Abstract: A lubricant composition that is particularly suited for use in steam and gas turbine oils and in circulating oils has a balance of excellent oxidative stability and reduced sludge formation and comprises a blended mixture of alkylated phenyl-?-naphthylamine and at least oil soluble triazole or triazole derivative in an oil of lubricating viscosity, such compositions being capable of a residual RPVOT of 25% after at least 500 hours test duration test duration 120° C. in Dry TOST test or, alternatively 50% after 700 hours or 25% after 1000 hours.

Abstract: An acrylic acid ester polymer having improved characteristics and oleaginous compositions containing the acrylic acid ester polymer. The acrylic acid ester polymer includes a copolymer derived from a first acrylic acid ester monomer having from about 1 to about 4 carbon atoms, a second acrylic acid ester monomer having from about 12 to about 14 carbon atoms, and a third acrylic acid ester monomer having from about 16 to about 20 carbon atoms. The copolymer has a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 20,000 to about 100,000 daltons and contains no more than about 1 weight percent unreacted monomer.

Abstract: Lubricant compositions having improved load carrying capacity comprising an extreme pressure compound comprising a sulfur-containing compound, a load carrying capacity enhancing combination comprising a hydrocarbylamine compound and an alkylphosphorothioate compound, a friction modifier compound, and a diluent or base oil as applicable. These lubricant compositions can be used as industrial oils well-suited for the demands of geared device applications, such as in wind turbine gear-boxes and automotive gears and axles.

Abstract: Lubricant compositions having improved anticorrosion performance comprising an extreme pressure compound comprising a sulfur-containing compound, an antiwear compound comprising a phosphorous-containing compound, an alkylene amine friction modifying compound, a dispersant compound containing basic nitrogen, and a diluent or base oil as applicable, wherein any of compounds other than the diluent or base oil can be the same or different compounds. These lubricant compositions provide improved anticorrosion resistance and fatigue performance, which prolongs service lives of lubricated parts, especially those used in outdoor applications.

Abstract: A turbine lubricant consisting of (A) alkylated diphenylamine and/or phenylnaphthylamines, and (B) sulfurized olefins and/or sulfurized fatty acids and/or ashless dithiocarbamates and/or tetraalkylthiuram disulfides, with the balance containing (C) base oils characterized by very low sulfur contents (<0.03 wt %) and a high level of saturates (>90 volume %), and optionally (D) neutral rust inhibitors, show superior oxidative stability and provide adequate corrosion protection and sludge control for turbine oil and R&O oil applications.

Abstract: A time-framed communications transceiver maintains synchronization through fade conditions by resetting a counter (640) whenever new synchronization parameters are stored in a memory (630) based on bursts detected by a receiver (610) and a burst synchronizer (620). A transmitter (690) transmits bursts based upon the synchronization parameters in the memory (630) when the time counter (640) has not exceeded a predetermined period of time. The receiver (610) re-establishes the synchronization parameters in the memory (630) when the time counter exceeds another, longer predetermined period of time before transmission by the transmitter (690).
