Title: Upper engine cleaning adaptors used to connect a pressurized unit containing an upper engine cleaner to the vehicles plenum

Application No.: US2007-0824988 Applic. Date: 2007-07-03

Abstract: For decades the slow accretion of carbonaceous deposits on the upper cylinder areas of the internal combustion engines has acted to impair optimum performance and to significantly reduce gasoline or Diesel mileage per gallon. It has now been discovered that these formerly rather intractable engine deposits can be efficiently removed by dispersing and dissolving them through the use of optimized mixtures of polar protic and dipolar aprotic solvents that have the essential capability of acting in concert synergistically. For practical reasons these solvents must have a melting point higher than about 41 DEG F. (5 DEG C.). The finished product must also have a dielectric constant of about 20 and a pH value of at least 11.0 at 77 DEG F. (25 DEG C.). These parameters are considered vital to success.; For example, in a test using a blend with a dielectric constant of 15, the removal of the carbonaceous deposits was either de minimus or very limited, even at pH values of 12.0 at 77 DEG F. (25 DEG C.) or higher. However, at a dielectric constant of 20 the degree of removal was quite satisfactory. Preferred compositions of this invention may be utilized in the form of self pressurized (aerosol) dispensers.

Applicant: ECOLAB INC (US)

Application No.: US2007-0981591 Applic. Date: 2007-10-31

Abstract: Thermally formed thermoplastic articles can be protected from stress cracking in the presence of stress cracking promoting compounds by forming a shaped article comprising a thermoplastic and a liquid hydrocarbon oil composition. We have found that the liquid hydrocarbon oil composition prevents the stress cracking promoting materials from interacting with the polymeric structure of the stressed container to prevent or inhibit stress cracking in such materials. The methods and compositions of the invention are particularly useful in preventing stress cracking in polyethylene terephthalate beverage containers during bottling operations during which the bottle is contacted with aqueous and non-aqueous materials such as cleaners and lubricants that can interact with the polyester to cause stress cracking particularly in the container base.; A process for lubricating a container, such as a beverage container, or a conveyor for containers, by applying to the container or conveyor, a thin continuous, substantially non-dripping layer of a liquid lubricant. The process provides many advantages compared to the use of a conventional dilute aqueous lubricant.

Title: Hydrophobic self-cleaning coating compositions

Application No.: US2007-0699883 Applic. Date: 2007-01-30

Abstract: A hydrophobic self cleaning coating composition that can be applied by conventional methods such as by spraying the composition onto a surface forming creating a wet and dry dirt repellent coating on the surface. The coating utilizes hydrophobic nanoparticles of fumed silica and/or titania in a solvent which evaporates at ambient temperature. The coating solves the problem of poor resistance to UV light, opaque appearance, and/or abrasion found in previous coatings of similar nature. Virtually transparent coating are produced as compared to conventional coatings of comparable hydrophobicity which are typically white or opaque. The coating can be applied by a single and easy spraying method and the super hydrophobic property can be achieved by drying the film by evaporation of the solvent at ambient temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.; Embodiments of the hydrophobic self-cleaning coating composition can be produced resulting in a clear coating or in some cases a translucent dirt repellant film or coating on painted material, plastic, metal, glass, ceramic, fiberglass or a polymer substrate. One preferred coating composition utilizing an effective amount of a treated fumed silica in a solvent forms a coated surface providing a contact angle of at least 165 degrees as compared to water having a contact angle of from 10 to 15 degrees on a noncoated surface. The self-cleaning coating composition imparts a degree of hydrophobicity to a surface so that the treated surface will have a tilt angle of sliding of less than 2 degrees as compared to water on a noncoated surface having a tilt angle of sliding of 90 degrees or higher.

Title: Purification of proteins

Application No.: US2007-0004314 Applic. Date: 2007-12-20

Abstract: The present invention relates to a selectively soluble polymer capable of binding to one or more constituents in a mixture containing various biological materials and the methods of using such a polymer to purify a biomolecule from such a mixture. The polymer is soluble in the mixture under a certain set of process conditions such as pH or temperature and is rendered insoluble and precipitates out of solution upon a change in the process conditions. While in its solubilized state, the polymer is capable of binding to a selected entity within the stream such as impurities (DNA, RNA, host cell protein, endotoxins, etc) in a cell broth and remains capable of binding to that entity even after the polymer is precipitated out of solution. The precipitate can then be filtered out from the remainder of the stream and the desired biomolecule is recovered and further processed.

Abstract: A cut resistant chemical handling glove that is flexible and lightweight comprises a cured, liquid-impervious polymeric latex shell. A tacky acrylic adhesive with low shear strength can be used. A cut resistant liner is slipped on the tacky adhesive coating and is infiltrated with a polymeric latex coating and cured to integrally attach the cut resistant liner with the cured polymeric coating. When the latex glove is worn on a hand and a cutting edge, such as a knife edge, contacts the glove, a crease is formed due to slip at the tacky adhesive-cut resistant liner interface creating a geometry that reduces cut stress intensity at the knife-edge thereby increasing the cut resistance of the glove. Processes for making and using these gloves are also described.
