Publication number: 20130062286Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for obtaining materials based on treating solids by interaction with ferrofluids to give the final product a superparamagnetic behaviour at a moderate temperature. Said superparamagnetic materials are the result of the assembly of metal oxide nanoparticles associated to a compound with a surfactant effect, such as oleic acid, which are provided by a non-aqueous ferrofluid to different types of solids, preferably having adsorbent, absorbent or reactant and product support properties. The invention also relates to the material obtained by this procedure and its use in various applications such as adsorbents, sensors, ion exchangers the removal of toxic or radioactive contaminants, in chromatographic separation processes, in medical and biological applications, as carriers of biologically derived materials such as enzymes, as polymer fillers, absorption of electromagnetic radiation, as well as metal oxide and catalyst precursors.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2011Publication date: March 14, 2013Applicant: CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTIFICAS (CSIC)Inventors: Eduardo Ruiz Hitzky, María Pilar Aranda Gallego, Yorexis González Alfaro

Publication number: 20120217670Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a mold assembly (32, 34) and a method of using the mold for the manufacture of composite parts which, more particularly, are generated from a strengthener in a generally solid phase and a matrix in a generally liquid phase. Various types of molds and processes may be used in order to impregnate a strengthener with a matrix such that a composite part may be manufactured, but the efficiency rate and the duration of the manufacturing process significantly varies depending on the chosen type of mold and process. The present invention relates to a mold assembly and to the manufacture of composites by using the mold assembly which includes the injection of the matrix in the mold assembly containing the strengthener and a deformable member (36) which favors the impregnation of the matrix toward the strengthener.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2012Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: POLYVALOR, LIMITED PARTNERSHIPInventors: Eduardo Ruiz, François Trochu

Publication number: 20050123913Abstract: This invention provides human mtDNA polymorphisms that are diagnostic of all the major human haplogroups and methods of diagnosing those haplogroups and selected subhaplogroups. This invention also provides methods for identifying evolutionarily significant mitochondrial DNA genes, nucleotide alleles, and amino acid alleles. Evolutionarily significant genes and alleles are identified using one or two populations of a single species. The process of identifying evolutionarily significant nucleotide alleles involves identifying evolutionarily significant genes and then evolutionarily significant nucleotide alleles in those genes, and identifying evolutionarily significant amino acid alleles involves identifying amino acids encoded by all nonsynonymous alleles. Synonymous codings of the nucleotide alleles encoding evolutionarily significant amino acid alleles of this invention are equivalent to the evolutionarily significant amino acid alleles disclosed herein and are included within the scope of this invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2002Publication date: June 9, 2005Applicant: Emory UniversityInventors: Douglas Wallace, Seyed Hosseini, Dan Mishmar, Eduardo Ruiz-Pesini, Marie Lott
