  • Patent number: 9365490
    Abstract: A method for preparing 1-adamantyltrimethylammonium hydroxide is disclosed. The method comprises reacting 1-adamantyldimethylamine with dimethyl carbonate to produce 1-adamantyltrimethylammonium methylcarbonate, which is then reacted with calcium hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide in the presence of water to produce 1-adamantyltrimethylammonium hydroxide.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 14, 2016
    Assignee: Johnson Matthey PLC
    Inventors: Richard Charles Bryan, Ronald Henry Jones, Nigel Robinson

  • Patent number: 5673206
    Abstract: Digitized audio information is compressed by retrieving a first audio sample from a digitized audio signal and storing it in its entire, uncompressed, form. The next audio sample is then retrieved and a signed difference between the first audio sample value and the next audio sample value is computed. If this difference value can be represented in fewer data segments than would be required to represent the next audio sample, the difference value is stored, rather than the value of the next sample, otherwise the next sample is stored. The invention proceeds in this fashion until the entire PCM audio signal is compressed and stored. The compressed data stream is decompressed to generate an output data stream by retrieving a stored sample and examining it to ascertain whether it is a difference value or a flag which indicates that the following data represents a coded amplitude value.
