Publication number: 20220213298Abstract: Porous cellulose microparticles and their use in, inter alias, cosmetic and pharmaceutic preparations are provided. These microparticles comprise cellulose I nanocrystals aggregated together, thus forming the microparticles, and arranged around cavities in the microparticles, thus defining pores in the microparticles. A method of for producing these microparticles is also provided. It involves mixing a suspension of cellulose I nanocrystals with an emulsion of a porogen to produce a mixture comprising a continuous liquid phase in which droplets of the porogen are dispersed and in which the nanocrystals of cellulose I are suspended; spray-drying the mixture to produce microparticles; and if the porogen has not sufficiently evaporated during spray-drying to form pores in the microparticles, evaporating the porogen or leaching the porogen out of the microparticles to form pores in the microparticles.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2020Publication date: July 7, 2022Inventors: Mark P.

Patent number: 10266268Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for disposal of liquid and food into a sink basin. The disclosed system cooperates with and delivers the received waste material to the main waste system on-board the vehicle. This is typically an aircraft waste tank. The system does not require a manual flush, but includes a sensor system that activates drainage of the holding line when the liquid and/or other waste material reaches a certain level therein. The disclosed system combines the functionalities of a common galley sink and a galley waste disposal unit, but occupies only the space envelope of an existing galley sink. The use of an existing galley sink means that no additional space on the countertop is required.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: MAG Aerospace Industries, LLCInventors: Razmik B. Boodaghians, Christina Ortolan, Joerg Stachowski, Timothy Morse

Publication number: 20150165871Abstract: An auxiliary or supplemental vehicle heating system that operates on natural gas or propane is provided for use with a vehicle engine having a liquid cooling/heating circuit. A propane- or natural gas-fired burner supplies heat during the operation or non-operation of the engine and the heat produced is used to supply heat to the engine, passenger compartment(s), mobile work areas, cargo containers and in the case of natural gas vehicles, provide heat to the on-board fuel system regulator. Thus, the auxiliary or supplemental heating system supplies heat independent of the engine's liquid cooling/heating circuit. In some embodiments, the cooling/heating circuit uses the heat produced from the natural gas or propane auxiliary heating system to supply heat to the engine via a heat exchanger.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2014Publication date: June 18, 2015Inventors: Gerard Miller, Timothy Morse
