Filed:

Apr 26, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/456361

Inventors:

Travis Edward Schwark - Shorewood IL, US
Robert Joseph Egging - Oswego IL, US
James Lester Greene - Bristol IL, US
Mario Roberto Giovannini - Plainfield IL, US

International Classification:

B60K 15/077
B21D 53/88

US Classification:

220563, 298972

Abstract:

A baffle system for guiding fuel stored within a fuel tank is disclosed. The baffle system may include first and second baffle walls. Each of the first and second baffle walls may be formed from inner, intermediate, and outer portions. Each inner portion may extend from the respective intermediate portion. Each outer portion may extend from the respective intermediate portion, with an angle at a junction of the outer and intermediate portions being between approximately 120 degrees and 150 degrees. The first and second baffles walls may form a partially-closed volume with the first and second inner and intermediate portions, where the partially-closed volume may be configured to retain fuel guided into the volume by the first and second outer portions.

Inventors:

James L. Greene - Bristol IL, US

International Classification:

B60K 15/07
B21D 53/88

US Classification:

280834, 298972

Abstract:

A fuel tank mounting system for a motor vehicle including an end plate, a sleeve, a fuel tank bracket, and a pin for coupling the fuel tank to a frame of the motor vehicle while allowing the fuel tank bracket to move axially with respect to the pin and to rotate about the pin to reduce stress on at least one fuel tank mount used to couple the fuel tank to the frame.

US Classification:

562414

Abstract:

A process for producing 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid by the liquid phase, exothermic oxidation of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene comprising adding to a reaction zone oxidation reaction components comprising 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, a source of molecular oxygen, a solvent comprising an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid, and a catalyst comprising cobalt, manganese and bromine components wherein the atom ratio of cobalt to manganese is at least about 1:1 and the total of cobalt and manganese, calculated as elemental cobalt and elemental manganese added to the reaction zone, is less than about 0. 40 weight percent based on the weight of the solvent added to the reaction zone; maintaining the contents of the reaction zone at a temperature and pressure sufficient to cause the oxidation of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene to 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid and the vaporization of at least a portion of the reaction solvent while maintaining a liquid phase reaction mixture; condensing the vaporized solvent and returning an amount of the condensed solvent to the reaction zone to maintain the amount of water in the reaction zone at no more than about 15 weight percent based on the weight of solvent in the reaction zone; and withdrawing from the reaction zone a mixture comprising 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid.
