Abstract: Elastomeric polyolefin-based ionomers and methods for making same. The ionomers can include a copolymer comprising: C2-C60 ?-olefin monomer units; optional C2-C60 ?-olefin comonomer units different than the monomer units; optional diene units; and about 0.1 wt % to about 20 wt % metal alkenyl units, based on the weight of the copolymer, wherein the metal alkenyl units have the formula —R(A?)—, wherein R is an alkyl group containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and A? is an anionic group. The copolymer can further include one or more metal cations derived from the group consisting of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, group 3-12 metals, group 13-16 metals, and combination(s) thereof. The ionomer has a glass transition temperature of ?60° C. to 5° C., and a weight average (Mw) of 50 to 5,000 kg/mol.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process for controlling syngas composition from an internal combustion engine-based syngas generator. While air is typically used as an oxidant, with nitrogen (N2) as a diluent, this results in expensive downstream compression, and low feedstock conversion efficiencies. This disclosure provides CO2 as a diluent to reduce N2 concentration in the syngas. In some embodiments, the CO2 diluent may be from either a biogas processing coupled with methanol, DME, and/or hydrocarbon production; or natural gas processing coupled with Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis and/or other hydrocarbon synthesis.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of making confined nanocatalysts within mesoporous materials (MPMs). The methods utilize solid state growth of nanocrystalline metal organic frameworks (MOFs) followed by controlled transformation to generate nanocatalysts in situ within the mesoporous material. The disclosure also provides applications of the nanocatalysts to a wide variety of fields including, but not limited to, liquid organic hydrogen carriers, synthetic liquid fuel preparation, and nitrogen fixation.

Abstract: The present technique serves Web pages that are mixed with dynamic data from an embedded system using object files to access the dynamic data. The technique constructs the object files in the embedded system in real-time separate from the Web pages. The technique then merges the dynamic data with the Web pages and displays the data-populated Web pages via a Web browser. The data/page merging process may be performed at either the server side or the client side.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to the field of remote server management. More particularly, the disclosed embodiments relate to providing secure communications in the context of remote server management. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a client computer uses an established encrypted communication channel to request secret data from a managed server. The managed server provides the requested secret data, which is used by both the managed server and the client computer to encrypt communications across a second communications link.

Abstract: An antibiotic formulation for animals is provided. This formulation includes florfenicol, a preservative and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The florfenicol and preservative are dissolved in the N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solvent. The formulation is suitable for veterinary applications in colder temperatures. More specifically, it is usable during winter months because it has a lower cold temperature viscosity than previous formulations resulting in it having superior syringeability.

Abstract: An antibiotic formulation in a true solution is provided. This formulation includes an antibiotic and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. It also may include a preservative, an antioxidant, and/or an additive. The antibiotic is a beta lactam, such as a penicillin, a cephalosporin, other beta lactams, or combinations thereof. The formulation is made by dissolving the antibiotic in the N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The antibiotic formulation is suitable for use at temperatures below about 0° C. and without agitation. Further, the antibiotic formulation in true solution can be made with non-sterile ingredients and can be filtered to remove impurities.

Abstract: An anesthetic is provided that includes a mixture of propofol, a tonicity agent, a substantially phospholipid-free emulsifying agent, a preservative such as benzyl alcohol, and water. This anesthetic is made by combining these components and then filtering the mixture of these components through a sterilizing filter. This anesthetic may be parenterally administered to both induce and maintain anesthesia in animals.
