  • Method for haze mitigation and filterability improvement for base stocks
    Patent number: 8394256
    Abstract: The present invention is a process for removing waxy haze from and improving the filterability of base stocks including heavy mineral oil base stocks, gas-to-liquids (GTL) and hydrodewaxed or hydroisomerized waxy feed basestocks by filtering the waxy haze causing particles out of the base stock employing a filter characterized by a high surface area of pores accessible to the haze wax particles which have particles dimensions of no more than about 5 microns.
    Type: Grant

  • Process for preparing basestocks having high VI using oxygenated dewaxing catalyst
    Patent number: 7429318
    Abstract: A process for preparing high VI lubricating oil basestocks comprising hydrotreating, hydrodewaxing and optionally hydrofinishing. The hydrotreated feedstock is hydrodewaxed using a dewaxing catalyst that has been selectively activated by oxygenate treatment. The hydrodewaxed product may then be hydrofinished.

  • Process for preparing basestocks having high VI
    Patent number: 7282137
    Abstract: A process for preparing high VI lubricating oil basestocks comprising hydrotreating, hydrodewaxing and optionally hydrofinishing. The hydrotreating step is under conditions such that the amount of conversion to 343° C. minus is less than 5 wt. % of the feedstock and the VI increase is less than 4 VI over the feedstock. Hydrodewaxing uses a low alpha catalyst and hydrofinishing is accomplished with a catalyst based on the M41S family.

  • Bingo game booklet
    Patent number: 5779274
    Abstract: A bingo game booklet includes a top sheet having at least one bingo face with a first serial number located on each bingo face of the top sheet wherein the first serial number is identical on each bingo face of the top sheet. A second sheet is located below the top sheet with the second sheet including at least one bingo face. A second serial number is located on each bingo face of the second sheet. The second serial number is identical on each bingo face of the second sheet and is also identical to the first serial number. A first indicium is located on the top sheet wherein each of the bingo faces is designated by the first indicium. A second indicium is located on the second sheet wherein each bingo face of the second sheet is designated by the second indicium. The first and second indicia are different. A connecting element connects an edge of the top sheet to an edge of the second sheet to form the sheets into a bingo game booklet.
