| 20080275267 | Plasticiser Esters - Esters produced by the catalyzed reaction of alcohols and acids or anhydrides are neutralized by treatment with an aqueous alkaline alkali metal salt solution in an amount that provides less than a stoichiometric amount of alkali metal salt in relation to the acidity of the crude ester and the amount of water present during the treatment is from 0.8 to 1.4 wt % of water based on the weight of crude ester. When using titanium as the esterification catalyst, the ester resulting from this process contains less than 0.01 ppm by weight of titanium residue, so that it is storage stable when stored in the presence of an antioxidant. | 11-06-2008 |

| 20110009548 | OIL BASED POLYOLS OR DIACIDS ESTERIFIED WITH OXO-ACIDS OR OXO-ALCOHOLS FOR PRODUCING PLASTICIZERS - Oxo-diesters of cyclic olefins, methods of making them and their use as plasticizers in polymer compositions are disclosed. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110160371 | AROMATIC ACYLATION WITH CYCLIC ANHYDRIDE FOR PLASTICIZER PRODUCTION - Provided is a process for making non-phthalate plasticizers, by acylating an aromatic compound with a succinic anhydride to form a keto-acid, and then esterifying the keto-acid with C | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110165355 | Process For Making Polyol Neoalkylester Plasticizers From Neo Acids - Provided are compositions, processes for making, and processes for using neoalkyl polyol esters and triglycerides as plasticizers. In one form, a neoalkylester triglyceride plasticizers can be produced by (i) drying a polyol feedstream; (ii) contacting in a reactor the dried polyol feedstream with a neoacid feedstream under effective temperature, pressure and time to form a neoalkylester plasticizer effluent stream, and (iii) purifying the neoalkylester plasticizer effluent stream to remove unreacted polyol and unreacted neoacid to form a neoalkylester plasticizer. Such plasticizers can be phthalate-free and provide outstanding properties including a suitable melting or pour point, glass transition temperature, low volatility, increased compatibility, increased hydrolytic stability, and excellent low temperature properties in a range of polymeric resins. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110184105 | Phenylene Oxo-Diester Plasticizers and Methods of Making - A process for making non-phthalate, 1,2-phenylene oxo-diester plasticizers for polymer compositions, by selectively hydrogenating naphthalene to form a partially hydrogenated naphthalene, oxygenating said partially hydrogenated naphthalene to form phenylene diacids, and esterifying said phenylene diacids with oxo-alcohols to form 1,2-phenylene oxo-diesters. Also a process for making phenylene oxo-diester plasticizers by selectively brominating xylenes to form bisbromomethylbenzene, catalytic carboalkoxylation of the bromo-compound to form phenylene diacetate, followed by transesterification to form the phenylene oxo-diester. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110281987 | Polymer Compositions Comprising Terephthalates - The invention is directed to plasticized compositions comprising esters of terephthalic acid, particularly PVC compositions. | 11-17-2011 |

A handheld device collects a first set of data and a second set of data associated with the remotely located equipment. The handheld device compares the first set of data with the second set of data, and based at least on the comparison, identifies one or more data integrity problems associated with the remotely located equipment. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090013028 | Apparatus And Method For Monitoring And Control Of Remotely Located Equipment - A remote data acquisition and transmission system for vending machines may be provided. The system may comprise a vending machine and at least one host device. The vending machine may comprise a vending machine controller; and an Internet Protocol (IP) network interface operable to communicate operation data to and from the vending machine controller. The at least one host device may be communicatively coupled to the IP network interface via at least one IP network, and the host device may be operable to communicate operation data to and from the IP network interface. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090113038 | Systems and Methods for Monitoring Performance of Field Assets - A system and method for monitoring performance of field assets are disclosed. A method may include transmitting packets on a shared bus located in a field asset may be captured. The captured packets may be analyzed to determine one or more operational parameters associated with one or more peripheral devices coupled to the shared bus. The one or more operational parameters may be analyzed to determine an operational efficiency of the field asset. | 04-30-2009 |
