  • Patent number: 9670343
    Abstract: The present invention relates to materials useful for lowering the pour point of wax-containing mixtures of liquid hydrocarbons, as well as compositions of and methods for preparing the same. More particularly, this invention relates to the use in liquid hydrocarbons of OLAC compositions containing units derived from (i) hydrocarbyl(meth)acrylic acid derivatives and (ii) ethylenically unsaturated aliphatic N?-olefin monomers having up to 50 carbon atoms. The OLAC compositions are useful for modifying the fluidity and flow characteristics of liquid hydrocarbons, and more particularly, for improving the pipeline pumpability of liquid hydrocarbons.

  • Patent number: 9180322
    Abstract: A portable, hand-operated rescue tool is provided for rescue and extreme duty operations where an object needs to be cut, crushed, pierced and separated, or lifted. The rescue tool includes a body, a support handle and articulating jaw force members used to impart high forces on an object. The tool includes a manually-operated, pivoting actuation handle connected to a high pressure fluid displacement system to pivotally rotate the jaw force arms in a selected direction or mode of operation to suit the situation.
