US Patent:

51320355, Jul 21, 1992

Filed:

Feb 8, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/653749

Inventors:

Karl A. Hoenke - Martinez CA
Jay D. Rynbrandt - San Rafael CA

Assignee:

General Atomics International Services Corporation - San Diego CA

International Classification:

C09K 318

US Classification:

252 70

Abstract:

Compositions which comprises a major amount of an alkaline earth or alkali metal carboxylate, a minor amount of unreacted base and impurities, and an effective anti-staining amount of an organic chelating agent are useful as non-staining deicing compositions for use on airport runways and taxiways. The preferred alkaline earth carboxylate is calcium magnesium acetate and the preferred chelating agent is EDTA. Processes for preparation of such compositions are described.

US Patent:

Filed:

Jun 26, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/277521

Inventors:

Jay D. Rynbrandt - San Rafael CA

Assignee:

Chevron Research Company - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

B60L 902

US Classification:

180 21

Abstract:

An electrically powered vehicle transportation system including improvements in an electrified roadway system and a vehicle for operation on the roadway. The roadway is energized in response to the presence of a vehicle having certain control systems and only when that vehicle satisfies certain predetermined conditions which provide safety features for foot traffic on the roadway system. The vehicle includes means for controlling energization of the roadway in response to actions and demands within the vehicle. Automatic control means are provided to maintain the vehicle in alignment with the roadway energization system.

Filed:

Jul 1, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/278012

Inventors:

Jay D. Rynbrandt - San Rafael CA

Assignee:

Chevron Research Company - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

F02B 7508

US Classification:

123668

Abstract:

For the more efficient operation of both spark- and compression-ignited internal combustion engines, and/or control of octane requirement increase in spark-ignited internal combustion engines, at least a portion of the surfaces of the intake manifold exposed to the fuel-air mixture, and/or the combustion chamber exposed to combustion, are fabricated from coated with a material having the combination of thermal conductance and thermal penetration which permits the temperature of said surface during the combustion process to be in excess of the temperature at which deposits form and said surface storing insufficient heat to substantially raise the temperature of the incoming air-fuel charge during the engine intake and compression stroke.

Appl. No.:

7/679647

Inventors:

Jay D. Rynbrandt - San Rafael CA
Karl A. Hoenke - Martinez CA

Assignee:

General Atomics International Services Corporation - San Diego CA

International Classification:

C09K 318

US Classification:

252 70

Abstract:

Improved deicing compositions are provided which comprise calcium magnesium and potassium acetate containing up to about 50% potassium acetate which have improved melting properties as compared to calcium magnesium acetate deicing compositions.
