  • Publication number: 20070167640
    Abstract: Hexafluoroisobutylene and its higher homologs are easily reacted with SO3 to give fluorosulfates of the formula CH2?C(R)CF2OSO2F, wherein R is a linear branched or cyclic fluoroalkyl group comprised of 1 to 10 carbon atoms and may contain ether oxygen. These compounds react under mild conditions with many nucleophiles to give CH2?C(R)CF2X, where X is derived from the nucleophile. This reaction provides a route to many substituted hexafluoroisobutylenes, which copolymerize easily with other fluoro- and hydrocarbon monomers such as vinylidene fluoride and ethylene.

  • Publication number: 20050051752
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of using fluorosulfones for i) extinguishing fire by applying to the fire such a fluorosulfone, ii) preventing fire in an air-containing enclosed area containing combustible materials by introducing into the area such a fluorosulfone and maintaining the fluorosulfone in an amount sufficient to suppress combustion of combustible materials in the enclosed area, and iii) reducing or eliminating the flammability of a flammable working fluid, by mixing between about 0.1 to about 99 percent by weight of such a fluorosulfone with the flammable working fluid.

  • Patent number: 5597323
    Abstract: A jack and plug assembly wherein the jack has downwardly extending inner and outer coaxial connectors, and is designed to receive a coaxial cable at a right angle to the axis of the jack, with the inner connector of a coaxial cable attached to the inner conductor. The inner connector of the jack comprises a downwardly extending hollow cylindrical spring metal conductor, with the upper portion of the conductor having a surface hole of a size slightly smaller than the diameter of the inner conductor of the coaxial cable to be connected thereto. A lower portion of the hollow cylinder below the hole is removed and the surface of the hollow cylinder between the top and the lower portion is slotted to permit forcible expansion of the upper portion so that the hole is enlarged sufficiently to receive the larger inner conductor of the coaxial cable.
