  • Process for a continuous production of polyetherols
    Patent number: 8957257
    Abstract: A process for a continuous production of a polyetherol first involves reacting a catalyst (5) with an alcohol starter (3) or an alkoxylated precursor, to give a mixture comprising an alcoholate and water. Water is then removed from the mixture. The process further involves feeding the alcoholate into a bubble column and feeding an alkylene oxide into the bottom of a compartment of the bubble column, such that the alkylene oxide rises in the alcoholate. The alkylene oxide then reacts with the alcoholate or a secondary product from the reaction between the alcoholate and alkylene oxide, to give the polyetherol.

  • Energy absorbing bracket for a seat of a vehicle
    Patent number: 8955906
    Abstract: A bracket is used to couple together a seating frame member and a back frame member of a seat of a vehicle. The bracket comprises a periphery and a central longitudinal axis dividing the bracket into a front portion and a rear portion. The front portion of the bracket defines a yield segment for plastically deforming when a force above a predetermined value is applied to the back frame member. Plastically deforming the yield segment reduces an impact force transferred from the seat to an occupant. The periphery of the rear portion of the bracket includes a first contact surface and a second contact surface spaced from the first contact surface. The first contact surface moves into contact with the second contact surface as the yield segment plastically deforms thereby restricting the plastic deformation of the yield segment.
