  • Publication number: 20180268945
    Abstract: A method for facilitating fusion by magnetocompression of hydrogen isotopes. A magnetic field of at least 105 T is exposed to fuel including hydrogen isotopes. After exposure to the magnetic field, the fuel is energized by a laser, ionizing the hydrogen and converting the fuel to plasma. The magnetic field compresses internuclear separation of H2+. The magnetic field also compresses the electron radius of hydrogen atoms, resulting in increased electron binding energy. Each of these changes accompanying magnetocompression facilitates fusion of the nuclei following laser excitation. A solenoid for enhancing magnetic fields is also described. The solenoid includes conduction member defining a cavity therein. The conduction member is a highly conductive material, which may include a composite of a semiconductor and a conductor. The solenoid may be applied to hold the fuel or in any application to concentrate the magnetic field in a small volume.

  • Patent number: 8580998
    Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure, among others, encompass methods for generating alkenes under mild thermolytic conditions that can provide almost total conversion of a precursor compound to an alkene without isomerization or the need to chromatographically purify the final product By selectively blocking the amino and carboxy groups of the derivatized amino acid, the methods of the disclosure provide for the synthesis of a peptide having the vinylglycine moiety at either the carboxy or the amino terminus of the peptide The mild conditions for the thermolytic removal of an o-NO2-phenyl substituted aryl group ensure that there is minimal if any damage to thermally sensitive conjugates such as a peptide bearing the vinylglycine The methods of the present disclosure have practical applications for the preparation of unsaturated compounds under mild, thermolytic conditions.

  • Patent number: 6348163
    Abstract: Disclosed are novel compositions containing an LCP and one or more aromatic phosphonites. Also disclosed is a novel process for preparing LCPs in the presence of one or more aromatic phosphonites. The process enables the preparation of LCPs in a more controlled manner so that the LCPs have excellent thermal/oxidative stability. The LCPs are useful where the combination of good mechanical properties, excellent thermal resistance properties, and excellent thermal stability are desired, such as in electrical/electronic applications and electrical connectors.
