Title
Enhanced
Magnetocaloric Effect Material
Summary Describes a magnetocaloric
heterostructure in which a conformal thin layer of a constricting
material is applied to a magnetostructural material to enhance the
magnetic field applied to and experienced by the magnetostructural
material.
Competitive Advantage This method of enhancing the
magnetic field applied to and experienced by the magnetostructural
material lowers the critical field necessary to realize a large MCE
without adversely affecting the functionality of the material.
Applications Temperature regulation by
magnetic field. Magnetic field modification by
changes in temperature.

Title
Corrosion-Resistant Coating For Metal Surfaces
Summary Describes a corrosion-resistant
film that is made of a partially cross-linked amido-functionalized
silanol component in combination with rare-earth metal oxide
nanoparticles.
Competitive Advantage The technique provides a
simple, fast, and economical method for producing ultra-thin
corrosion-resistant coatings. The corrosion resistance of
coatings made using this technology is comparable, and even superior,
to chromium-based coatings.
Applications Industries involved in making
ultra-thin corrosion resistant coatings for metal surfaces or in
making aluminum fins will find immediate use of this technology.

Title
Recyclable Catalysts
Summary
Describes catalysts and catalytic processes for
homogenous catalytic hydrogenation of ketones and aldehydes to
alcohols with hydrogen as the stoichiometric redundant and
organometallic tungsten and molybdenum complexes as the catalysts.
Competitive Advantage The catalysts described can
catalyze reactions in the liquid phase and can be
separated from the products. The catalysts can be used in
solvent-free catalytic reactions.
Applications The catalysts can be used in
hydrogenation and hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds.

Title
Catalysts for
Hydrogenation and Hydrosilyation of Carbonyl Compounds
Summary
Describes organometallic complexes of tungsten (W) and molybdenum (Mo)
as catalysts or catalyst precursors for the hydrosilylation of
ketones, aldehydes and esters and for the hydrogenation of ketones
and aldehydes.
Competitive Advantage These catalysts have a
significantly higher lifetime and show increased thermal stability
than others.
In addition, they use organometallic Mo and W complexes
that are considerably less expensive than the catalysts that use Pt, Rh, Ir
or Ru complexes.
Applications The catalysts can be used in
hydrogenation and hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds in general.
