Abstract:
An aircraft passenger seat position control apparatus is provided. The control apparatus includes a plurality of seat actuators operable to adjust the passenger seat to a selected one of a plurality of discrete seat positions and a touch-sensitive control interface having a plurality of touch-responsive sites thereon corresponding to the plurality of discrete seat positions. The control interface communicates with the plurality of seat actuators and is positioned in proximity to the aircraft passenger seat for use by a passenger seated in the passenger seat. The control interface is also adapted to output a signal to the plurality of seat actuators in response to a touch-selected position by the passenger to thereby adjust the position of the aircraft passenger seat to selected one of the plurality of discrete seat positions.
Abstract:
The invention relates to anti-skinning agents containing mixtures of organic compounds (combinations of additives), whereby the organic compounds are selected from the groups of (a) organic hydroxylamines and (b) alkylamines and/or alkyl alkanolamines and also relates to compositions containing the combination, especially oxidatively drying paints or coating compositions and article coated with such oxidatively drying paints or coating compositions.
Abstract:
The invention relates to isoascorbate anti-skinning agents and also relates to oxidatively drying paints or coating compositions containing isoascorbate material which acts as both an antiskinning agent and a metals dryer co-promoter.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a coating material, paint or finish which contains as anti-skinning agents a combination of at least one organic and/or inorganic oxygen scavengers and a nitrogen-containing aromatic compound and also relates to compositions containing the combination, especially oxidatively drying paints or coating compositions and articles coated with such oxidatively drying paints or coating compositions.
Abstract:
Compositions containing unsaturated fatty esters may be stabilized against atmospheric oxidation by the addition of an antioxidant package containing at least one nitroxide free-radical scavenger and at least one alkylalkanolamine. Compositions treated in this manner show good resistance to atmospheric oxidation and resultant viscosity increase. An advantage of the nitroxide free-radical scavenger is that it stops the oxidation of the unsaturated fatty esters already during the initiation stage. Moreover, it is much less volatile than for example the known alkylhydroxylamine oxygen scavengers. By the use of a nitroxide free-radical scavenger, the composition can thus be stabilized for a longer period of time. The stability period is moreover less affected by the supply of oxygen to the composition. The solubility problem of the nitroxide in the fatty ester component can be solved by dissolving the nitroxide first in the alkylalkanolamine.
Abstract:
Fuels containing biodiesel, petroleum distillates, or blends of these may be treated by the addition of small amounts of one or more alkanolamines according to formula (I) Rn—N(CH2CHR1OH)3-n ; (I) wherein n is 1 or 2, R1 is H or CH3, and each R is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and branched, linear, and cyclic C3-C24 alkyl groups, provided that at least one R is not hydrogen. Fuels treated in this manner may be less corrosive toward metals with which they are in contact.
Abstract:
Compositions containing unsaturated fatty esters may be stabilized against atmospheric oxidation by the addition of an antioxidant package containing a phenolic oxidant and a nonphenolic oxygen scavenger, which may be a hydroxylamine, an amine N-oxide, an oxime, or a nitrone. If an amine N-oxide is used, it may be used with or without a phenolic antioxidant. Compositions treated in this manner show good resistance to atmospheric oxidation and resultant viscosity increase.
