  • Publication number: 20240294690
    Abstract: The invention relates to an in-situ process for preparing an alkylphenol-aldehyde resin. The process comprises the step of providing a raw alkylphenol composition. The raw alkylphenol composition comprises one or more alkylphenol compounds and at least about 1 wt % phenol. Each alkylphenol compound has one or more alkyl substituents. The raw alkylphenol composition is reacted directly, without pre-purification, with one or more aldehydes to form an in-situ alkylphenol-aldehyde resin. The invention also relates to an in-situ alkylphenol-aldehyde resin formed from the in-situ process, and its use in a tackifier composition and rubber composition. The tackifier composition and rubber composition containing the in-situ alkylphenol-aldehyde resin show, inter alia, improved tack performance.

  • Patent number: 11885351
    Abstract: An inlet guide vane assembly for a centrifugal compressor includes a plurality of guide vanes, a drive structure coupled to the plurality of guide vanes, an actuator; and an actuation mechanism. Rotation of the drive structure is transitions the plurality of guide vanes from a first position to a second position. The actuation mechanism causes the drive structure to transition the plurality of guide vanes between the first and second positions based on operation of the actuator. The actuation mechanism imparts a first amount of rotational force to drive the drive structure when the guide vanes are in the first position, and a second amount of rotational force when the guide vanes are in the second position. The actuation mechanism provides a mechanical advantage to the actuator when the guide vanes are in the first positions as compared to when the guide vanes are in the second position.

  • Publication number: 20220081659
    Abstract: This dual-compartment liver co-culture system exposes target microtissue to metabolites, allowing for evaluating toxicity using a standard multi-well plate for high throughput analysis. Discovery scientists can rapidly select lead compounds with desirable metabolic profiles, while safety scientists can determine the safety of drugs, pesticides, and environmental chemicals. This platform is allometrically scalable, so it can mimic the natural size differences between healthy organs and, with the liver, produce sufficient quantities of metabolites. The device is simple to use and designed for immediate in vitro pathology assessment using confocal microscopy, transcriptomics, and proteomics.
