Publication number: 20020156316Abstract: The present invention is directed to a low viscosity carboxyl-containing polyol composition having a viscosity in the range of about 3,000-100,000 centipoise, and having an oligomer content of less than 30 mg KOH/g. Preferably, the carboxyl-containing polyol has one ester group per molecule. The carboxyl-containing polyol is suitable for use in preparing low viscosity polyurethane prepolymers. Also disclosed is a method of producing this carboxyl-containing polyol composition by reacting a low molecular weight triol with an acid anhydride in the presence of 25-500 ppm of an inorganic or organic acid catalyst. The organic or inorganic acid is preferably selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, formic acid, proprionic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, oxalic acid, and combinations thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2002Publication date: October 24, 2002Inventors: Indulis Gruzins, Donald Farrell McElheney, Robert C.

Patent number: 6443402Abstract: A hanger for mounting a cable to a support structure includes a flexible resilient unitary metallic strip. The strip has a medial portion shaped in a generally circular configuration about a longitudinal axis to form a cable holding section defining a longitudinally extending passageway for receiving and at least partially surrounding the cable. The strip has attachment legs extending from opposite ends of the medial portion in opposing spaced apart relation to one another generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The attachment legs are configured for being inserted into an installation opening. The cable holding section includes a first circumferentially extending slot extending at least partially around the circumferential extent of the passageway, and a pair of second circumferentially extending slots formed in the cable holding section on opposite sides of the first slot.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2000Date of Patent: September 3, 2002Assignee: CommScope Properties, LLCInventors: Jess Britton Ferrill, W. Joe Mills, Jerry Douglas Morgan

Patent number: 6095073Abstract: A boat that can be rowed, sailed and motor driven, and has a pair of parallel elongated pontoons and a normally above-water boxlike structure which serves to connect the pontoons, to provide a cockpit for the crew, and to provide a third hull for supplemental flotation when needed. A pair of parallel structural panels form opposite sidewalls of the cockpit and each extends down through the middle of the adjacent pontoon to its keel. The cockpit deck structure connects the panels and covers the part of each pontoon between the panels. The part of each pontoon on the other side of the adjacent panel forms a ledge along the outer side of the boat which is helpful in climbing out of the water into the boat.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 1998Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Inventor: Jerry Douglas Burkett
