  • Process of converting ethylbenzene to styrene using a graphite nanocatalysts
    Patent number: 7307195
    Abstract: Novel catalysts comprised of graphitic nanostructures. The graphitic nanostructure catalysts are suitable for catalyzing reactions such as oxidation, hydrogenation, oxidative-hydrogenation, and dehydrogenation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 2005
    Date of Patent: December 11, 2007
    Assignee: Catalytic Materials LLC
    Inventors: Mihai Polverejan, Christopher Marotta, R. Terry K. Baker
  • Shock-mitigating bolster
    Publication number: 20070001491
    Abstract: A personal support device having particular utility for use by personnel in high-performance surface watercraft comprises a bolster adapted and dimensioned to support an occupant for shock isolation from accelerations experienced by the vessel. The bolster is mounted by pivot means extending between the bolster and a back plate which is rigidly mounted to the vessel. The pivot means permit the bolster to pivot in an arc with respect to the back plate. A shock absorber extends between the back plate and bolster to dampen the accelerations which would otherwise be passed to the bolster by the pivot means from the back plate. The bolster is capable of supporting a user in a standing position or receiving a seat assembly to allow an occupant to be seated.
