Title: Direct synthesis method for the production of etherified melamine resin condensates, melamine resin condensates, and use thereof
Inventor: PFEIFFER STEFFEN
IPC: C08G12/42
Filed: 2003-12-18
Granted: 2011-11-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a direct synthesis method for producing etherified melamine resin condensates having average molar masses of 500 to 50,000. Said method is characterized by the fact that a) an etherified melamine resin precondensate is produced in an alcoholic solution in a first reaction step; b) the etherified melamine resin precondensate is concentrated in an alcoholic solution in at least one condensation step, C4 to C18 alcohols, diols of type HO-R-OH, and/or tetravalent alcohols that are based on erythritol being added to the melamine resin precondensate during and/or following the concentration process; c) the concentrated melamine resin precondensate is reacted by means of a mixer, especially a kneader, in a second reaction step. The inventive method allows melamine resin condensates having average molar masses of 500 to 50,000 to be produced, said melamine resin condensates being free of hydroxymethyleneamino groups that are bonded to the triazine rings and -NH-CH2-O-CH2-NH- groups which link the triazine rings.

Abstract: The present invention provides improvements in absorbent products, but is particularly useful with urinary incontinence pads. An embossed pattern on the bottom layer of the double layer absorbent core construction improves the removal of urine or other fluids from the discharge zone to be ready for next void. One or more V-shaped notches cut at both ends of the pad provides the ergonomic fit of the pad to reduce the inevitable stiffness. The sides are designed as a flap which curves during the sealing process and provide natural curved flaps which form a soft gasket cushion and yields extra leak protection in the crotch area.

Title: Guidance system and method for surgical procedures with improved feedback
Inventor: QUAID ARTHUR E
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2004-07-16
Granted: 2012-12-04
Abstract: It is often desirable to define objects with respect to images of an anatomy displayed using an image guided surgery system. For non-trivial objects, or those with complicated two or three dimensional forms, it may be difficult to present information in a manner that is simple for a user to understand. The local distance to a surface of interest, such as the surface of the defined object, or to a desired position, the local penetration distance of the surface of interest, or haptic repulsion force, often provides the most useful information for augmenting the interaction of the user with the image guided surgery system. The scalar value of the local distance may be conveyed to the user by visual, audio, tactile, haptic, or other means.

Title: Hydroprocessing method and system for upgrading heavy oil using a colloidal or molecular catalyst
Inventor: LOTT ROGER K
IPC: B01J35/00
Filed: 2005-04-28
Granted: 2013-09-24
Abstract: Methods and systems for hydroprocessing heavy oil feedstocks to form an upgraded material involve the use of a colloidal or molecular catalyst dispersed within a heavy oil feedstock, a hydrocracking reactor, and a hot separator. The colloidal or molecular catalyst promotes hydrocracking and other hydroprocessing reactions within the hydrocracking reactor. The catalyst is preferentially associated with asphaltenes within the heavy oil feedstock, which promotes upgrading reactions involving the asphaltenes rather than formation of coke precursors and sediment. The colloidal or molecular catalyst overcomes problems associated with porous supported catalysts in upgrading heavy oil feedstocks, particularly the inability of such catalysts to effectively process asphaltene molecules. The result is one or more of reduced equipment fouling, increased conversion level, and more efficient use of the supported catalyst if used in combination with the colloidal or molecular catalyst.
