InactiveUS20090182146A1Easily scalableSubstantial enrichment of the cis-isomerOrganic chemistryOrganic solventMedicinal chemistry
An industrially acceptable process for the preparation and purification of cis-2-methylspiro(1,3-oxathiolane-5,3′)quiniclidine from a cisitrans mixture of isomers. Treatment of the mixture with an organic sulfonice acid generates a less soluble acid addition salt that is enriched in the cis-isomer. Recrystallization or pulping using various organic solvents allows for enrichment of the cis-isomer by filtration. These new sulfonic acid salts of the cis-isomer of 2-methylspiro(1,3-oxathiolane-5,3′)quiniclidine prepared according to the present invention could be further converted into the hydrochloride salt by any known procedures such as treatment with a base and then hydrochloric acid salt formation or exchange of the sulfonic acid salt with hydrochloric acid.

A deoxygenator includes a plurality of permeable membranes spirally wound about an exhaust tube for removing dissolved oxygen from a hydrocarbon fuel. The permeable membrane is spirally wrapped about the exhaust tube and defines fuel passages and exhaust passages. The fuel passages and exhaust passages alternate such that each fuel passage is bounded on each adjacent side by an exhaust passage. An oxygen partial pressure differential is generated across the permeable membrane to draw dissolved oxygen from fuel in the fuel passage. The dissolved oxygen is then communicated through openings about the circumference of the exhaust tube and out the deoxygenator.

Low-density interconnected metal foams and methods of manufacture
InactiveUS20180311737A1Easily scalableCost-effectiveTransportation and packagingMetal-working apparatusSurface finishingAluminium oxide
Ultralow density pure metal foams, with density approaching 0.1% of the bulk density, and synthesis methods using interconnected metallic nanowires are provided. Nanowires of various sizes and metals are synthesized by electrodeposition into nanoporous templates such as anodized aluminum oxide or polycarbonate. The templates are etched away and the nanowires are dispersed into water through a suitable fluid exchange. Surface treatments ensure that nanowires remain sufficiently metallic and physically separated. Wire-water solutions can be dropped directly into liquid nitrogen in the form of droplets or placed into molds of various shapes. A freeze drying technique is employed to turn the resulting ice-wire mixture into a freestanding, low-density foam composed of interlocked nanowires. Finally, sintering or oxidation and reduction treatment of the foam material at elevated temperatures is used to connect the nanowires into an interconnected metallic foam, greatly improving the strength of the structure.
