Recent Patents

A patent recently was issued on strain AFPl 11 (18). This strain currently is designated ATCC 202021. 

Several compds, some of them explosive, were patented recently by Swedish inventors. For their prepn, polynitro-alcohols(having all N02 groups attached to the same C atom and the OH group or groups attached to the adja-cent C atom) were treated with ammonia(or an N-substitution deriv thereof) in aq or other solns 

Alkoxylated quaternary ammonium surfactants have been patented recently as performance boosters for detergent formulations [71 ]. 

There have been a number of patents recently that have given reasonable bleaches but none has been employed commercially. The useful peroxide bleaches control the silver electrode potential by complexing the silver [142] or by careful control of the halide concentration [143]. 

Securite or Sekurit, A gelatinized Oba-lanced safety explosive patented recently in Sweden by Wetterholm, It is described in this Vol of Encycl, p D1255 L 

A generator for producing aerosols, smokes, fogs and layers of gas was patented recently in France(Ref 3) 

The method utihzed for determining the axial and transverse components of the strain tensor in the above-specified RVE has been patented recently (26) as a novel option of the video-controlled materials testing system, VideoTraction , designed by two of the authors (C.G s. and J.M.H.) and licensed to the Apollor Co. (Vandoeuvre, France). We recall below briefly the main features of the method.

Somewhat unanticipated applications can arise. For example, a process for the production of ultrapure hydrogen peroxide for the electronics industry has been patented recently,1425 which uses the macrobicyclic hexamine complex (29) supported on an inert material for dioxygen 

A wide variety of new NOS inhibitors have been reported over the last couple of years, but clinical data have not been available up to now. A selection of NOS inhibitors patented recently is shown in the following scheme

Quaternary ammonium salts containing hydroxyl or ether functions in the shorter groups attached to the head-group are can also be used as hydrate inhibitors. Ethoxylated alkyldiamines are another class of cationic hydrate inhibitor that has been patented recently. In all of the above cases, cationic hydrate inhibitors appear to work best when used in combination with other additives. 

The full range of reactions for which these materials can be used has yet to be identified. There has been a flourish of new patents recently so it may not be long before scale-up results (at least to pilot plant) appear. Table 2 provides a list of seme of the laboratory-scale reactions so far reported. 

Usefulness The invention has some definite, practical utility. The utility of the invention should not be merely hypothetical, abstract, or contrived. The rationale for this condition is self-explanatory the pubKc does not benefit from useless patents. Recently, the U.S. PTO raised the bar for proving the
