Abstract: The present invention relates to fuel additives, fuel compositions and methods of manufacture in which the additives are provided to impart desired properties to fuels. These properties include, without limitation, reduction of nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions from the exhaust stream of internal combustion engines using the fuels. Preferred embodiments of an additive form of the composition include a nitrogen-containing compound selected from the group consisting of urea, cyanuric acid, triazine, ammonia and mixtures thereof, a carrier blend comprising an alkoxylated alcohol, a polyalkylene glycol ester and an alkanolamide and water. The additive may be provided in a concentrate form by addition of a solvent or may be provided as a final form fuel composition. A method of additive manufacture and is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, systems, and computer readable media for deriving chemical compositions that are present in a chemical product to be manufactured and for determining whether the chemical product complies with government regulations. A method can comprise obtaining a bill of material including components to manufacture the chemical product; ascertaining whether any of the components includes subcomponents; replacing any components including subcomponents with the subcomponents in a revised bill of material; and deriving from the revised bill of material the chemical compositions present in the manufactured chemical product. In some embodiments, the derived chemical compositions can be compared to a stored set of government regulatory standards relating to the chemical compositions to determine compliance.

Abstract: A device and method for spanning a gap between adjacent surfaces is provided. The device includes a pin or pin plate rotatably connected to a cover plate, preferably using a ball and socket joint. The pin or pin plate, connected to the cover plate, can be inserted into the gap and the cover plate can be rotated to engage the adjacent surfaces, thereby covering the gap.

Abstract: A coalbed formation is stimulated to improve the recovery of methane which involves injecting into the coalbed formation an aqueous acid solution containing an organic amphoteric tertiary ammonium compound having from 1 to 3 tertiary ammonium groups, each N of which contains at least one C.sub.3 to C.sub.4 unsaturated carboxylic acid group, and wherein the compound contains a terminal benzyl or C.sub.5 -C.sub.19 alkyl group.

Abstract: This invention relates to emulsion compositions which are used as auto spray waxes or rinse or drying aids in automatic car washes. The inventive emulsion replaces mineral seal oil of prior art emulsions with more environmentally acceptable simple esters of natural fatty acids having the general structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R--C is from an acid moiety having approximately 12-26 carbon atoms, and R' is from an alcohol moiety having approximately 1-5 carbon atoms. In an additional embodiment, the emulsion composition can include an amine oxide coupling solvent or solubilizer.

Abstract: A display device for displaying a scroll including a case defined from a single blank of stiff planar material where the blank in assembled form provides a base, a top having a viewing area, an internal platen exposed immediately beneath the viewing area where roller receiving chambers are defined on each side of the platen so that a scroll or paper strip can be moved between roller members disposed in the chambers on either side of the platen.
