Title: An improved process for the preparation of magnesia (MGO)
Inventor: LABHSHANKER JOSHI HIMANSHU
IPC: C01F5/08
Filed: 2006-03-23
Granted: 2011-11-24
Abstract: The present invention provides an improved process for the preparation of MgO of high purity >99% from salt bitterns via intermediate formation of Mg(OH)obtained from the reaction of MgCl and lime, albeit indirectly, i.e., MgCl is first reacted with NH in aqueous medium and the slurry is then filtered with ease. The resultant NHC-containing filtrate is then treated with any lime, to regenerate NH while the lime itself gets transformed into CaCl that is used for desulphatation of bittern so as to recover carnallite and thereafter MgCl of desired quality required in the present invention. The crude Mg(OH) is dried and calcined directly to produce pure MgO, taking advantage of the fact that adhering impurities in the Mg(OH) either volatilize away or get transformed into the desired product, i.e., MgO.

Title: Generating a transition system for use with model checking
Inventor: HUUCK RALF
IPC: G06F9/00
Filed: 2007-09-12
Granted: 2013-09-12
Abstract: The invention concerns model program analysis of software code using model checking. Initially, a transition system (22) and an extensible markup language (XML) (24) representation of the data is generated. Next, labels (26) for the transition system are generated by querying the XML representation of the data using (markup) query language. The labels and the structure of the transition system are then used as input to model checking techniques to analyse the software code (28). It is an advantage of the invention that the problem of labelling a transition system can be transformed into the XML domain so that detailed information about the software code can be extracted using queries in a format that can be run in the XML domain which are well known. At the same time the transformation to the XML domain does not prevent the use of efficient model checking technologies.

Abstract: A process (10) for at least partially removing hydrogen cyanide from synthesis gas includes feeding a synthesis gas (30) containing hydrogen cyanide to a gas-liquid contacting stage (18) and, in the gas-liquid contacting stage (18), contacting the synthesis gas with an aqueous washing solution (36) comprising at least one dissolved metal salt, with metal cations of the metal salt being capable of forming metal cyanide complexes and/or metal cyanide precipitates, and weak acid anions of the metal salt serving to buffer the pH of the washing solution in a range between 6 and 10. Hydrogen cyanide is washed from the synthesis gas by the washing solution to form a treated synthesis gas (38) and a spent washing solution (40). From time to time or continuously, at least a portion of the spent washing solution is withdrawn from the gas- liquid contacting stage. The treated synthesis gas (38) is also withdrawn from the gas- liquid contacting stage.

Title: Reversible derivatization of poly (aryl ether ketones)
Inventor: COLQUHOUN HOWARD MATTHEW
IPC: C08J5/24
Filed: 2008-05-16
Granted: 2013-07-18
Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure present systems and methods for the reversible solubilization of (aryl ether ketones) (PAEKs). A thioacetalization process is employed to modify the PAEKs into poly (aryl ether thioacetals) which, unlike PAEKs, are substantially soluble in common solvents. This modification allowing selected analysis techniques to be more easily performed on PAEKs1 such as gel permeation chromatography. The thioacetalization may be reversed through a deprotection reaction to recover the original PAEK without substantial degradation, allowing for non-destructive characterization of the PAEK. Advantageously, the thioacetalization process is generally applicable to a broad range of PAEKs, unlike presently known methods of solubilizing PAEKs. Solubilization of PAEKs further expands the utility of the PAEKs, opening up additional routes to chemical modification of PAEKs, as well as allowing for the possibility of processing PAEKs from solution.
