Electric Energy Systems Theory: An Introduction

Abstract: This text is intended for undergraduate seniors or first-year graduate students in the power systems field. In this second edition the introductory chapters have been strengthened to improve appeal to students, and new problems and material has been added on system protection.

Platinum complexes of unsaturated siloxanes and platinum containing organopolysiloxanes

Abstract: PLATINUM COMPLEXES OF UNSATURATED SILOXANES ARE PROVIDED WHICH ARE USEFUL AS HYDROSILATION CATALYSTS. THESE PLATINUM-SILOXANE COMPLEXES MUST CONTAIN LESS THAN ABOUT 0.1 GRAM ATOM OF HALOGEN, PER GRAM ATOM OF PLATINUM, AND PREFERABLY SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF HALOGEN WHICH INCLUDE PLATINUM-SILOXANE COMPLEXES WHICH ARE SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF INORGANIC HALOGEN. THESE PLATINUM-SILOXANE COMPLEXES CAN BE MADE BY EFFECTING CONTACT BETWEEN A PLATINUM HALIDE AND AN UNSATURATED SILOXANE, FOR EXAMPLE, 1,3-DIVINYLTETRAMETHYLDISILOXANE, AND REMOVING AVAILABLE INORGANIC HALOGEN FROM THE RESULTING MATERIAL. IN ADDITION, CURABLE ORGANOPOLYSILOXANE COMPOSITIONS ARE PROVIDED COMPRISING AN ORGANOPOLYSILOXANE POLYMER AND AN EFFECTIVE AMOUNT OF SUCH PLATINUM-SILOXANE COMPLEX.

Man-Made Diamonds

Abstract: Claims of the conversion of carbon to diamond date back to 1880, but it was not until 1955 that the first reproducible synthesis was reported. Bundy et al. describe the high-pressure, high-temperature apparatus that enabled them to reach the stability field of diamond, and prove that the material obtained was indeed diamond. Ironically, some of the same authors discovered 38 years later that the very first diamond grown by their technique was not synthetic after all, but a fragment of a natural diamond that got into the experiment. Fortunately, however, the technique was sound, and marked the beginning of the present synthetic-diamond industry.
