Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090299567Driver activity and vehicle operation logging and reporting - A method for logging and reporting driver activity and vehicle operation includes identifying a driver of a vehicle, recording operating data with an on-board recorder that is hard-wired to an engine control module, coupled to a mileage sensing system, and linked to a global navigation satellite system, and recording duty status of the driver. An hours of service log and a fuel tax log are created from the operating data. The method includes comparing the driver's hours of service log to an applicable requirement, indicating to the driver whether the driver is in-compliance or out-of-compliance with the applicable requirement, automatically uploading the logs to a receiver external to the vehicle using a wireless telecommunications network, and emitting a compliance signal representative of whether the driver is in-compliance or out-of-compliance with the applicable requirement to a second receiver external to the vehicle and under control of authorities.12-03-2009

20080227916Polyisobutene Polyol and Moulding Compound - An isobutene polymer which has an average of at least 1.4 terminal 1,3-propanediol groups is described, as is a crosslinking product thereof. Suitable crosslinkers are difunctional or higher-functionality isocyanates or epoxy compounds having at least two epoxide groups. The crosslinking products exhibit high storage moduli even at elevated temperatures.09-18-2008
20080227922Epoxidation of Isobutene Polymers - A process is described for epoxidizing an ethylenically unsaturated isobutene polymer, in which an organic phase comprising the isobutene polymer is contacted with an aqueous phase which comprises formic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The process affords essentially quantitative conversions after a short reaction time.09-18-2008
20100234542PREPARATION OF REACTIVE, ESSENTIALLY HALOGEN-FREE POLYISOBUTENES FROM C4-HYDROCARBON MIXTURES WHICH ARE LOW IN ISOBUTENE - The present invention relates to a process for preparing reactive and essentially halogen-free, especially fluorine-free, polyisobutenes from low-isobutene C09-16-2010

20090258689No dealer hand "21" - A process for playing “no dealer hand” Twenty-one is established where the uses of, or display of, at least one common deck of fifty-two cards is being applied for play action. This process is inclusive to either an encompassing video gaming apparatus or a live action table gaming environment, as accommodated for. In play action, the dealer's hand is replaced with the application of Trigger Numbers, ranging anywhere from Twelve (12) up to Twenty (20), and optional Push Numbers ranging anywhere from Twelve (12) up to Twenty (20). Through such an application, a more mathematically malleable and “broader core margin” percentage variance is provided for exploitation. Likewise, this broader core margin variance is made possible while simultaneously applying a seamlessly familiar playing experience for patrons. In so doing, the applicants' Trigger & Push Number solutions replacing the dealer's hand in play action, proffers a whole new frontier for the “Twenty-One” gaming procedure. As such, this procedure directly features significantly fatter core payoffs for winning hand tallies from the game's base mathematical mechanics for play while still providing for all the necessary elements of a sustainable alternative to the classic Blackjack workhorse for which the public can enthusiastically embrace.10-15-2009

20110177539COVALENTLY LINKED THERMOSTABLE KINASE FOR DECONTAMINATION PROCESS VALIDATION - A biological process indicator is provided for validating a treatment process in which the amount or activity of a contaminant in a sample is reduced. The indicator comprises a thermostable kinase covalently linked to a biological component, with the proviso that the biological component is not an antibody. Methods of preparing the indicator, and methods of using the indicator, are also provided.07-21-2011
