| 20100331800 | COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A FARNESENE INTERPOLYMER - Provided herein are composition comprising a farnesene interpolymer. The farnesene interpolymer can be derived from a farnesene and at least one vinyl monomer. In some embodiments, the mole percent ratio of the farnesene to the at least one vinyl monomer is from about 1:4 to about 100:1. In certain embodiments, the farnesene is α-farnesene, β-farnesene or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the at least one vinyl monomer is ethylene, an α-olefin such as styrene, or a substituted or unsubstituted vinyl halide, vinyl ether, acrylonitrile, acrylic ester, methacrylic ester, acrylamide or methacrylamide, or a combination thereof. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100331511 | FARNESENE INTERPOLYMER - Provided herein are farnesene interpolymers derived from a farnesene and at least one vinyl monomer. In certain embodiments, the farnesene is α-farnesene, β-farnesene or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the at least one vinyl monomer is ethylene, an α-olefin such as styrene, or a substituted or unsubstituted vinyl halide, vinyl ether, acrylonitrile, acrylic ester, methacrylic ester, acrylamide or methacrylamide, or a combination thereof. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100264162 | FUEL COMPOSITION DISPENSING SYSTEM - The invention provides methods and systems for selecting and blending conventional fuel components into fuel compositions using an input system and for supplying a selected fuel composition into a storage container. The methods and systems incorporate a mixer to mix at least one conventional petroleum-derived fuel component received from the conventional fuel component supply system with at least one second non-petroleum fuel component received from the second fuel component supply to form fuel compositions. The present invention provides for systems and methods of supplying selected blends of conventional petroleum fuel with a non-petroleum derived fuel to provide greater consumer accessibility for petroleum blended with alternative fuels. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100261942 | Microbial derived isoprene and methods for making the same - A method for producing isoprene comprising an aqueous medium including genetically modified host cells capable of producing isoprene, where the resulting isoprene composition is processed through at least one separation and/or purification process to provide an isoprene enriched composition and a system for doing the same. | 10-14-2010 |
