Patent number: 12129052Abstract: Systems and methods for achieving pristine microgravity in low earth orbit (LEO) using electric propulsion. Long-duration, low thrust, electric thrusters provide a constant thrust force for a pristine microgravity environment within a given volume of a space vehicle experiencing drag forces in LEO. Large space vehicles in LEO configured to be pressurized for human habitation, for instance having a mass of at least 40,000 kg and an internal volume of at least 400 m3, can use the electric propulsion systems and methods to achieve a quasi-steady acceleration less than or equal to 1.0 ?g for durations of 180 consecutive days or longer.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2022Date of Patent: October 29, 2024Assignee: Blue Origin, LLCInventors: David Degenhardt, Kyle Patrick Doyle, David Aaron Kornuta, Zachary Reid Tolley

Patent number: 11377420Abstract: A highly effective synthetic route to produce donor-acceptor azetines through the highly enantioselective [3+1]-cycloaddition of silyl-protected enoldiazoacetates with aza-ylides using chiral copper(I) catalysis is provided. In one embodiment, the 2-azetidine cycloaddition products undergo generation of 3-azetidinones by reactions with nucleophiles that produce a broad spectrum of peptide products by the retro-Claisen reaction provided by facile strain with high efficacy and complete retention of enantiopurity. This ring opening reaction uncovers a new methodology for the attachment of chiral peptide units to a variety of amines and alcohols, and tolerates a broad scope of nucleophiles including naturally occurring amines, alcohols, amino acids, and other nitrogen based nucleophiles.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas SystemInventors: Michael Patrick Doyle, Kostiantyn Oleksandrovich Marichev
