Abstract: Novel multifunctional unsaturated polyester polyols, UV-curable top coat formulations including these polyols, and a one-step process for preparing these polyols, are disclosed. Surface coverings and surface covering components including these top coat formulations are also disclosed. The polyols are generally formed by the ring opening polymerization of a lactone with a compound of the formula (R1)aR(OH)b, where a + b > 2. R1 is a double bond-containing moiety such as allyl, vinyl, vinylidene, vinyl ether, acrylate, and the like. R is generally an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, ether or ester group, including substituted versions thereof. R can be a polymer, including polymers with a plurality of functional groups. Examples of lactone groups which can be used include caprolactone, lactide and glycolide. The polyols can be used in 100% solids, solvent and water based radiation cured coatings, thermal cured coatings, dual cure (thermal with UV/e-beam, or UV/e-beam with thermal curing) coatings, and other types of coatings. These new resins enhance coating performance due to their multi-functional groups in the polymer chain.

Title: Modified thermal processing of heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks
Inventor: FREEL BARRY
IPC: C10G9/28
Filed: 2003-10-10
Abstract: The present invention is directed to the upgrading of heavy petroleum oils of high viscosity and low API gravity that are typically not suitable for pipelining without the use of diluents. It utilizes a short residence-time pyrolytic reactor operating under conditions that result in a rapid pyrolytic distillation with coke formation. Both physical and chemical changes taking place lead to an overall molecular weight reduction in the liquid product and rejection of certain components with the byproduct coke. The liquid product is upgraded primarily because of its substantially reduced viscosity, increased API gravity, and the content of middle and light distillate fractions. While maximizing the overall liquid yield, the improvements in viscosity and API gravity can render the liquid product suitable for pigelining without the use of diluents. This invention particularly relates to reducing sulfur emissions during the combustion of byproduct coke (or coke and gas), to reducing the total acid number (TAN) of the liquid product, and to reducing the hydrogen sulfide content of one, or more than one component of the product stream. The method comprises introducing a particulate heat carrier into an up-flow reactor, introducing the feedstock at a location above the entry of the particulate heat carrier, allowing the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock to interact with the heat carrier for a short time, separating the vapors of the . product stream from the particulate heat carrier and liquid and byproduct solid matter, regenerating the particulate heat carrier in the presence of the calcium compound, and collecting a gaseous and liquid product from the product stream.

Title: Outboard motor steering system
Inventor: OTOBE TAIICHI
IPC: B63H25/30
Filed: 2004-01-14
Abstract: An outboard motor steering system for an outboard motor mounted on a stern of a boat and having an internal combustion engine at its upper portion and a propeller with a rudder at its lower portion powered by the engine to propel and steer the boat. The system includes a swivel shaft installed in the outboard motor, a swivel case fixed to the outboard motor and rotatably accommodating the swivel shaft, and a hydraulic actuator connected to the swivel shaft to rotate it. The actuator has a shape whose height is larger than its width and is installed in such a manner that a direction of the height is in parallel with a vertical direction, so as to remain within a profile of the outboard motor, obtained by looking down the outboard motor from downward, regardless of a steered angle of the outboard motor. Specifically, the actuator is two hydraulic cylinders installed in an over--under manner or an elliptic hydraulic cylinder having a plurality of piston rods installed in the same manner. With this, it can enhance the output of the actuator to increase the steering force (torque), can prevent the actuator from projecting outside the profile, and can avoid constriction of the space around the outboard motor.
