Abstract: A seating structure includes a base, a seat supported by the base, and a backrest having a frame and a suspension material supported by the frame. The frame includes an upper end and a lower end opposite the upper end. The seating structure also includes an upper thoracic support assembly supported by the frame adjacent the upper end. The upper thoracic support assembly including a thoracic support pad positioned between the frame and the suspension material. The thoracic support pad configured to engage the suspension material to support an upper thoracic region of a user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a post-treated salt of a sulfurized alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic composition which is a reaction product of (a) a salt of a sulfurized alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic composition, wherein the alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic compound is derived from alkylation of a hydroxyaromatic compound with one or more olefins comprising C9 to C18 oligomers of monomers selected from propylene, butylene or mixtures thereof, (b) a source of an aldehyde and (c) a primary and/or secondary monoamine compound having at least one active hydrogen. The post-treated salt of a sulfurized alkylhydroxyaromatic composition disclosed herein has a reduced content of unsulfurized alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic compound and its unsulfurized metal salt as compared to the content, by combined mass, of the unsulfurized alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic compound and its unsulfurized metal salt present in the non-post-treated salt of a sulfurized alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic composition.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for preparing a salt of a sulfurized alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic composition having a reduced content of unsulfurized alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic compound and its unsulfurized metal salt.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lubricating oil composition displaying reduced endocrine disruption response, comprising a major amount of an oil of lubricating viscosity; and a detergent comprising an unsulfurized alkali or alkaline earth metal salt of a reaction product of (1) an olefin having at least 10 carbon atoms, wherein greater than 80 mole % of the olefin is a linear C20-C30 n-alpha olefin, wherein less than 10 mole % of the olefin is a linear olefin of less than 20 carbon atoms, and wherein less than 5 mole % of the olefin is branched chain olefin of 18 carbons or less, and (2) a hydroxyaromatic compound.

Abstract: A process for preparing alkylhydroxybenzoate detergent-dispersant additives having low sulfur content and high TBN is described. The alkali metal alkylhydroxylbenzoate, alkaline earth metal alkylhydroxybenzoate and overbased alkaline earth metal alkylhydroxybenzoate reaction products described have a sulfur content in the range of from about 0.1 to 1.2 wt % are effective anti-corrosive detergent-dispersant additives in lubricating oil compositions.

Abstract: An improved process for making stabilized polyalkenyl sulfonic acids, whereby the product resulting from the reaction between a polyalkene and sulfur trioxide is stabilized by neutralizing with a neutralizing agent prior to storage or further processing. Neutralization at this point in the process results in polyalkenyl sulfonic acid that is stable and has a decreased amount of sultones.
