A highly efficient combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system is capable of providing 100% utilization of an energy generator used by the system by distributing thermal and electrical outputs of the energy generator to loads and/or other storage apparatuses. The CCHP system includes an energy generator, which can be a fuel cell and a waste heat recovery unit that assists in recovering thermal energy from the energy generator and returning it to the energy generator, and/or providing it to a thermal load, or a storage as needed or desired.

Xylene derivatives, such as chloro-ortho-xylene, are oxidized in a solvent in the presence of at least one metal catalyst with addition of promoter after the reaction has proceeded to an intermediate stage of conversion to product mixture. The product comprises chlorophthalic acid or chlorophthalic anhydride.

Method for oxidation of xylene derivatives

Polyether polymers such as polyetherimides are prepared by a two-step reaction. The first step is the reaction between an alkali metal salt of a dihydroxy-substituted aromatic hydrocarbon, such as bisphenol A disodium salt, and a substituted aromatic compound such as 1,3-bis&lsqb;N-(4-chlorophthalimido)&rsqb;benzene, the alkali metal salt being employed in an amount less than stoichiometric. The intermediate low molecular weight polymer thus produced then undergoes reaction with additional alkali metal salt. By this method, a polyether polymer of closely controlled molecular weight can be conveniently prepared.

Method for preparing polyether polymers of predetermined molecular

A method is provided for making fumed silica aggregate having an average convex perimeter in the range of about 0.12 micron to about 0.6 micron based on the combustion of a mixture of a silicon compound, such as an organosilane, an oxygen containing gas, such as air and a fuel such as hydrogen. The fumed silica aggregate has been found to enhance properties in heat curable filled silicone compositions.

Method for making fumed silica having a reduced aggregate size and
