20080070997 - Preparation of gels derived from carboxymethyl cellulose alkali metal salt: A method of preparing a gel from carboxymethyl cellulose alkali metal salt, which is an anionic cellulose derivative, by using acid or acid solution. To increase the strength and the elasticity of a gel, a water-insoluble metal compound or organic reinforcement is added when mixing. The obtained gel is one... Agent: Mattingly, Stanger, Malur & Brundidge, P.C.

20080064766 - Apparatus for enhancing solubility: Apparatus for enhancing solubility of a solute in a solvent, the apparatus comprising a solvent and/or solute inlet 104 having a fluidising unit which creates a vortex such that a fluids interfacial/boundary layer exists within the vortex where enhanced mass transfer, or dissolution of solute into the solvent takes place.... Agent: Cameron International Corporation

20080064767 - High-concentration nanoscale silver colloidal solution and preparing process thereof: The present invention relates to a high-concentration nanoscale silver colloidal solution and the preparing process thereof. The colloidal solution of the present invention comprises a high content of silver particles, i.e. approximately 1.5 wt %. The mean size of the nanoscale silver is less than 10 nm. In the preparing... Agent: Birch Stewart Kolasch & Birch
