Abstract: A wearable towel with a locking loop device configurable for multiple applications and its method of use are described. In some configurations, the wearable towel is secured to the wrist or forearm by a band and may be worn wrapped around the wrist or forearm in a corkscrew fashion for use as a towel, a sports-wrist sweatband, or a utility towel. Alternatively, the wearable towel may be wrapped around the forehead or the face for use as a sweatband/headband or facemask, and secured by tucking the free short end of the towel through the loop. The particular shape and fabric composition of the invention contribute to the comfort and ease of use of the wearable towel on the arm, head, or face.

Abstract: An overhang edge shipping protector is provided that may allow for enhanced protection of an overhang edge during shipping of an item having an overhang edge. The overhang edge shipping protector may include an overhang cavity, one or more side lands and a buttress, all of which may be capable of absorbing and transferring energy from an adverse impact force to more suitable and sturdy locations of the item, such as the sides.

Abstract: A process for producing oxygenated products from an olefin-rich feedstock comprise reacting, in a hydroformylation stage, a Fischer-Tropsch derived olefinic product comprising linear and methyl branched olefins, with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalytically effective quantity of a hydroformylation catalyst and under hydroformylation reaction conditions, to produce oxygenated products comprising linear and methyl branched aldehydes and/or alcohols. The Fischer-Tropsch derived olefinic product is that obtained by subjecting a synthesis gas comprising carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2) to Fischer-Tropsch reaction conditions in the presence of a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst.
