Patent number: 7659427Abstract: Disclosed is an optimized process and apparatus for more efficiently and economically carrying out the liquid-phase oxidation of an oxidizable compound. Such liquid-phase oxidation is carried out in a bubble column reactor that provides for a highly efficient reaction at relatively low temperatures. When the oxidized compound is para-xylene and the product from the oxidation reaction is crude terephthalic acid (CTA), such CTA product can be purified and separated by more economical techniques than could be employed if the CTA were formed by a conventional high-temperature oxidation process.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2008Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Alan George Wonders, Wayne Scott Strasser, Marcel de Vreede, J. Thomas Tidwell

Publication number: 20090050834Abstract: There are two major applications here: Application 1: Balloon or toy filling device, with any other features besides the primary filling, dispensing, or balloon ridge or gripping features. Ornamental and ornamental-functional features are emphasized here, for example, use as a cover, protection, fitting, grip, handle, or hook (e.g. for hanging). Application 2: Method, system, and apparatus for balloon or toy valve actuated by (the force of) placing an object on the nozzle, or actuated at or by the nozzle egress, or using a one-handed operation means. Even though there are industrial valves out in the market place, there are none for water balloons, and none as easy to use, with one-handed operation, to be very practical and easy to use, by only one user (e.g. with one-hand push or pull operation, which is advantageous). The various variations and applications of each idea above are also discussed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2007Publication date: February 26, 2009Inventors: Wayne Scott Boise, John Michael Fraund, JR.
