Abstract: A process for the preparation of a shaped MOF, the process comprising: providing a first reactant comprising at least one metal in ionic form and a second reactant comprising at least one organic ligand capable of associating with said metal in ionic form, and optionally a solvent; allowing the first and second reactants to react to form a MOF; and forming a shaped body directly from the mixture of step b) using an extruder or continuous kneader; wherein the initial ratio of the at least one metal in ionic form to the at least one organic ligand is controlled such that shaped bodies having a minimum defined crush strength are formed without the use of an external binder or lubricant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a magnesium formate based metal-organic framework. The process comprises (a) combining magnesium or magnesium oxide with formic acid; (b) heating the reaction mixture of step (a) at a temperature of between 70° C. and 200° C.; (c) combining formic acid with the reaction mixture of step (b); and (d) heating the reaction mixture of step (c) at a temperature of between 70° C. and 200° C. Steps (c) and (d) may be heated up to 5 times.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies described herein provide for the detection of aircraft contrails through the identification of contrail shadows in real time imagery provided during a flight. According to one aspect of the disclosure provided herein, an antisolar point is located on a surface from the perspective of the aircraft in flight. Real time imagery encompassing the antisolar point is received and analyzed for a contrail indicator. When the contrail indicator is detected, it is determined that the aircraft is creating a contrail.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies described herein provide for the detection of aircraft contrails through the identification of contrail shadows in real time imagery provided during a flight. According to one aspect of the disclosure provided herein, aircraft flight data is received at a contrail detection computer. This data is used to locate an antisolar point on a surface of the earth from the perspective of the aircraft in flight. Real time imagery of an opaque or semi-opaque surface below the aircraft that encompasses the antisolar point is received and analyzed for a contrail indicator. When the contrail indicator is detected, it is determined that the aircraft is creating a contrail.

Abstract: A method and apparatus comprising a frame and a door. The door may be moveably connected to the frame. The door may be capable of being rotated in the frame between a closed position and an open position to provide access to an opening of a vehicle body without moving the door outside of a mold line of the vehicle body.

Abstract: A process for gathering data from a plurality of users at remote terminals connected to a central database that restricts the data entered into the central database by providing users with predefined responses to scripted prompts and screening the new data entered into the central database for erroneous responses by comparing the data with existing data through a series of rules. In an alternate embodiment, the present invention includes a process for gathering and analyzing information that includes maintaining a central database, accessing the central database from a remote terminal through an interface, entering information into the central database through the interface, validating the entered information against a set of rules and analyzing the validated information to generate performance indicators for the equipment placed into service. The interface preferably restricts the information entering the central database to a controlled group of responses to a series of scripted prompts.
