  • Patent number: 6410490
    Abstract: The instant invention relates to a lubricant composition stabilized against the deleterious effects of heat and oxygen. The composition comprises a hydrotreated or hydrodewaxed oil and an effective antioxidant stabilizing amount of a mixture of a phenolic antioxidant; an N,N-disubstituted aminomethyl-1,2,4-triazole; an aromatic amine antioxidant; an alkyl phenoxy alkanoic acid; and an N-acyl sarcosine derivative. Optionally, further additives are added to the subject lubricant compositions.

  • Publication number: 20020016266
    Abstract: The invention relates to improved compositions comprising thiophosphoric acid esters and dithiophosphoric acid esters or phosphoric acid thioesters and oil additives from the group of the polyol partial esters, amines and epoxides, and also to the use of those lubricant compositions in improving the performance properties of lubricants, such as greases, metal-working fluids, gear fluids or hydraulic fluids. Thiophosphoric acid esters and dithiophosphoric acid esters or phosphoric acid thioesters are present in the compositions preferably in a concentration of less than 400 ppm.

  • Patent number: 4782760
    Abstract: A vehicle precision location assembly including a precision shoe mounted on the vehicle and having planar surfaces which converge towards an end of the shoe and intersect along an edge inclined with respect to the horizontal and a pair of rollers mounted alongside a track and having their axes of rotation canted with respect to each other such that each roller contacts the shoe surfaces along a line substantially parallel to the axis of the roller whereby the vehicle will be centered in a direction transverse to the direction of travel of the vehicle and without any play in the transverse direction regardless of wear.

  • Patent number: 4691641
    Abstract: An accumulation system for driverless vehicles of the type which are propelled along a track by contact between the drive wheel and a rotating drive shaft. Accumulation being caused by contact between a swing arm extended from the front end of a driverless vehicle. The swing arm pivots towards the front end of the driverless vehicle causing a corresponding rotation of the drive wheel with respect to the rotating drive shaft. The change in position of the drive wheels with respect to the axis of the drive shaft causes a deceleration of the driverless vehicle and/or accumulation of the vehicle with respect to the adjacent driverless vehicle on the track.
