Mark Thomas Devlin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6767871
    Abstract: The lubricating oil of the present invention has a viscosity suitable for use in a diesel engine and includes at least one functionalized olefin polymer, and at least one zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP). The ZDDP is made from a mixture of primary alcohols or a mixture of primary and secondary alcohols, wherein the lubricant has a high boundary film value greater than or equal to 15, and preferably greater than 60, as measured by using a High Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 21, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 27, 2004
    Assignee: Ethyl Corporation
    Inventors: Mark Thomas Devlin, Charles A. Passut, Carl K. Esche, Jr., John T. Loper

  • Patent number: 6107257
    Abstract: A novel additive comprising a highly grafted, multi-functional olefin copolymer comprising a graft and amine-derivatized copolymer prepared from ethylene and at least one C.sub.3 to C.sub.23 alpha-monoolefin and, optionally, a polyene, wherein the copolymer of ethylene and at least one C.sub.3 to C.sub.23 alpha-monoolefin has grafted thereon from 0.3 to 0.75 carboxylic groups per 1000 number average molecular weight units of olefin copolymer and wherein the olefin copolymer has a number average molecular weight of between 20,000 and 150,000, and lubricating oil concentrates and compositions containing the same are provided.

  • Patent number: 5650381
    Abstract: There is disclosed a lubricating oil composition which contains from about 100 to 450 parts per million of molybdenum from a molybdenum compound which is substantially free of active sulfur and about 750 to 5,000 parts per million of a secondary diarylamine. This combination of ingredients provides improved oxidation control and friction modifier performance to the lubricating oil. The composition is particularly suited for use as a crankcase lubricant.
