Abstract: Disclosed is a wood preservative composition comprising creosote and/or pentachlorophenol (PCP) and one or more unsaturated fatty esters. The composition is useful for reducing insect and microbial decay in wood. Further disclosed are methods of making and using such a composition and wood treated with such a composition.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of reducing insect and microbial decay in wood. The method comprises the steps of: a) immersing the wood in a treatment solution comprising i) a C1-C6monoalkanolamine ester of boric acid (e.g., monoethanolamine ester of boric acid) and ii) creosote; and b) exposing the immersed wood from step a) to conditions which cause the release of boron from the C1-C6 monoalkanolamine ester of boric acid (monoethanolamine ester of boric acid) and which cause the boron to migrate into the interior of the wood.

Abstract: In a vehicle, a first recess portion extending in a vehicle widthwise direction is located in a boundary portion between a hood portion and a front bumper portion. A second recess portion is located in each of headlight portions. A third recess portion extending in the front-rear direction is located in each of front fender portions. The upper edges of the first, second, and third recess portions define a ridge line which projects toward the outside of the vehicle body and extends from the center in the vehicle widthwise direction to the vehicle body rear side beyond the lower end of a pillar portion through position lamp portions. The ridge line is defined by a first overhang portion of the hood portion, a lamp cover of each of the position lamp portions, and a bulge portion of each of the front fender portions.

Abstract: Provided is a wood treatment composition comprising a reaction product produced by reacting a mixture, which includes creosote and a fatty ester component, in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. The reaction mixture may optionally include bunker oil and/or a borate ester. The mixture may comprise i) at least about 85 wt % creosote; and ii) at least about 1 wt % of an ester component containing one or more C8-C50 fatty esters. Also provided are wood treated with the composition and methods for using the composition to treat wood.

Abstract: Disclosed is a wood preservative composition comprising: an ester of boric acid; pentachlorophenol (PCP); and American Wood Preservative Association's (AWPA) P9 Type A solvent. The composition is useful for reducing insect and microbial decay in wood. Further disclosed are methods of making and using such compositions.

Abstract: This invention concerns a novel pickling apparatus for removing oxides from the surface of a plurality of parallel laterally spaced wires, continuously moving axially through an enclosed pickling area. The pickling area encompasses one or more sections of turbulent hot acid (hydrochloric or other) pickling liquor submerging the wires. Each section essentially comprises a flooded turbulent processing tray, corrosion resistant centrifugal re-circulating pump, lower reservoir tank and wire wiping components. The pickling fluid is pumped from the lower reservoir tank into the processing tray through laterally (with respect to wire direction) mounted headers. Each header has a plurality of holes to discharge the fluid into the process tray in highly turbulent manner. Weirs at each end of the tray support the wires and flood the tray.

Abstract: A cabin structure for a vehicle has a monocoque construction and includes a support floor having a longitudinal extent and a transverse extent. Roof supports are integrally formed with the support floor and extend upwardly therefrom. Two rear passenger seats supports are supported on the support floor. A driver's seat support is supported on the support floor. The driver's seat support is positioned in the cabin structure centrally of the transverse extent of the support floor, and the driver's seat support is positioned forwardly of the rear passenger seat supports in a direction of the longitudinal extent of the support floor. The two rear passenger seat supports are spaced apart in a direction of the transverse extent of the support floor. The driver's seat support defines a driver seating position and includes two spaced elongate parts extending generally in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the support floor and on each side of the driver seating position.
