  • Neutron detection by neutron capture-initiated relaxation of a ferroelectrically, ferromagnetically, and/or chemically metastable material
    Patent number: 8354641
    Abstract: A system for detecting radiation using an array of cells containing a metastable material together with sensing apparatus and display apparatus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 17, 2012
    Date of Patent: January 15, 2013
    Assignee: Alliant Techsystems Inc.
    Inventor: Ivan M. Lorkovic
  • Hydrocarbon synthesis
    Patent number: 8278493
    Abstract: A method of synthesizing hydrocarbons from smaller hydrocarbons includes the steps of hydrocarbon halogenation, simultaneous oligomerization and hydrogen halide neutralization, and product recovery, with a metal-oxygen cataloreactant used to facilitate carbon-carbon coupling. Treatment with air or oxygen liberates halogen and regenerates the cataloreactant.

  • Integrated process for synthesizing alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, and olefins from alkanes
    Patent number: 6713655
    Abstract: Alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, and olefins are manufactured from alkanes by mixing an alkane and a halogen selected from the group including chlorine, bromine, and iodine in a reactor to form alkyl halide and hydrogen halide. The alkyl halide only or the alkyl halide and the hydrogen halide are directed into contact with metal oxide to form an alcohol and/or an ether, or an olefin and metal halide. The metal halide is oxidized to form original metal oxide and halogen, both of which are recycled.
