Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for synthesizing ammonia using nano-size metal or metal alloy catalyst particles. Hydrogen and nitrogen gases are passed through a system comprising, for example, a bed of magnetite supporting nano-size iron or iron alloy catalyst particles having an optional oxide layer that forms the catalyst.

Abstract: A composition useful for the fueling and refueling of electrochemical devices is described. The composition comprises an ion-conducting medium such as an electrolyte, and catalyst nanoparticles. Unlike traditional electrodes, such as those typically used in electrolyzers and fuel cells, the inventive composition may be quickly drained from the device and refilled to maintain maximum cell performance. In addition, the electro-catalytic charging composition can be stored as a solid for safe handling; for example in a portable cartridge.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention provides apparatus for providing a next-generation communication system over existing wiring. In one form the apparatus includes an input to receive broadband signals carrying next-generation communication data, a processor to extract the next-generation communication data from the broadband signals and a converter to convert the next-generation communication data into analogue telephone signals. The apparatus is arranged to output the analogue telephone signals at the input of the apparatus. Also described is a related method of providing a next-generation communication system over existing wiring.

Abstract: Formulations of VLA-4 binding antibody are described.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct June-bearing cultivar of strawberry plant named ‘L'Amour’ primarily adapted to the growing conditions of west central New York and other regions of similar climate. The new cultivar is primarily characterized by strong vigor, large flowers, longer than broad fruit, conical fruit shape, uniformity in shape between primary and secondary fruit, bright red fruit color, glossy skin, very firm fruit flesh, large reflexed calyx, and long pedicels and fruiting trusses.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct June-bearing cultivar of strawberry plant named ‘CLANCY’ primarily adapted to the growing conditions of west central New York and other regions of similar climate. The new cultivar is primarily characterized by strong vigor, large flowers, broader than long fruit, globose fruit shape, very large primary fruit, dark red fruit color, very firm fruit flesh, the upright attitude of pedicels and fruiting trusses, and late season fruit maturation.

Abstract: A tubular reactor with a catalyst bed and inserts placed within the tubes redirecting the flow from the center to the wall of the tube. The redirected flow increases the amount of heat transfer through the system by moving the reactants from the low heat transfer zone at the center of the tube to the high heat transfer zone at the wall of the tube. In one embodiment, the tubular reactor comprises a tubular reactor having a series of tubes, within the tubes are a plurality of flow obstructing inserts and a catalyst bed. The inserts may comprise a plurality of inclined, conical, or spiral plates. The plates may be affixed to the wall of the tube and may depend on the catalyst bed for structural support.

Abstract: A collapsible playyard for an infant includes a pair of frame subassemblies and a plurality of collapsible connecting members which normally maintain the frame subassemblies in spaced substantially parallel relation. The frame subassemblies include knuckle joints which cooperate to maintain the frame assembly in an erected position, but at least a portion of which are reoriented as the connecting members are collapsed to allow the frame subassemblies to also be collapsed. The width of one of the frame subassemblies is smaller than the width of the other frame subassembly to allow the two frame subassemblies to be at least partially nested together and then folded in half to form a compact collapsed structure.

Abstract: A foldable child's high chair has a use position wherein an occupant can occupy the chair and a folded position wherein the chair can be folded for storage. The chair includes a seat having a base portion and a back support portion. The back support portion includes a stationary section and a movable section which is movable to position the child. A retaining latch is provided for retaining the movable section in at least two different selected positions relative to the stationary section. A frame is provided for supporting the seat and includes a front leg and a rear leg. A first pivot is provided for pivotally coupling the base portion to the front leg, and a second pivot is provided for pivotally coupling the base portion to the rear leg. A third pivot is provided for pivotally coupling the back support to the rear leg. A rigid link member and a pair of pivots are provided for coupling the back support portion to the base portion.
