US Patent:

6945265, Sep 20, 2005

Filed:

Jun 5, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/454776

Inventors:

James Wynn - Virginia Beach VA, US
Jason T. Kilgore - Newport News VA, US
Markus Kopetzky - Neutraubling, DE

Assignee:

Siemens VDO Automotive Corporation - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

G05D016/02

US Classification:

137 12, 137508, 123459

Abstract:

A flow-through pressure regulator includes a retainer that secures a diaphragm relative to a seat, and includes an intermediate portion, an end portion and a base portion. The intermediate portion extends along a longitudinal axis and is fixed with respect to the seat. The end portion extends from the intermediate portion and includes a concave surface facing the seat. The regulator includes multiple flow diffusers such that the end portion includes at least one aperture having a flow axis that is oblique to the longitudinal axis so as to reduce noise due to fluid flow and/or the seat forms a passage having an increasing cross-sectional area from an inlet to an outlet.

US Classification:

435134, 4352571, 426601, 426648, 426417

Abstract:

Methods for production of highly unsaturated fatty acids by marine microorganisms, including the heterotrophic marine dinoflagellate , using low levels of chloride ion are disclosed. Specifically, methods of increasing production of highly unsaturated fatty acids by marine microorganisms while growing in low chloride media by manipulating sodium ion and potassium ion levels. The invention also relates to methods of production of highly unsaturated fatty acids by marine organisms at low pH levels, and includes methods for generation of low pH tolerant strains.
