxyalkanoate.

Abstract translation: 已经开发了一种通过控制生物体内一种或多种PHA合成酶的表达水平和时间来控制在遗传工程生物体内聚羟基链烷酸酯生产过程中的分子量和分子量分散性的方法。 该方法通过在大肠杆菌中构建用于PHA生产的合成操纵子来证明，其中通过将合酶置于诱导型启动子后面可以严格控制PHA合酶活性的水平。 发现通过改变诱导剂异丙基β-D-硫代半乳糖苷（IPTG）的浓​​度来调节宿主细胞中PHA合成酶活性的总水平，从而影响细胞中产生的聚合物的分子量。 具体地说，发现高浓度的合成酶活性产生低分子量的聚合物，而低浓度的合酶活性则产生较高分子量的聚合物。 聚合物分子量分散度也与合成酶活性的量成比例，在具有合成酶活性的初始爆发的表达系统中产生的聚羟基链烷酸酯组合物的分散性较小，并且在表达系统中产生的聚羟基链烷酸酯组合物中分子量分散度的水平较高 合成酶活性在聚羟基链烷酸酯的合成过程中变化。

Abstract: A component lead cutting apparatus for tape-fed radial lead electrical components is disclosed. The taped components are driven through the machine by a rotary index wheel, with the cutting station element adjacent the wheel periphery. Clamping and cutting die elements are placed at the cutting station, and are actuated by a pneumatic cylinder to clamp and cut the lead components. The apparatus includes adjustment elements readily accessible from the top of the machine to raise or lower the index wheel and thereby adjust for different lead cut lengths, and to position the wheel to accommodate different tape sprocket opening configurations. The machine has a compact, narrow footprint, so that the machine is space-efficient.

Abstract: A method of making a wheel cover having a decorative outboard surface and an inboard surface for placement on a vehicle wheel includes the steps of forming a wheel cover substrate having a substrate contour providing the inboard substrate surface and with an outer substrate surface for bonding a skin thereto. The skin has a decoration applied to an inner skin surface for placement between the skin and the substrate. The skin has a decoration applied thereto. It is then cut to a desired shape complementing the substrate. It may, at that point, be deformed to also complement to contour of the substrate. The skin is bonded to the substrate by welding the materials to one another or by an adhesive. The method is particularly suitable for use with a center cap having protrusions extending from the inboard surface and having a protrusion thickness wherein the substrate is formed with a decreased substrate thickness less than two times the protrusion thickness so that any depressions which may occur in the outer substrate surface opposing the protrusions due to the decreased thickness are hidden or smoothed over by the skin applied thereto.

Abstract: Adhesive patterns are applied to one of an outboard side of a wheel and an inner surface of a decorative wheel cover and used to bond the decorative wheel cover to the wheel with a spaced therebetween that is partially filled with the cured adhesive. The decorative wheel cover and wheel each include aligned lug nut apertures and aligned decorative openings. The adhesive patterns are configured to allow ambient fluids to enter throughout the space between the decorative wheel cover and the wheel (and leave) which is not filled with the cured adhesive to prevent corrosion from occurring between the decorative wheel cover and wheel.

Abstract: Inserts that are configured to be placed in gaps provide between wheel covers and underlying wheel of wheel assemblies. The inserts are made from materials that are suitable rigid and strong so as to reinforce and protect the overlying portions of the wheel cover from impact damage such as denting in the case of metal wheel covers and cracking or breaking in the case of plastic wheel covers. The inserts further prevent otherwise hollow portions of the wheel assembly from sounding, feeling or seeming hollow.
