Filed:

Apr 21, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/063675

Inventors:

John Braithwaite - Seabrook TX
David Robert Bryant - South Charleston WV
David James Miller - Charleston WV
John Earl Logsdon - Houston TX

Assignee:

Union Carbide Chemicals Plastics Technology Corp. - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C07C 5121

US Classification:

562531, 562606, 261152, 261147, 261128, 261156, 422200, 422201, 422205, 422208

Abstract:

This invention relates to a process for producing one or more organic acids in high purity which process comprises (i) oxidizing in a liquid oxidation reactor one or more organic liquids with essentially pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air containing at least about 50% oxygen, at a temperature sufficiently stable to prevent cycling of reaction rate, to produce a crude reaction product fluid, and (ii) refining said crude reaction product fluid to give said one or more organic acids in high purity. The oxidation temperature is preferably controlled to within about Â3Â C. of a target temperature. The organic acids described herein is useful in a variety of applications, such as intermediates in the manufacture of chemical compounds, pharmaceutical manufacture and the like.

Appl. No.:

10/024951

Inventors:

David C. Bryant - Chicago IL 60630

International Classification:

E06B 9324

US Classification:

1601681R, 1601782, 24132 R

Abstract:

A cord lock desirably for a window blind assembly adapted to be releasably locked to a cord, such as a vertical cord of the window blind assembly, at alternate locations along the length of the cord. The cord lock desirably includes a first member and a second member that are hingedly connected together in any suitable manner for opening and closing the cord lock. The cord lock defines a channel for receiving the cord and includes structure for engaging the cord within the channel to releasably lock the cord lock to the cord when the cord lock is in a closed position. The channel may be elongated and defined by the second member, and the cord engaging structure may be integral or otherwise associated with the first member. The cord may be received within the channel when the cord lock is in a closed position to lock the cord lock to the cord and desirably also to substantially enclose the channel so as to define a passage with two open ends. At least a portion of the channel may be enclosed to retain the cord within the channel and permit sliding of the cord lock along the cord even when the cord lock is in the open position.

Assignee:

Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C07C 4550

US Classification:

568454

Abstract:

This invention relates to a method of stabilizing a metal-organopolyphosphite ligand complex catalyst against deactivation in a process which comprises reacting one or more reactants in the presence of a metal-organopolyphosphite ligand complex catalyst and optionally free organopolyphosphite ligand to produce a reaction product fluid comprising one or more products, which method comprises conducting said process in the presence of one or more free heterocyclic nitrogen compounds sufficient to prevent and/or lessen deactivation of the metal-organopolyphosphite ligand complex catalyst.

Appl. No.:

9/198962

Inventors:

David C. Bryant - Chicago IL

International Classification:

E06B 930

US Classification:

1601681R

Abstract:

A window blind assembly having a bottom rail that defines a channel for receiving and storing unnecessary or unused slats of the blind assembly to enable the ready customization of the blind assembly to fit windows of different heights. End caps removably engageable with the ends of the storage rail may be provided for retaining the slats within the channel. Slots may be formed on each of the leading edges of the end caps, extending inwardly, for engaging a cover slat to enclose the storage rail and enhance the aesthetic appearance of the storage rail. Means are also provided for readily securing the storage rail to the cords of the blind assembly.

Appl. No.:

9/240188

Inventors:

David C. Bryant - Chicago IL

International Classification:

E06B 930

US Classification:

1601781R

Abstract:

A window blind assembly having a storage rail assembly that includes a storage rail defining a channel for receiving and storing unnecessary or unused slats of the blind assembly to enable the ready customization of the blind assembly to fit windows of different heights. The storage rail assembly also includes a pair of end caps removably engageable with the ends of the storage rail for retaining the slats within the channel. Each end cap includes a breakaway member and an end piece removably joined together by a coupling portion desirably in the form of an area of reduced thickness of the end cap so that the breakaway member can be separated from the end piece and positioned to prevent buckling of the slats within the blind.

International Classification:

C07C 4550

US Classification:

568454

Abstract:

This invention relates to a process for producing one or more products in a staged reactor having more than one reactive stage which process comprises reacting in said staged reactor one or more reactants with carbon monoxide in the presence of a metal-organophosphorus ligand complex catalyst and optionally free organophosphorus ligand to produce said one or more products, wherein said metal-organophosphorus ligand complex catalyst does not undergo substantial deactivation in the presence of solely carbon monoxide and/or effects a change in normal product selectivity of less than 0. 2 percent of normal product per 1 pound per square inch of carbon monoxide partial pressure and/or effects a change in reaction rate of less than 2 percent per 1 pound per square inch of carbon monoxide partial pressure.

International Classification:

E06B 930

US Classification:

1601681

Abstract:

A window blind having a bottom rail that defines a channel for receiving and storing unnecessary or unused slats of the blind to enable the ready customization of the blind to fit windows of different heights. End caps removably engageable with the ends of the storage rail are provided for maintaining the slats within the channel. U-shaped slots may be formed on each of the leading edges of the end caps, extending inwardly for receiving and retaining a cover slat to enclose the storage rail and enhance the aesthetic appearance of the storage rail. Means may also be provided for readily securing the storage rail to the cords of the blind. The securing means comprises a slot formed on the bottom of the storage rail that slidingly engages twist-and-lock eyelets joined to the ends of the cords.
