Abstract: On décrit des compositions multicouches présentant une pluralité de complexes métalliques à piliers, disposés sur un substrat (2) de support, les piliers comportant des fractions (12) acceptrices d'électrons divalents et présentant un phosphonate ou un arsenate (14) à chaque extrémité. Chaque couche de piliers parallèles est séparée par une couche d'un métal d'un des groupes (IVA), (IVB), (IIIA) ou (IIIB), ou d'un lanthanide (18). Ces compositions peuvent en outre comprendre des particules d'au moins un métal du groupe VIII, de valence zéro, enfermé dans chaque couche du complexe (16). Les complexes peuvent également comprendre des 'stalactites' et des 'stalagmites' de ligands arsonato ou phosphonato protégés, intercalés avec les piliers, constituant une série d'interstices autour de chaque groupe accepteur d'électrons. Le substrat de support peut être composé d'une matrice polymère organique. Ces complexes sont utiles pour la conversion et le stockage de l'énergie solaire, pour la production de courants photoélectriques, et en tant que catalyseur destiné à des réactions de réduction, par exemple la production de peroxyde d'hydrogène à partir de gaz d'oxygène et d'hydrogène, la production de gaz H2 à partir d'eau, et la réduction de cétones pour former des alcools.

Abstract: An energy saving controller system providing, from one power source, one of a plurality of different voltages to a load of electrical energy consuming devices, without power interruption to the load during transition time. The system includes a power switching circuit, a current sensing circuit and a control circuit. The power switching circuit produces, at its output port, one of the different voltages in response to receipt of a control signal of regulated magnitude. The current sensing circuit measures the power switching circuit output current and produces a measured current signal. The control circuit senses an increase in the measured current signal, which indicates an increase in current demand by the load, and outputs a control signal of regulated magnitude to the power switching circuit, initiating the voltage switching.

Abstract: A transformation protocol is described for the particle mediated transformation of soybean. This protocol is based on gene delivery into the growing meristem of a soybean embryo. Prior transformation protocols based on meristematic gene delivery in soybean did not depend on selection due to difficulties in using selection agents in differentiated tissue in soybean. It has been found that a post bombardment culture with glyphosate selection can dramatically increase the efficiency of such a transformation protocol.
