Abstract: The present disclosure provides an aqueous composition comprising a quaternary amine compound neutralized with a polycarboxylic acid. The aqueous composition is particularly useful for inerting clay in cement compositions as well as compatibilzing pigments in pigment dispersions.

Abstract: A vegetable oil-based alkoxylate composition comprising a mixture of mono-, di-, and/or triacyl alkoxylated glycerides and alkoxylated glycerin. A method of reacting a vegetable oil and an alkoxylated glycerin via a transesterification reaction to produce a vegetable oil-based alkoxylate composition.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a dispersant obtained from the reaction of a liquid isocyanate compound and a polyoxyalkylene amine and its use in dispersing various particulate solids in an aqueous or organic medium.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a non-hydrocarbyl-based alcohol initiated polyetheramine. In particular, the polyetheramine of the present disclosure is produced from a tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol-based initiator which is alkoxylated and then reductively aminated. The polyetheramine of the present disclosure may be used in a variety of applications, such as a raw material in the synthesis of a dispersant for use in an aqueous pigment dispersion.

Abstract: An access point includes first and second radios that operate in accordance with first and second wireless protocols, respectively. The access point performs a method including receiving a first protocol packet of the first wireless protocol and a second protocol packet of the second wireless protocol transmitted by a wireless device over a communication channel, and measuring a first received power of the first protocol packet and a second received power of the second protocol packet at the access point. The method further includes determining whether reception times of the first protocol packet and the second protocol packet are within a coherence time for the communication channel and, when the reception times are within the coherence time, combining the first received power and the second received power into a multiprotocol received power. The method also includes determining a location of the wireless device based on the multiprotocol received power.

Abstract: A method of reacting castor oil and an alkoxylated glycerin via a transesterification reaction to produce an estolide of castor oil alkoxylate. Compositions comprising an estolide of castor oil alkoxylate and uses thereof.
