  • System and Device for Magnetic Drug Targeting with Magnetic Drug Carrier Particles
    Publication number: 20070231393
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of positioning a magnetic drug carrier particle within the body of a subject comprising placing an article within the body of the subject or external to the body of a subject; inserting a magnetic drug carrier particle into the body of the subject, and applying an external magnetic field to the article, thereby causing the magnetic drug carrier particle to be attracted to the article. Also disclosed are articles, systems, and kits that can be used in the disclosed methods.

  • Hydrogen storage material and process using graphite additive with metal-doped complex hydrides
    Publication number: 20050032641
    Abstract: A hydrogen storage material having improved hydrogen absorbtion and desorption kinetics is provided by adding graphite to a complex hydride such as a metal-doped alanate, i.e., NaAlH4. The incorporation of graphite into the complex hydride significantly enhances the rate of hydrogen absorbtion and desorption and lowers the desorption temperature needed to release stored hydrogen.
