Данная разработка относится к области медицинской электротехники и приборостроения и применима в областях: фармакологии, гуманной и ветеринарной медицины, зоотехники, лабораторной техники и оборудования, растениеводства, а также в сфере быта. Осуществление полезной модели достигается путем монтажа основных конструктивных элементов электролитического генератора внутри медицинского инъекционного шприца. При этом пара серебряных (999,9) электродов (1) закрепляется на поверхности поршня шприца (2) таким образом, чтобы электрическая контактная часть электрода проходила сквозь поршень и была герметично в него вмонтирована (3). При этом максимально большая часть рабочей поверхности серебряных электродов должна быть размещена внутри цилиндра шприца (7), а место электрического соединения электрода с электрическим разъемом или электрокабелем - в толще массы герметика (3) с внешней стороны поршня. Штекерный электрический разъем (4) также крепится на поверхности штока шприца (5) и служит как для подключения генератора к внешнему источнику питания и электронных блоков, так и для мануального переключения с целью изменения электрической полярности. Такой электролитический генератор способен работать с любым низковольтным источником электропитания, работающим в миллиамперном диапазоне, не зависимо от характера тока. Настоящей полезной моделью также предусмотрено создание адаптера (6), обеспечивающего подключение штекерного разъема генератора к внешним USB-источникам тока, либо электронно-измерительному оборудованию. Для производства коллоидного наносеребра внутреннюю полость шприца заполняют дистиллированной водой, затем удаляют излишний воздух и подключают генератор к соответствующему источнику электропитания.

Microencapsulated catalyst

Номер: US20120016139A1
Принадлежит: REAXA Ltd

The present invention relates to a catalyst system. In particular the invention relates to a catalyst in the form of metal or an alloy that is encapsulated within a polymer shell or matrix. More specifically the invention is directed towards reactive catalytic metals that may be pyrophoric or otherwise reactive in air and/or susceptible to oxidation. In particular, the invention is concerned with catalysts based on nickel. Raney or sponge nickel is highly hazardous: a self-igniting solid; produces hazardous fumes when burning; causes irritation of the respiratory tract, nasal cavities; causes pulmonary fibrosis if inhaled; ingestion may lead to convulsions and intestinal disorders; causes eye and skin irritation; and chronic exposure may lead to pneumonitis and sensitization (“nickel itch”). The invention provides metal catalysts that avoid such problems and have a good shelf life and working life.

ENCAPSULATION BY CROSS-LINKING OF ANIONIC POLYMERS BY PH INDUCED DISSOCIATION OF CATION-CHELATE COMPLEXES

Номер: US20220025132A1

Microencapsulation methods are provided using encapsulant, fiber or film forming compositions of a cross-linkable anionic polymer, a multivalent cation salt, a chelating agent, and a volatile base. During the formation of this composition, the generally acidic chelating agent is titrated with a volatile base to an elevated pH to improve ion-binding capability. Multivalent cations are sequestered in cation-chelate complexes. Cross-linkable polymers in this solution will remain freely dissolved until some disruption of equilibrium induces the release of the free multivalent cations from the cation-chelate complex. Vaporization of the volatile base drops the pH of the solution causing the cation-chelate complexes to dissociate and liberate multivalent cations that associate with the anionic polymer to form a cross-linked matrix. During spray-drying, the formation of a wet particle, polymer cross-linking, and particle drying occur nearly simultaneously. 1. A method of cross-linking polymer molecules , the method comprising:(a) providing a solution of an acidic chelating agent with a volatile base;(b) adding at least one source of multivalent cations to form cation-chelate complexes in the solution;(c) mixing molecules of at least one anionic polymer with the solution of cation-chelate complexes and volatile base; and(d) vaporizing the volatile base of the solution, thereby disassociating the cation-chelate complexes and releasing multivalent cations and cross-linking the polymer molecules with said multivalent cations.2.
