Abstract: Pluggable electrical outlet system is provided including a recessed wall box which may interchangeably receive various mating sockets to provide a universal outlet system. The pluggable electrical outlet system further includes a junction box for distributing power lines, a circuit break box with universal connectors, and extenders. The extenders are configured to run power from the circuit breaker and the junction boxes to the recessed wall boxes. The recessed wall box comprises a female connector structured to interchangeably receive a male connector located on each of the series of sockets.

Abstract: A process for the production of a catalyst comprising the steps of: dissolving the requisite quantities of copper nitrate and nickel nitrate in de-ionised water to provide a sub-0.30 molar aqueous solution of copper nitrate and nickel nitrate together in the ratio required; providing an ammoniacal solution by adding concentrated aqueous solution of ammonia in a quantity equal to between six and ten times the quantity required to realise both a 1:6 molar ratio for Cu2+ to ammonia and a 1:6 molar ratio for Ni2+ to ammonia; loading gamma alumina with 1 to 30% w/w of copper and nickel in a weight ratio of nickel to copper of 1:5 to 2:1 by suspending the requisite quantity of gamma alumina in said ammoniacal solution to achieve the required loading of copper and nickel; stirring the resulting gamma alumina suspension for at least 4 h at room temperature; then the volatile components evaporate under ambient conditions leaving dry loaded gamma alumina, which is calcined at a temperature of at least 260° C.

Abstract: Method for the recycling of polyvinyl butyral based on obtaining recycled polyvinyl butyral (PVB) from laminated glass which is shattered and the polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is separated. The sheet obtained is cut into pieces and cleaned to eliminate dirt and foreign matter. The solid state PVB is subjected to a first polyvinyl butyral (PVB) purification stage with a chemical treatment with a first reagent and a final chemical treatment with a second reagent. The obtained purified polyvinyl butyral is suitable to be used in the manufacture of laminated glass.

Abstract: Hyperbranched, water-soluble polymers, obtainable by Michael polyaddition of ?-, ?-, or ?-cyclodextrins and amines to bisacrylamides.

Abstract: Method for the production of mixed oxides and permanent magnetic particles, based on rare earths-transition metals to produce RETM magnetic materials, comprising the preparation of a parent compounds mixture; introducing the parent compound mixture into a reactor with heat energy input, where the atomization die generates fine droplets as spray or aerosol; subjecting the fine droplets formed to pyrolysis and combustion, and; reducing the mixed oxide particles formed and collected as homogenous powder, obtaining permanent magnetic particles; being a simple method and allowing to obtain homogeneous and versatile compositions, especially for Rare Earth-Transition Metal (RETM) type permanent magnets, where RE (rare earth) can be, for example, an element such as neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium or a combination thereof, among other possibilities, and TM (transition metal) can be, for example, iron, cobalt, nickel or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Method for the recycling of polyvinyl butyral based on the obtaining of recycled polyvinyl butyral (PVB) from laminated glass which is then shattered and the polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is separated. The sheet obtained is cut into pieces, then proceeding to a surface cleaning process eliminating the dirt and foreign matter, which comprises: a first polyvinyl butyral (PVB) purification stage by way of a chemical treatment by means of a reagent; a subsequent final chemical treatment stage supplementary to the first stage by means of a reagent, the purification treatment being carried out on the polyvinyl butyral (PVB) in solid state and obtaining totally purified polyvinyl butyral read to be used again in the manufacture of laminated glass.
