Patent number: 7410804Abstract: A process of forming an array of powder samples arranged in predefined locations where all samples have a flat surface in a common plane has been developed. A main support having at least N perforations from a first surface of the main support through a second surface of the main support in predefined locations. The main support is equipped with a flat support temporarily attached to its first surface. All samples are loaded simultaneously. A flat surface of each sample, where the flat surfaces are a common plane, is formed by forcing the samples within the perforations against the flat support. The samples are retained in position within the perforations against the flat support using at least one cover. The flat surfaces of the samples are in predefined locations and are all in a common plane.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2004Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Rune Wendelbo, Duncan E.

Patent number: 7341707Abstract: The invention concerns a method for production of microporous crystalline metalloaluminium phosphates (ELAPO) based adsorbents or catalysts by in-situ crystallisation of ELAPO inside a formed body. First the formed body containing aluminium phosphate (AIPO) and binder is prepared, thereafter the organic structure directing agent, EL source and water are added and finally ELAPO is crystallised in-situ at elevated temperature and pressure, while keeping the shape and size of the formed body.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2003Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: Polymers Holding ASInventors: Terje Fuglerud, Arne Gidløv Grønvold, Rune Wendelbo, Åse Slagtern, Ivar Martin Dahl

Patent number: 7288411Abstract: A process for simultaneously testing a plurality of catalysts using combinatorial chemistry has been developed. The process involves containing the plurality of catalysts in an array of parallel reactors with each reactor containing a bed of catalyst. Each bed of catalyst is then simultaneously contacted, at reaction conditions, with a reactant to form an effluent of each reactor. The reactant or an inert fluid is at a space velocity sufficient to fluidize the catalyst beds. Each of the effluents is analyzed.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2003Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Duncan E. Akporiaye, Arne Karlsson, Ivar M. Dahl, Rune Wendelbo, Kurt M.

Publication number: 20060240567Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypeptide tag and a method using said polypeptide tag sequence for immobilizing a protein on a microporous material, said microporous material is selected from the group consisting of zeolite or similar solid surfaces whereby loss of activity of said protein is less than 10% of the initial activity prior to immobilization, the method comprising the steps of: 1. Selecting a polypeptide tag capable of binding to the surface, 2. Immobilizing said protein by the steps of: attaching said polypeptide tag to the protein, and binding said polypeptide tag to the solid surface where step (a) and (b) is performed simultaneously or sequentially and when performed sequentially, the order of step (a) and (b) is random, subject to the limitation that the polypeptide tag does not consist only of histidine residues.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2003Publication date: October 26, 2006Inventors: Stanley Brown, Rune Wendelbo, Sanne Nygaard

Patent number: 6821486Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-autoclave and details of its design, a method for automated synthesis of zeolites in the multi-autoclave, and furthermore, to applications of the multi-autoclave for an automated synthesis which is optimized simultaneously with regard to several synthesis parameters in the synthesis of zeolites. The multi-autoclave consists typically of a pressure vessel/autoclave having from 10 to 10,000 small, separated chambers lined with an inert material, with each chamber typically having a volume of 0.2-2 ml. The chambers preferably are formed as through-going perforations in a central block and the perforations are sealed by balls, septa, stoppers or such which are placed at the bottom and top of each through-going perforation. Metal plates are placed over and under the central block so that a closing mechanism is pressed against the edges of the perforations with sufficient load to enable the chambers to be filled with aqueous mixtures and to be heated to 200° C.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 1999Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: Sinvent ASInventors: Duncan Akporiaye, Ivar Martin Dahl, Arne Karlsson, Rune Wendelbo
