Abstract: The disclosure is the only product of its kind that is equipped with an easily controllable motorized trailing bicycle wheel that rests on a backpack frame that can be conveniently worn by a hiker. This unprecedented product is uniquely designed with an integrated splash guard to protect the pack and its contents from natural debris and/or weather conditions, a saddlebag configuration to increase capacity, compartmentalization of the carry pack to prevent shifting loads, integrated cables to raise and lower the end attached to the hiker backpack frame, and handheld speed control and brake mechanisms with a built-in dead-man switch, all of which, serves to simplify the transport of supplies for professional or laymen hikers, alike, while also serving as a carry-all medium for any occasion such as: walking around town, attending a farm, a tradeshow, and a host of other activities that may appeal to consumers.

Abstract: An oxygen storage material (OSM) includes a zinc manganese iron oxide (ZMF) and an alkali metal base on the ZMF surface. The ZMF has a spinel structure. The alkali metal containing ZMF can be formed to have a weight percent of alkali metal up to about two percent. The alkali metal carbonate is retained on the ZMF surface upon heating to a temperature greater than 1,000° C. and stabilizes the ZMF to the cycling of an oxygen rich and oxygen lean atmosphere. The OSM additionally catalyzes the oxidation of hydrocarbons and CO and catalyzes the reduction of NOx for use in catalytic converters.

Abstract: Catalyst for oxygen storage capacity applications that include a zinc doped manganese-iron spinel mixed oxide material. The zinc doped manganese-iron spinel mixed oxide material may be synthesized by a co-precipitation method using a precipitation agent such as sodium carbonate and exhibits a high oxygen storage capacity.
