The boundary friction properties of lubricating oils are improved by including at least one polymeric ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymer derived dispersant and a molybdenum compound into a lubricating oil of a lubricating viscosity. A concentrate for addition into an oil of lubricating viscosity is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A self contained set of imaging apparatus which permit an excised tissue to be handled, inked, imaged in radiology and transported to pathology untouched by human hands. Absolute margins of tissue are inked by solution injected into sealed, disposable bag from syringe attached to the bag. Inked tissue is removed from bag and placed upon fluid-absorbent blotter inscribed with radiographically opaque grid, inside of transparent container. Hinged top and bottom panels of liquid-tight container secure tissue in place. Tissue is visible from outside of container during transport, x-ray imaging, and subsequent pathologic evaluation. Further, the image presented to the pathologist with the inked tissue permits extremely accurate identification of locations of suspect element. The pathologist can easily view the enclosed, undisturbed sample and associated radiograph prior to dissection which can be done within said apparatus if so desired.
Abstract:
A dispersant additive composition, a lubricant composition containing the dispersant additive, a transmission containing the dispersant additive, and a method of providing a versatile lubricating fluid. The dispersant includes a reaction product of a hydrocarbyl substituted carboxylic acid or anhydride and an amine. The reaction product has a nitrogen content up to 10,000 ppm by weight, and a boron plus phosphorus to nitrogen ((B+P)/N) weight ratio of from 0:1 to about 0.8:1. The dispersant additive composition is effective to provide an electrical conductivity to a lubricant composition containing the dispersant additive composition and a metal detergent of less than about 1700 pS/m.
