  • Fluorosulfates of hexafluoroisobutylene and its higher homologs
    Patent number: 7276624
    Abstract: Hexafluoroisobutylene and its higher homologs are easily reacted with SO3 to give fluorosulfates of the formula CH2?C(R)CF2OSO2F, wherein R is a linear, branched or cyclic fluoroalkyl group comprised of 1 to 10 carbon atoms and may contain ether oxygen. These compounds react under mild conditions with many nucleophiles to give CH2?C(R)CF2X, where X is derived from the nucleophile. This reaction provides a route to many substituted hexafluoroisobutylenes, which copolymerize easily with other fluoro- and hydrocarbon monomers such as vinylidene fluoride and ethylene.

  • Tool-measuring apparatus for measuring a tool in a tool holder, and a tool holder
    Publication number: 20070214673
    Abstract: A tool-measuring device that measures a tool in a tool holder and that includes a measuring device and a processing device. The processing device controls the measuring device. The tool-measuring device measures a measuring point of the tool holder at a location relative to an apparatus point. In order to counter an error during the measurement of the tool, which error may be caused by a thermal change in size of the tool or of the tool holder or by an operator error, the processing device controls a measurement of a measuring point of the tool holder at another location and a position of a holder point of the tool holder relative to the apparatus point by the two measurements.

  • Polymerization of olefins
    Patent number: 7271231
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are processes for polymerizing ethylene, acyclic olefins, and/or selected cyclic olefins, and optionally selected olefinic esters or carboxylic acids, and other monomers. The polymerizations are catalyzed by selected transition metal compounds, and sometimes other co-catalysts. Since some of the polymerizations exhibit some characteristics of living polymerizations, block copolymers can be readily made. Many of the polymers produced are often novel, particularly in regard to their microstructure, which gives some of them unusual properties. Numerous novel catalysts are disclosed, as well as some novel processes for making them. The polymers made are useful as elastomers, molding resins, in adhesives, etc.
