Granted: 1983-03-10
Abstract: A method of making a refractory material, such as for furnace use, from refractory fibres and a polymeric binder which burns or otherwise degrades to allow the fibres to expand from a pre-compressed state, comprises the steps of preparing a highly dispersed aqueous suspension of the fibres, adding 2-10% by weight of the binder in aqueous suspension, adding a coagulent for the binder, forming a compressed felt body by extraction of the water, such as by suction-forming, and drying the felt body whilst maintaining its compressed state.

Title: Selective production of ethylene and propylene
Inventor: KOLTS JOHN HENRY
IPC: C30B29/32
Filed: 1986-07-17
Granted: 1987-12-17
Abstract: Feed hydrocarbons comprising propane and butanes are cracked to selectively maximize the production of ethylene or propylene by contacting the feed hydrocarbons with a cracking catalyst, adapted to convert the feed hydrocarbons to less saturated hydrocarbons, under conditions sufficient to thus crack the feed hydrocarbons, to thereby selectively maximize the production of ethylene, and, at least intervally, hydrogen sulfide or a hydrogen sulfide precursor is added to the feed hydrocarbons to thereby maximize the production of propylene. Preferred catalysts which may be utilized in the process and which are highly selective to the production of ethylene, as opposed to propylene, (in the absence of hydrogen sulfide or hydrogen sulfide precursor) include mixed oxides of manganese and magnesium, mixed oxides of manganese and Lanthanum Series metals and/or niobium, mixed oxides of iron and magnesium and mixed oxides of iron and Lanthanum Series metal and/or niobium. The effective life of the catalyst, particularly for the selective production of ethylene, is increased by carrying out the process in the presence of steam. When the catalyst contains manganese, the steam is optional whereas, when the catalyst contains iron, the steam is essential. The life of the magnesium based catalysts as well as their selectivity, particularly to ethylene, can also be extended by adding small promoting amounts of oxides of calcium, strontium, barium, tin, antimony, silicone, aluminum, titanium and/or chromium. All of the above promoters are useful in the iron/magnesium catalysts except the calcium, strontium, barium, tin and antimony. Only chromium is useful as a promoter for the Lanthanum Series and niobium based catalysts.

Title: Method of determining endothelial cell coverage of a prosthetic surface
Inventor: WILLIAMS STUART K
IPC: C12Q/
Filed: 1987-11-04
Granted: 1991-09-19
Abstract: Determination of the effectiveness of endothelial cell seeding upon a vascular graft surface within the operating room environment would be desirable to maintain quality control in any clinical trial. In this study, five fluorescent stains, mithramycin, Hoechst 33342, sulfofluorescein diacetate, Nile red, and rhodamine 123 were evaluated for their ability to fluorescently label endothelial cells on graft material and subsequently allow determination of seeded cell number and cell spreading. Of these agents, rhodamine 123 produced the most desirable characteristics. It allowed excellent cell visualization after a 30 minute incubation. Unlike the other four stains, using rhodamine 123 caused the cellular cytoplasm to fluoresce bright orange at a 510 nm excitation wavelength while the underlying dacron or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene demonstrated minimal autofluorescence. No inhibitory effect on cell attachment to plastic or subsequent cell growth in culture was observed. This technique can be utilized in the operating room to visualize part or all of an endothelial cell-seeded graft and to permit a quantitative as well as qualitative evaluation of the seeding process.
