Collapse Resistant Frame Structure With Auto Adaptive Response Characteristics UM File # 1893 Background: To reduce collapse and catastrophic failures collapse-resistant building or bridge structures typically include interconnected columns and beams that are formed of steel or steel-reinforced concrete. Because steel/reinforcing steel may be characterized as exhibiting \"elastic/plastic\"" behavior the columns and beams of such known frame systems may likewise be expected to exhibit \""elastic/plastic\"" behavior.

They manufacture an ALL PLASTIC solar collector. Collectors are produced by its unique patented Over-Molding Injection Technology resulting in seamless leak-proof integrally molded thermoplastic units that heat large bodies of water by sun radiation at low and medium temperatures. Solar Thermal Energy applications for massive industrial installations and sanitary hot water supply.

Technology Description:Researchers at the University of California Davis have produced small esters (C4-C8) through the manipulation of microorganisms. A genetically modified microorganism was used to produce C4-C8 esters. These esters are used in nitrocellulose lacquers coatings for plastic substrates high solids coatings artificial flavouring and fragrance. Compared to the current ester production methods which heavily depend on petroleum this invention allows for environmentally friendly and sustainable production from a renewable source.

This invention involves applications of the released energy from the self propagation of combustion of nanosynthesized thermites. One area of application is in the semiconductor industry for example in the crystallization of amorphous materials such as amorphous silicon thin film doping of various semiconductor materials and the formation of exotic alloys. Nano synthesized thermites also called MIC produces a shock wave and localized heat which can be used to enhance the process of crystallization.

Summary: More and more chemicals of various origins are being discharged into our local water streams ending up at waste and water treatment facilities. These chemicals comprising of pharmaceuticals personal care products and other various industrial chemicals are currently not removed by typical wastewater treatment practices. Further current regulations from the Food and Drug Administration do not require testing or removing these chemicals even as their amounts aggregate in our drinking water.

Functionalized substrates have commercial applications ranging from biosensors to energy conversion devices such as solar cells. Biosensors rapidly detect the presence of target biomolecules based on known interactions between the analytes and other biomolecules immobilized on a substrate. However existing technologies for immobilizing biomolecules are limited by poor repeatability and instability resulting in increased manufacturing costs and short shelf life. Oxide materials particularly TiO2 often are used in energy conversion devices.

The limitation is that most plastics cannot be recycled or reused to form the same object due to degradation of chemical structure. The need is for novel technologies that would enable plastics to be recycled or reused over and over again to reform the same object or objects of similar composition without losing its chemical properties (i.e. becoming weaker) e.g. the plastic material used for a cellphone casing can be reformed into another cellphone casing rather than turned into a plastic bag.

Background: Succinate is presently manufactured in an expensive process from petrochemicals. Though researchers have previously managed to produce succinate using metabolic pathways none of these methods have approached the product yield of nonrenewable sources. As a result petroleum-based production methods – dependent upon fluctuations in oil prices - have dominated the market. Technology Description: This invention is a process that reconstructs the metabolic pathways of a modified E. coli strain to increase production yields of succinate.

The primary synthesis product is methanol an alcohol with chemical and physical properties that are nearly identical to ethanol. The means to synthesize carbon-neutral fuels is designed to be self-contained easily transportable and may be operated at existing sites that emit carbon dioxide (e.g. fermentation plants) and/or sites with abundant (renewable) low cost electricity which may be used to disassociate water in order to obtain the requisite hydrogen. The plant consumes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or carbon dioxide destined to be emitted into the atmosphere (e.g.
