Patent number: 6428753Abstract: A method of forming a decorative candle. The method comprises providing a candle which is fabricated from a wax material that defines a top surface. Next, a source of heat is applied to the candle until at least that portion of the wax which defines the top surface thereof is melted. Then at least one gelatinous component formed from a mineral oil gel is placed onto the top surface such that the component is at least partially inserted into the molten wax. The candle is allowed to cool thereby hardening the molten wax and securing the gelatinous component. The melting point of the gelatinous component is higher than the melting point of the wax such that the component will not melt when placed upon the molten wax.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2001Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Inventor: Faith Freeman

Patent number: 5759857Abstract: Leakage in a heat exchanger between two liquids which are in indirect heat exchange relationship is detected by marking one of the two liquids with a colorless chemical marker and detecting it in the second liquid by extraction and conversion to a colored material. The heat exchanger liquids are preferably organic liquids which are immiscible with water. The marker is detected in a heat exchanger liquid by extraction of the marker followed by chemical conversion of the marker to a colored material that can be detected visually. Aminoalkylnaphthalenes are suitable markers which can be extracted by an acidic aqueous solution and converted to a colored material by reaction with a diazotized aromatic amine. Phenylazoalkylphenol derivatives are also suitable markers which can be extracted and simultaneously converted to a colored material with a detection reagent which is comprised of water and a water-soluble amine.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 1996Date of Patent: June 2, 1998Assignee: Amoco CorporationInventors: Shri K. Goyal, Terrence A. Renner, Ashok K. Jhawar

Patent number: 4822380Abstract: A clean and attractive carbonaceous fuel product is provided for improved convenience and marketability. Coal or charcoal can be coated with a clean and durable coating for cleanliness in handling; and, the coating can be colored as desired. Further, a metal salt can be added to the coating or the product itself to color the flame while the product burns. Paraffin can be used as the coating, and the paraffin is maintained above its melting point to improve gloss. Other additives can also improve gloss. Coal is preferably coated with latex to provide an attractive coating that will prevent breaking of the coal. A flammable liquid can be incorporated into charcoal briquettes for easier lighting; and, the liquid reduces the amount of paraffin used in the coating. A masking agent hides the odor of the flammable liquid, the masking agent being in the coating rather than in the flammable liquid itself.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1987Date of Patent: April 18, 1989Inventor: C. B. Fehrler Young
