Abstract: The present disclosure relates to booster additive packages and lubricating oil compositions including the booster additive packages improved deposits, sludge, wear, TBN retention, and/or rust protection. The booster additive package includes at least one or more oil soluble nitrogen-containing compounds and one or more detergent additives.

Abstract: A voltage indicator and a method for its use in detecting and indicating the presence of single-phase AC voltage in an electrical power cord. The voltage indicator includes an electronic display, capacitor plate elements connected electrically to the electronic display so as to couple the voltage indicator capacitively to the electrical power cord when alternating current voltage is present, and diodes that act as a rectifier, between one of the capacitor plate elements and the electronic display device. Capacitive coupling develops electrical current through the voltage indicator and energizes the display device when alternating line current voltage is present in the power cord. The voltage indicator is electrically insulated from the power cord it monitors by the usual insulation on the power cord or cable.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I): wherein Ar represents an optionally substituted aromatic carbocycle or heterocycle, and R1 and R2 independently represent hydrogen, C1-10alkyl, C(O)C1-10alkyl or optionally substituted aryl provided that R1 and R2 are not both hydrogen which process comprises reacting together a compound of formula (II): Ar—X??(II) wherein Ar is as defined in relation to formula (I) and X represents a leaving group with a a compound of formula (III) wherein R1 and R2 are as defined in relation to formula (I) under aqueous conditions in the presence of a Pd (II) salt, a ligand and a Group I or Group II metal hydroxide base at a pH greater than 7. Compounds of formula (I) may be hydrolysed to the corresponding hydrazine.

Abstract: A process for preparing a preserved rice product is disclosed. Here rice is treated at a pH of 4.5 or below with a polymeric acid food acceptable acid and placed in a microorganism-impermeable container.

Abstract: A stable rice product is disclosed which is acid-pasteurized. The rice is treated with a polymeric food acceptable acid to a pH of 4.5 and lacks an acid flavor. Alginic acid, pectic acid, carageenic acid and carboxymethylcellulose acid are indicated to be suitable acids.
