    Publication number: 20050205428
    Abstract: A method of electrochemically reducing a metal oxide to the metal in an electrochemical cell is disclosed along with the cell. Each of the anode and cathode operate at their respective maximum reaction rates. An electrolyte and an anode at which oxygen can be evolved, and a cathode including a metal oxide to be reduced are included as is a third electrode with independent power supplies connecting the anode and the third electrode and the cathode and the third electrode.

  • Enhanced cellulose loose-fill insulation
    Patent number: 5910367
    Abstract: A loose-fill cellulose insulation having improved density can be achieved by intermingling the cellulose fibers with natural textile fibers. The textile fibers tend to maintain the spacing between the cellulose fibers, which decreases the density and minimizes settling, of the resulting insulation.
