Monolithic reactors for environmental applications: A review on preparation technologies

A methodology and system for lysis or induction of apoptosis in cellulite and fat including directing ultrasonic energy at a multiplicity of target volumes within the region, which target volumes contain cellulite and fat, thereby to selectively lyse or induce apoptosis in the cellulite and fat in the target volumes and generally not lyse or not induce apoptosis in non-cellulite and non-fat tissue in the target volumes and computerized tracking of the multiplicity of target volumes notwithstanding movement of the body.

Devices and methodologies useful in body aesthetics

A methodology and system for lysing adipose tissue including directing ultrasonic energy at a multiplicity of target volumes within the region, which target volumes contain adipose tissue, thereby to selectively lyse the adipose tissue in the target volumes and generally not lyse non-adipose tissue in the target volumes and computerized tracking of the multiplicity of target volumes notwithstanding movement of the body.

Non-invasive ultrasonic body contouring

The present invention is directed to a diesel oxidation catalyst for the treatment of exhaust gas emissions, such as the oxidation of unburned hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO) and the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx). More particularly, the present invention is directed to a novel washcoat composition comprising two distinct washcoat layers containing two distinctly different ratios of Pt:Pd.

Pt-Pd Diesel Oxidation Catalyst with CO/HC Light-off and HC Storage Function

A multilayer circuit substrate for multi-chip modules or hybrid circuits includes a dielectric base substrate, conductors formed on the base substrate and a vacuum deposited dielectric thin film formed over the conductors and the base substrate. The vacuum deposited dielectric thin film is patterned using sacrificial structures formed by shadow mask techniques. Substrates formed in this manner enable significant increases in interconnect density and significant reduction of over-all substrate thickness.

High reliability multilayer circuit substrates and methods for their formation

Catalysts made by the Raney process (e.g., Raney process nickel) pelletized in matrix of polymer and plasticizer are activated by either (a) removal of plasticizer (e.g., by solvent extraction) followed by leaching out Al with caustic solution, leaving an active catalyst made by the Raney process in a polymer matrix; or (b) removal of plasticizer, then calcining to remove polymer, followed by leaching with caustic. The activated catalyst pellets have sufficient strength and attrition resistance for efficient use in fixed beds and packed columns for superior hydrogenation of toluene, heptene, butyraldehyde, and other conventional feedstockers used with catalysts made by the Raney process.

Shaped catalysts and processes

Shaped catalyst and process for making it

Porous ceramic greenware comprising finely divided ceramic filler, finely divided metal, and polyolefin controls shrinkage in fired shape. In a preferred embodiment the metal and ceramic filler are bound together with the clean burning polyolefin and a plasticizer. After molding the mixture into the final shape, the plasticizer is removed to introduce porosity into the shaped article. Next the article is heated to decompose the polyolefin which can exit as a gas through the pore openings. Finally, the article is fired to a high temperature to oxidize the metal to metal oxide which becomes sintered with the ceramic filler particles to form a sintered porous article where the oxidized metal bonds the filler particles together in the desired shape.

Ceramic product and process

A highly versatile and efficient catalytic converter for internal combustion engine exhaust which includes a porous ceramic monolithic support provided with through holes substantially uniformly throughout a first portion for passing the exhaust in contact with catalyst metal values deposited on walls defining the holes. The support is provided with a second portion wherein similar holes are free of deposited catalyst and adapted to prevent passage of the exhaust. Also disclosed are an installation assembly including the converter and a process for preparing the converter.

Process for preparing an auto exhaust catalytic converter

A dense multilayer aluminium nitride electronic substrate is described which comprises a dense multilayer aluminium nitride ceramic, internal metal circuitry on an aluminium nitride layer and metal-containing vias connecting the internal metal circuitry to the surface of the aluminium nitride ceramic.
