摘要:
This invention provides compositions suitable for treating fibrous substrates to render them durably resistant to dry soil and durably repellent to water and oil. One composition is an aqueous emulsion comprising: a dry soil resistant and water and oil repellent fluorochemical treatment and an effective amount of one or more fluorochemical surfactants wherein the surfactants comprising one or two fluorochemical groups and one or two water-solubilizing polar groups. Another composition is an aqueous emulsion comprising: a dry soil resistant and water and oil repellent fluorochemical treatment; an effective amount of one or more fluorochemical surfactants wherein the surfactants comprising one or two fluorochemical groups and one or two water-solubilizing polar groups; and one or more non-fluorinated additives. A third composition is an aqueous emulsion comprising: a dry soil resistant and water and oil repellent fluorochemical treatment comprising one or more fluorine-free extender compounds, and an effective amount of one or more fluorochemical surfactants wherein the surfactants comprising one or two fluorochemical groups and one or two water-solubilizing polar groups.

Ceramic honeycomb structures and methods to make the same are disclosed. The structures may be comprised of at least two separate smaller ceramic honeycombs that have been coated with a polymer to create a polymeric barrier coating and adhered together with a cement comprised of inorganic fibers and a binding phase which is comprised of amorphous silicate, aluminite or alumino silicate glass and other inorganic particles. The polymer is selected such that it is penetratable into or covering the pores in the honeycomb structure to form a thin barrier layer thereon to mitigate migration of the inorganic fibers, binding phase and water into the pores. The polymer is adapted to be burned off or decomposed at or below cement and honeycomb skin firing temperatures, or at or below honeycomb operating temperatures during application to create a honeycomb structure that, when formed into an exhaust filter, does not have any undesired pressure drop increase due to cement migration.

摘要:
In a multinode data processing system in which the nodes communicate with one another via communication adapters over a network or switch, the adapters are provided with a dual register mechanism for tracking microcode task status. Upon the issuance of a disruptive command that requires attention from one of the nodes, the task status maintained in one register is copied to the snapshot register. As tasks within the adapter are completed, both registers are updated, thus providing a mechanism for the nodes to determine that all tasks active at the time of the disruptive command have completed. This means that the nodes now have a mechanism for determining, as soon as possible, that all tasks that are active when a disruptive command occurs have completed, thus allowing the data processing node to perform such operations as releasing system memory that is associated with the disruptive command, thus eliminating temporal overhead that can affect performance.
摘要:
A method of treating a hydrocarbon-bearing formation that includes receiving data comprising a temperature and a brine composition of the hydrocarbon-bearing formation; selecting a treatment composition for the hydrocarbon-bearing formation comprising a fluorinated compound and solvent, wherein, at the temperature, a mixture of an amount of the brine composition and the treatment composition separates into at least two separate transparent liquid layers, and wherein the mixture is free of precipitated solid; and contacting the hydrocarbon-bearing formation with the treatment composition. Compositions containing certain fluorinated polymers and solvents containing water, monohydroxy alcohols, and ketones are also disclosed.

Methods of treating articles using a compound represented by formula: (I) wherein each of X and Y is independently a thiol, a halogen, a hydrogen, a hydroxyl, a hydroalkyl, a carboxylic acid, an aldehyde, a carboxylic ester, or a carboxamide; R′ is hydrogen, alkyl, or aryl; and x and y are each independently 0 to 10, wherein x+y is at least 1 and articles treated by such methods. In some embodiments, the article is a hydrocarbon-bearing formation. In some embodiments, the article is a particle, and the method further comprises treating the article with a fluorochemical comprising at least one fluoroaliphatic segment and at least one hydrophilic segment. In some embodiments, the method is used to treat a well bore.
摘要:
An improved soot catalyst is comprised of an alkali compound at least partially coated by a ceramic coating comprised of C bonded to a metal, semimetallic element or combination thereof. The improved soot catalyst may be employed in catalyzed Diesel particulate filters. In one method to make a catalyzed Diesel particulate filter, the improved filter is made by contacting a porous ceramic body having an alkali catalyst thereon, coating the alkali catalyst with an organic ceramic precursor, heating the ceramic body to a temperature in an atmosphere sufficient to decompose the organic ceramic precursor to form the soot catalyst on the porous ceramic body without volatilizing substantial amount of the alkali catalyst away.
摘要:
A method for inter-process communication between non-persistent application instances includes establishing a first non-persistent application instance serving a first party and establishing a second non-persistent application instance serving a second party. In the first application instance, an HTML page is generated having instructions for a persistent browser instance having received the HTML page to initiate a new application session for the second party. Thus, inter-application communication is possible where one non-persistent application instance is able to notify and/or interrupt another non-persistent application instance by way of an associated real time component (web browser or proxy browser).
摘要:
Described are coating compositions for treating substrates such as hard and soft surfaces to render the surfaces oil and water repellent, as well as stain and dirt resistant. The compositions described include three component systems in an organic solvent, where the components include a hydrolyzable perfluoropolyetherisocyanate derived silane, and to non-fluorinated components such as alkoxy silanes, one optionally containing a reactive functional group.
