  • Patent number: 12649892
    Abstract: A liquid composition for providing enhanced lubrication and wear protection, particularly under high-performance and/or extreme-pressure conditions. The composition comprises components that are solubilized, liquified, liquefacted, or sub-micronized, and are formulated to result in a stable, color-tunable composition that can be stored or implemented over extended periods of time without separation of solid components from the liquid. A composition can be a lubricant in which the solubilized, liquified, liquefacted, and/or sub-micronized components are comprised within a base oil, or an additive composition in which the components are formulated to be later added to a base oil.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230193049
    Abstract: A coating composition for providing anti-corrosive, wear-resistance, and sound dampening properties to plastic and metallic substrates. The composition comprises at least one functionalized resin and at least one dry lubricant in a solvent comprising a ketone, and can further comprise at least one of a cross-linking agent, a cross-linking catalyst, a co-solvent, and a colorant. Some compositions comprise multiple ketones and/or multiple dry lubricants, and can be formulated and applied to a substrate without producing hydrogen gas. Substrates coated with the coating composition can include metal components, particularly springs, washers, and other elements, within the liftgate support struts in a van, SUV, or other hatchback vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20110154213
    Abstract: Techniques for presenting content download progress include determining a plurality of layers of information about a specific download of particular content to an apparatus. The information in the plurality of layers is different from an amount of the particular content. The particular content is caused to be stored progressively into a memory on the apparatus. A first layer of information is presented on the local device upon a start of the specific download. An amount of the particular content stored into the memory is determined. A different second layer of information is presented progressively on the local device during the specific download based on the amount of the particular content stored into the memory.

  • Publication number: 20060075421
    Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided a method of analysis of the audience for channels selectable by a channel selector device for presentation on a presentation device, the channel selector device providing data indicating which channels are selected and the lengths of time for which selected channels remain selected. The data relating to the lengths of time for which channels remain selected is subject to a capping procedure, whereby the indicated length of time for which a channel remains selected is reduced to a capped maximum permitted length of time if the indicated length of time exceeds the maximum permitted length, to provide capped data.
