Publication number: 20240182666Abstract: A method is described for the production of a polyhydric alcohol from a urethane containing polymer. The method first provides a reaction mixture comprising said polymer, a reactive solvent, which comprises a polyol; and a catalyst, comprising catalyst particles. Said polymer is depolymerized in said reaction mixture by reacting with said polyol to produce said polyhydric alcohol. A further step allows said reaction mixture containing said polyhydric alcohol product to separate into a product phase containing said polyhydric alcohol and another phase mainly containing said polyol and said catalyst. The catalyst is recovered from said another phase, while said polyhydric alcohol product is recovered from said product phase. The catalyst is a catalyst complex comprising the catalyst particles and a catalyst entity covalently bonded to the catalyst particles via a linking group, wherein the catalyst entity comprises a cationic moiety having positive charge and a negative moiety having negative charge.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2022Publication date: June 6, 2024Applicant: loniqa Technologies B.V.Inventors: Luuk Lambertus Christina OLIJVE, Andre Banier DE HAAN, Joost Robert WOLTERS

Patent number: 12002368Abstract: A host aircraft includes a flight data system, the latter including a mobile device, central data server, and transceiver. The mobile device has a processor, memory programmed with a method embodied as computer-readable instructions, and a radio frequency (RF) communications circuit, GPS receiver, and sensor suite. The sensor suite collects raw flight data. Execution of the instructions by the processor causes the mobile device to process the raw flight data into synthesized data, and filter out human-induced motion of the mobile device from the synthesized data using a filtering model, and thereby generate time-stamped filtered flight data. The central data server is in wireless communication with the RF communications circuit, and receives the time-stamped filtered flight data therefrom. The transceiver, which is communicatively coupled to the central data server, disseminates the time-stamped filtered flight data to a user located remotely from the host aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Millie Irene Sterling, André Brodbeck Dugas, Joerg Robert Oliver Schmidt
