20080293831 - Method for producing zirconia sol: A production method of a zirconia sol includes; (A) mixing a dicarboxylic acid compound with a zirconium compound in an aqueous medium, in which a molar ratio of the dicarboxylic acid compound is more than 1 and less than or equal to 10 per mol of zirconium atom in the... Agent: Oliff & Berridge, PLC

20080293832 - Solid sample, solid sample fabricating method, and solid sample fabricating apparatus: A solid sample fabricating method includes preparing a specimen containing a first substance, which is in a liquid phase at normal temperature and normal pressure, and a second substance different from the first substance, which is in a solid or a liquid phase at the normal temperature and the normal... Agent: Fitzpatrick Cella Harper & Scinto

20080293833 - Carbon nanocapsule-layered silicate hybrid and preparation method thereof: A carbon nanocapsule-layered silicate hybrid is provided. Layered silicates (platelet-shaped) as a dispersant are mixed with carbon nanocapsules (sphere-shaped) by a physical process. The physically mixed hybrid exhibits a homogeneous dispersion phase due to the geometric shape inhomogeneity factor. Aggregation of carbon nanocapsules is thus avoided. The hybrid can be... Agent: Birch Stewart Kolasch & Birch

20080287554 - Dispersions of inorganic particulates: A dispersion of a particulate inorganic material comprises a non-aqueous liquid medium containing a particulate inorganic material dispersed therein and an effective amount of one or more dispersing agent which serves to maintain the particulate inorganic material in dispersion in the non-aqueous medium, wherein the particulate inorganic material has an... Agent: Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner LLP

20080281001 - Mixing device: Particular aspects provide compositions comprising an electrokinetically altered oxygenated aqueous fluid, wherein the oxygen in the fluid is present in an amount of at least 25 ppm. In certain aspects, the electrokinetically altered oxygenated aqueous fluid comprises electrokinetically modified or charged oxygen species present in an amount of at least...
