  • Method and an unleaded low emission gasoline for fueling an automotive engine with reduced emissions
    Patent number: 7557255
    Abstract: An unleaded reduced emissions gasoline having at least one of an octane less than about 86.7, a sulfur content less than about 40 ppmw sulfur and containing an oxygenate, and having reduced emissions by comparison to a minimum 87 octane gasoline. A method for reducing emissions from an automotive internal combustion engine is provided for a single vehicle and for a fleet. A method for reducing emissions by use of a distribution network is disclosed and a system for reducing emissions by a combination of a refinery and the vehicles is disclosed.

  • Method of coextruding diverse materials
    Patent number: 4405547
    Abstract: The coextrusion device (20) of the present invention can be used with conventional extruders (24-26) and extrusion dies (90) for forming layered products (91) from at least two materials. It includes a manifold (21) for receiving a plurality of extruded feed materials (A, B, C) and a feedblock (22) receiving the feed materials from the manifold. The feedblock includes first and second faces (43, 52), entrance ports (40, 41, 42) in the first face corresponding to the number of feed materials, channel means (50, 60, 70) passing through the feedblock between the first and second faces directing each feed material into at least one separate profile, and exit ports (51, 61, 71) in the second face corresponding to the number of channel means, defining a first profile for each feed material.
