Abstract:
A lubricated surface, a method for reducing wear between moving parts, and lubricants, and lubricant additive concentrates containing a wear reducing agent. The lubricated surface contains a base oil of lubricating viscosity, a hydrocarbon soluble titanium compound, a metal-free friction modifier and an amount of at least one hydrocarbon soluble magnesium compound effective to provide a reduction in surface wear greater than a reduction surface wear for a lubricant composition devoid of the titanium compound, metal-free friction modifier, and magnesium compound. The lubricant composition contains no more than about 800 ppm phosphorus and is devoid of calcium detergents and organic molybdenum compound.
Abstract:
A method for reducing a friction coefficient adjacent a lubricated surface, and a lubricant composition for reducing a friction coefficient between lubricated surfaces. The method includes providing an amount of metal-containing dispersed in a fully formulated lubricant composition containing a base oil of lubricating viscosity, wherein the nanoparticles have an average particles size ranging from about 1 to about 10 nanometers. The lubricant composition containing the metal-containing nanoparticles is applied to a surface to be lubricated.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a lubricant composition comprising a base oil comprising a reduced total amount of cyclobenzene as compared to another base oil. Methods of using the lubricant composition for preventing and/or reducing the deposit formation in an engine are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A lubricant composition comprising a detergent and a base oil comprising less than about 3% by weight of tetracycloparaffins is disclosed. Methods of making and using the composition are also disclosed.
Abstract:
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:
Lubricated surfaces, lubricant compositions for lubricating a surface, and methods for increasing antiwear properties in lubricants. The lubricated surface is provided by a lubricant composition including a base oil of lubricating viscosity, at least one metal salt of phosphorothioic acid, and an amount of at least one hydrocarbon soluble titanium compound effective to provide an increase in antiwear properties of the lubricant composition. A ratio of titanium metal to phosphorus in the antiwear agent ranges from about 0.3:1 to about 1.5:1.
