  • Publication number: 20150232137
    Abstract: Embodiments provide an aerodynamic fairing system that may comprise a base configured to mount to a vehicle, an arm coupled to the base at a proximate end and extending laterally, an a fairing mounted to the arm having an inboard and an outboard surface. The fairing outboard surface may provide an aerodynamic outer surface to direct flow to an angle to the rear. The arm may a fixed or adjustable length arm. The arm may provide a mounting area for a mud flap such that aerodynamic system may act as a mud flap hanger. Embodiments also provide an adjustable mud flap hanger.

  • Patent number: 8814253
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein may be used to provide aerodynamic quarter fender assemblies. Panels may be rigidly or hingedly attached to existing quarter fenders or may be used in lieu of an existing quarter fender. Embodiments may provide improved fluid flow control across the transition zone between the tractor and the trailer, but may be easily moved into a stowed position to allow access to areas of the truck.

  • Patent number: 6706903
    Abstract: A process for removing saturated fatty acids from a primarily unsaturated fatty acid mixture is disclosed wherein the process comprises fractionally distilling off saturated C16 and other minor fatty acid components in the mixture to a level less than or equal to 4% by weight, adding a lower polyglycerol ester as a crystallization aid, then cooling and fractionally crystallizing out remaining saturated fatty acids to yield a product comprising less than 3.3% saturated fatty acids by weight.
