Patent number: 9873617Abstract: A method for producing a sulphided copper sorbent includes the steps of: (i) contacting a sorbent precursor material containing one or more sulphidable copper compounds, with a sulphiding gas stream including hydrogen sulphide to form a sulphided sulphur-containing sorbent material, and (ii) subjecting the sulphided sulphur-containing sorbent material to a heating step in which it is heated to a temperature above that used in the sulphiding step and ?110° C., under an inert gas selected from nitrogen, argon, helium, carbon dioxide, methane, and mixtures thereof, the inert gas optionally including hydrogen sulphide. The method provides sulphided copper sorbents that have reduced levels of elemental sulphur.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2013Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: JOHNSON MATTHEY PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANYInventors: Matthew John Cousins, David Davis, Paul Rafferty, Sarah Ridley, Alan Gordon Tapster

Patent number: 7863444Abstract: Chemical compounds having structural formula I and physiologically acceptable salts thereof, are inhibitors of serine/threonine and tyrosine kinase activity. Several of the kinases whose activity is inhibited by these compounds are involved in immunologic, hyperproliferative or angiogenic processes. Thus, these compounds can ameliorate disase states where angiogenesis or endothelial cell hyperproliferaton is a factor. These compounds can be used to treat cancer, hyperproliferative disorders, rheumatoid artheritis, disorders of the immune system, transplant rejection, and inflammatory disorders.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1999Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: David Calderwood, Lee Arnold, Hormoz Mazdiyasni, Gavin C.
