The size and shape looks more like PM Nickel to me:
http://www.korea-nickel.co.kr/products/powders.asp
and it seems more in keeping with what is listed in the patent
as: Powder nickel: Gerli Metalli--Milan
I don't see them making Raney nickel.

At the magnification used, this patent image is consistent with Raney
nickel
IMO.
You can see that the globules have a lot of smaller nano features which
would not be resolved without far greater magnification.
Are not the globules consistent with this image?
