Filed:

Nov 26, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/723744

Inventors:

Hugo Camenzind - Bern, CH

Assignee:

Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corp. - Tarrytown NY

International Classification:

C08G 63/688
C08G 75/00

US Classification:

528360, 528361, 528364, 528373, 524292, 524386, 560 60, 252404

Abstract:

The invention relates to liquid sulphur-containing antioxidants and to compositions comprising them. The novel lubricant compositions comprise the reaction product of a selected group of 5-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-3-methyl(or tert-butyl)phenyl substituted carboxylic acid esters with thiodiethylene glycol and a mono-hydroxy alcohol with a carbon chain length higher than 4 C-atoms. The novel lubricant compositions are highly resistant to oxidative degradation and are capable of reducing the negative effects of deposits, such as black sludge, in motor combustion engines, particularly spark ignition internal combustion engines.

Filed:

Sep 29, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/162755

Inventors:

Walter Leon Jones - Asbury Park NJ
Alfonso Liu - Boonton NJ
James C. Robbins - Monmouth Junction NJ
Joseph Stefkovich - Franklin NJ

Assignee:

Whatman Inc. - Clifton NJ

International Classification:

B32B 106

US Classification:

428 641

Abstract:

In accordance with the invention, an SPE extraction apparatus is provided with a new SPE disk which eliminates radial wicking and weeping and new disk holding apparatus which minimizes the indirect flow region and minimizes the number of sample transfers required. The new SPE disk encapsulates the sorbent/fiber matrix between two porous outer layers which can be filters, united into an essentially non-porous rim around the disk perimeter. The disk holder and ring seal against this disk rim so that the active central portion of the disk is held entirely within the direct flow path. Thus weeping and indirect flow loss are virtually eliminated. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus eliminates the need to manually disassemble the apparatus while in use. Advantageously a flow control mechanism is incorporated into the disk holder to further minimize the amount of solvent needed for extraction.

Abstract:

Cell-specific ligands comprising conjugates of saccharides and amino acids or peptides are synthesized from amino acids such as ornithine, lysine, peptides such as dilysine, diornithine or oligolysine and selected saccharides having reactive functional groups protected by appropriate blocking groups. Such glycopeptides are useful as tissue specific substances, which when coupled with bioactive materials through metabolizable or hydrolyzable linkages, deliver such bioactive materials to the selected site. In this manner, antiinflammatory drugs such as dexamethasone are linked through a metabolizable or hydrolyzable linkage and on administration to an animal suffering from inflammatory disease carries the drug to the site of inflammation for intracellular release. Other examples include the macrophage ligand N. sup. 2 -N. sup. 2, N. sup. 6 -Bis-[3-(. alpha.
