  • Patent number: 11358134
    Abstract: Phosphine phosphonate and phenoxyphosphine ligands bearing polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains are used as described herein to produce heterobimetallic catalysts. The ligands can be metallated selectively with palladium or nickel and secondary metal ions to provide well-defined heterobimetallic compounds. These heterobimetallic complexes exhibit accelerated reaction rates and greater thermal stability in olefin polymerization compared to other catalysts.

  • Patent number: 10460076
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the invention relate to aggregating digital data for a patient during an examination at a private physician office environment, wherein the digital data is associated with a data file for the patient. A physician can utilize a device to capture an image of a patient or a portion of a patient, wherein the image relates to a condition or an area of medical concern based on the physician's opinion. In particular, the image can be superimposed onto a generic human body shape such that a precise location of the area of medical concern is identified by a marker and further the image.

  • Patent number: 10205374
    Abstract: A time-varying current from a DC voltage-source, flows through a primary winding of a magnetic circuit containing permanent magnets, induces more inductive voltages across different windings. The windings are wrapped around the main, sub-magnetic paths of different forms and constructions of the Tran-generators. The invention when combined with any one of recovering the utilized electric charge, using the (hybrid) soft magnetic wires, applying the Voltage-Doubler circuits, and using the transfer of high-potential electric charge to generate more electric energy, make the tran-generators useful.
