Assignee:

N7 Systems, LLC - Colleyville TX

International Classification:

G08B 13/08

Abstract:

A system, method, and apparatus for monitoring and detecting movement of components of a shipping container latch. A latch monitor may embody an electromagnetic sensing unit and a nearby magnet or light emitter for measuring and characterizing the profile of a nearby electromagnetic field. The field profile is monitored to detect a change in the profile, log the change, and report any abnormal disturbance to the electromagnetic field, indicating a breach of the integrity of a latching mechanism on a shipping container. An alert of a breach event may be sent via a communication network to an authority for response. The invention can distinguish authorized, incidental, and tampering events, and also store and upload an electronic manifest for a shipping container.

Filed:

May 14, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/054121

Inventors:

John P. Doner - Sewell NJ
Andrew G. Horodysky - Cherry Hill NJ
John A. Keller - Pitman NJ

Assignee:

Mobil Oil Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

C10M11316

US Classification:

252 49

Abstract:

Disclosed is a grease composition comprising a major proportion of a grease, a hydroxy-containing soap thickener and a minor amount of a boronated oxazoline compound. The hydroxy-containing soap thickener and boronated oxazoline compound are each added in amounts sufficient to increase the dropping point of the grease an appreciable amount. Generally this can be an increase of at least 15. degree. F. and could be as great as 200. degree. F. to 250. degree. F. or more. Sulfur and phosphorus compounds can also be incorporated into the composition.
