US Patent:

20020047010, Apr 25, 2002

Filed:

Nov 9, 2001

Appl. No.:

10/010253

Inventors:

James Brennan - Moorestown NJ, US

International Classification:

B65D088/00

US Classification:

220/001500

Abstract:

A shipping box or platform having a bottom with rails extending outwardly from the sides thereof adjacent the bottom is locked down onto the floor of an aircraft by a pair of spaced apart elongated locking members mounted on the floor. The distance between the locking members limits the width of the bottom of the shipping box or platform. In order to increase the size of the box or platform, the side walls extend outwardly beyond the width of the bottom. The lockdown rails are thus recessed beneath the side walls of the box or platform.

International Classification:

B65D019/38

US Classification:

108/054100, 108/051110

Abstract:

A shipping pallet comprises a rectangular planar base member having two opposing ends and two opposing sides. Pivotally connected to one of the ends of the base member is a handle member that is adapted to be pivoted from a stored position, wherein the handle member is folded on top of the base member, to an operative position, wherein the handle member extends upwardly from the base member. The under surface of the base member includes a pair of elongated spaced apart pockets that extend the length of the base member on either side of the center line thereof. An elongated rail is associated with each of the pockets. Hydraulic rams or other power devices move the rails between a first position wherein they are within the pockets so that the planar base member of the pallet rests directly on a support surface and a second position where the rails extend downwardly to support the pallet thereon. The pallets and handle members are so configured and dimensioned so that the handle fits between the elongated rails of the pallet positioned directly above or within a recess of that pallet so as not to interfere with the ability to stack a plurality of pallets on top of each other.

Appl. No.:

11/103980

Inventors:

James Brennan - Newark DE, US

International Classification:

C08F283/00

US Classification:

525419000

Abstract:

An apparatus which comprises two compositions in contact with one another is described. The first composition comprises poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol terephthalate) and a minor amount of poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate), while the second composition comprises an organic polymeric material. The use of the first composition allows for better adhesion between the two compositions. A process for making such an apparatus by first forming a shaped part from the first composition and then contacting that shaped part with the second composition is also described. The apparatus may be used to encapsulate electrical and electronic parts, and for other uses.

Appl. No.:

6/229068

Inventors:

James F. Brennan - Newark DE

Assignee:

E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

G03C 500

US Classification:

430306

Abstract:

Photosensitive elements comprising a layer of a solvent-soluble, thermoplastic, elastomeric, block copolymer, a nongaseous ethylenically unsaturated compound, and an addition polymerization initiator activatable by actinic light interposed between a support and cover sheet, a flexible polymeric film, e. g. , polyamide, being interposed between the cover sheet and the surface of the layer. The elements are useful in preparing printing plates, particularly flexographic printing plates, and other relief images.

Appl. No.:

5/970590

Assignee:

Mobil Oil Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

B01J 2906
B01D 1506

US Classification:

252455Z

Abstract:

A method is disclosed for the treatment of single particle iron-containing syngas (synthes. s gas) conversion catalysts comprising iron, a crystalline acidic aluminosilicate zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio of at least 12, a pore size greater than about 5 Angstrom units and a constraint index of about 1-12 and a matrix. The catalyst does not contain promoters and the treatment is applicable to either the regeneration of said spent single particle iron-containing catalyst or for the initial activation of fresh catalyst. The treatment involves air oxidation, hydrogen reduction, followed by a second air oxidation and contact of the iron-containing single particle catalyst with syngas prior to its use for the catalytic conversion of said syngas. The single particle iron-containing catalysts are prepared from a water insoluble organic iron compound.

International Classification:

C07C 104

US Classification:

518700

Abstract:

A process for removing catalyst fines from the wax product produced in a slurry Fischer-Tropsch reactor comprises removing the wax product from the reactor and separating the catalyst fines by passing the wax product through a high gradient magnetic field, whereby the catalyst fines are held by a magnetized filter element and the wax product passes through unhindered to form a purified wax product which is ready for upgrading. The separated catalyst fines are returned to the reactor by backwashing the filter element.

US Classification:

Abstract:

Certain acidic heterogeneous catalysts produce large yields of benzene, toluene and xylene from alkyl aromatics of at least nine carbon atoms by a mechanism different from the classical disproportionation reaction characteristic of acid catalysts. These catalysts are characterized by a zeolite of the ZSM-5 type or zeolite ZSM-12 or zeolite ZSM-21. The reaction has the unique function of providing aliphatic by-products of higher molecular weight than is to be expected by splitting side chains from benzene rings. Typically, aromatic mixtures so derived from such charge stocks have unusually low content of ethyl benzene, thus greatly simplifying separation of xylene isomers.
