Filed:

Jan 31, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/047444

Inventors:

Albert Asfour - Brighton MI, US
Michael Jendro - Johnston IA, US
Michael Kim - Marlton NJ, US
Richard Saile - Phoenixville PA, US

International Classification:

F16C033/74
F16C033/76

US Classification:

384147000

Abstract:

A seal assembly including an annular filament wound bearing having a first end and a second end and a large longitudinal central aperture, with the first and second ends having a counterbore formed in an interior wall surface of the bearing, the counterbores begin defined by an axially inner surface and a radially outer surface, and a seal disposed within each of the counterbores contacting at least one of said axially inner surface or said radially outer surface of the counterbore, the seal comprising a body portion and an radially inward extending sealing lip.

International Classification:

E05D 308

US Classification:

16366

Abstract:

An articulated door hinge attaching a vehicle door having an outer surface with a leading edge and an inner surface to a vehicle pillar having an outer surface and an inner surface, the door hinge including a pillar half linkage having a base rigidly attached to the pillar inner surface and a bearing surface projecting from the base supporting a pair of horizontally spaced rotary center shafts, a door half linkage having a base rigidly attached to the door inner surface and a bearing surface projecting from the base supporting a pair of horizontally spaced rotary center shafts, a forward link connecting corresponding longitudinally forward most rotary center shafts of the door half linkage to the pillar half linkage, and a rearward link connecting corresponding longitudinally rearward most rotary center shafts of the door half linkage to the pillar half linkage thereby creating an articulated door hinge, the articulated door hinge operable between a door closed position where the door outer surface leading edge is a predetermined distance from the pillar outer surface and a door open position where the door outer surface leading edge is moved laterally inward and longitudinally rearward of the pillar outer surface.

Appl. No.:

8/225277

Inventors:

Robert C. McCune - Southfield MI
Michael R. Kim - Marlton NJ
Ronald W. Smith - Blue Bell PA

Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

B23K 1000

US Classification:

21912147

Abstract:

A method for coating the internal cylinder bores of a cast aluminum engine block comprising the steps of casting an engine block of aluminum alloy, thermally spraying a wear-resistant coating onto cylinder walls in the engine block by melting the tip of a rotating iron-based alloy rod with a plasma torch within cylinders in the engine block, and honing the cylinder walls to a chosen size.

International Classification:

C12Q 1/6806
C12Q 1/6834
C12Q 1/6874

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods that employ the compositions for conducting pairwise sequencing and for generating concatemer template molecules for pairwise sequencing. The concatemers can be generated using a rolling circle amplification reaction which is conducted either on-support, or conducted in-solution and then distributed onto a support. The rolling circle amplification reaction generates concatemers containing tandem copies of a sequence of interest and at least one universal adaptor sequence. An increase in the number of tandem copies in a given concatemer increases the number of sites along the concatemer for hybridizing to multiple sequencing primers which serve as multiple initiation sites for polymerase-catalyzed sequencing reactions. When the sequencing reaction employs detectably labeled nucleotides and/or detectably labeled multivalent molecules (e.g., having nucleotide units), the signals emitted by the nucleotides or nucleotide units that participate in the parallel sequencing reactions along the concatemer yields an increased signal intensity for each concatemer.
