  • Patent number: 5042831
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an adjustable length vehicle chassis having front and rear reach beams and a center beam, and in which the center beam is telescopically slidable into the reach beams and one reach beam is telescopically slidable into the other reach beam to attain minimum length adjustments of the chassis. One of the reach beams also includes a longitudinal slot extending substantially over its length to permit fractional length adjustments over a wide variety of lengths between maximum and minimum chassis lengths.

  • Patent number: 5043458
    Abstract: A continuous, gas-assisted atmospheric process for preparing cyclic esters of alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acids, such as lactide, which comprises feeding the reactants into a reactor having means for introducing an inert gas at the operating temperature, forming a reaction mass having cyclic esters in the reactor, passing a flow of said inert gas through said reactor whereby cyclic esters are swept from the reaction mass into a gaseous product stream, and recovering the cyclic esters therefrom.

  • Patent number: 5043490
    Abstract: Novel 1,1,2-trifluorodienes, which have a minimum of seven carbon atoms and may contain in their molecule a phenylene or a methylphenylene moiety, are useful monomers, that can be polymerized in the presence of either free radical or coordination catalysts and can undergo selective reactions such, as for example, epoxidation of the vinyl (nonfluorinated) double bond. The resulting perfluorovinyl epoxy compounds also are useful monomers, which can undergo polymerization to useful materials.
