Patent number: 11897785Abstract: A method for preparing an aqueous dispersion of metal oxide particles is disclosed. The method comprises the step of performing phase transfer of a plurality of metal oxide particles capped with hydrophobic ligands on a surface there of by contacting the metal oxide particles with a combination of tertiary amine and water to form a biphasic mixture, and agitating said biphasic mixture to produce an aqueous dispersion of metal oxide particles capped with hydrophobic ligands and tertiary amine ligands on the surface thereof.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Royal Melbourne Institute of TechnologyInventors: Vipul Bansal, Mandeep Singh, Rajesh Ramanathan, Amanda Anderson

Patent number: 11267723Abstract: A method of purifying a plurality of metal oxide particles produced from a synthesis process comprising the step of washing a plurality of metal oxide particles in a first solvent composition comprising of at least one aliphatic ether, and at least one flocculant. In one embodiment, the plurality of metal oxide particles are iron oxide particles produced from a thermal decomposition synthesis process between an iron-oleate complex and oleic acid in 1-octadecene, wherein the first solvent composition comprises a 1:1 (vol/vol) ratio of an aliphatic ether in the form of diethyl ether and a flocculant in the form of methanol. The washed iron oxide particles are further washed in a second solvent composition comprising a 1:1 (vol/vol) ratio of hexane and ethanol, and then finally dispersed in hexane. The resulting iron oxide particles find use as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or as magnetic particles in magnetic separation, magnetism-directed targeting or magnetism-induced heating.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2017Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: Royal Melbourne Institute of TechnologyInventors: Amanda Anderson, Vipul Bansal, Jos Laurie Campbell, Rajesh Ramanathan, Jyoti Arora, Ravi Shukla

Patent number: 9401089Abstract: A method and system for assessing road conditions is provided. The method includes determining a road hazard condition for a road segment that may include a precipitation type, a pavement condition, and a visibility level. The precipitation type may be determined using radar data, satellite cloud classification data, weather station air temperature data, wiper status, mobile air data, speed ratio, or headlight status. The pavement condition may be determined using pavement temperature, precipitation type, automatic brake system status, traction status or a stability control observation, and a yaw rate. The visibility level may be determined using wind speed, relative humidity, percentage of fog lights on, percentage of high beams on, speed ratio, station visibility, station-reported visibility type, wildfire existence, wind direction, a dust existence indicator.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2014Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: University Corporation for Atmospheric ResearchInventors: Sheldon Drobot, Michael Chapman, Amanda Anderson, Gerry Wiener, Seth Linden, Crystal Burghardt
