6342615, Jan 29, 2002

Filed:

May 8, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/566314

Inventors:

Richard William Ryan - Kingwood TX
Ralph Martin Kowalik - Kingwood TX
Michael J. Keenan - Baton Rouge LA

Assignee:

ExxonMobil Chemicals Patents Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

C07D30132

US Classification:

549541, 549557, 5253273, 526273

Abstract:

The invention provides for a purified glycidyl ester product prepared from neo acids wherein said ester product is recovered as a light fraction from a glycidyl ester reaction product composition that has been subjected to conditions of temperature and vacuum in a thin film, short pass distillation evaporator, said purified glycidyl ester product further characterized that its polymerizable reaction product with methacrylic acid has a higher effective glass transition temperature as compared with the polymerizable reaction product with methacrylic acid of said glycidyl ester reaction product composition prior to purification.

Filed:

Mar 2, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/396233

Inventors:

Richard H. Ryan - Sherman Oaks CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600301

Abstract:

A vital signs monitor system is integrated with personal protective equipment (“PPE”) so that upon wearing the PPE, the monitor is placed in an operational position to monitor a vital sign. In one embodiment, the vital signs sensor comprises a thermal sensor located at a mouth guard to automatically make operational contact with tissue under the tongue when the mouth guard is worn. A second vital signs monitor comprising reflective pulse oximetry devices senses oxygen saturation and heart rate. Vital signs data are communicated to an RF module located in an associated helmet for transmission to a remote location. A gateway at that remote location receives the transmitted vital signs data and forwards that data to a data collection, organization, and access system that is programmed to make the vital signs data available over the Internet. Medical personnel, coaches, supervisors at the location of the PPE can monitor the vital signs of the wearer by accessing the data collection, organization, and access system with hand held, or portable computing equipment over the Internet.

Appl. No.:

12/975263

Inventors:

Richard H. Ryan - Sherman Oaks CA, US

Assignee:

Hall Ryan Laboratories, Inc. - Sylmar CA

International Classification:

G09B 19/00
A61B 5/024

US Classification:

600481, 434247

Abstract:

A system and associated method that provides a virtual coach to a person during an exercise routine includes a sensor used to sense the level of a physiological parameter of the exerciser, such as heart rate, a processor programmed to compare the sensed physiological parameter to a target level of the physiological parameter, and, depending on the comparison, provide coaching prompts to the exerciser. Coaching prompts include audible and visual prompts. In another feature, a visual image of a virtual coach may be made available for display to the exerciser, and in yet another feature, a video of the virtual coach saying the audio prompt may be displayed. The system allows for selection from a plurality of virtual coaches. The audio and video of virtual coaches are recordings of real people and may be produced or obtained from other sources. In one embodiment, audio, visual, and video of the virtual coach may be downloaded from the Internet.

Appl. No.:

8/861408

Richard William Ryan - Kingwood TX
Gerald G. McGlamery - Baton Rouge LA
Ralph Martin Kowalik - Kingwood TX

Assignee:

Exxon Chemical Patents Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

C07D30132
C07D30316

US Classification:

549541

Abstract:

A process for the distillation of the glycidyl ester reaction product of a straight or branched chain saturated monocarboxylic acid or salt thereof and an halo-substituted monoepoxidc is disclosed, wherein the reaction product is subjected to conditions of temperature and vacuum in a thin film, short pass distillation apparatus such as a wiped film evaporator. The product distillate has significantly reduced color than the reaction product prior to distillation, and has improved heat and color stability.

Filed:

Nov 22, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/155297

Inventors:

Richard M. Ryan - Northridge CA

International Classification:

A61M 514
A61M 500

US Classification:

604 80

Abstract:

An organizer for organizing and maintaining a plurality of lines in a specifically arranged manner. The organizer is to include a clamping arrangement to facilitate securement to an exterior structure. The lines are fixedly mounted at appropriate spaced-apart locations on a block with this block being pivotally mounted on the clamping apparatus so as to position the lines at a desired orientation relative to an exterior structure upon which the clamping apparatus is mounted. Identifying indicia is to be placed on the organizer which is to correspond to identifying indicia on the lines so as to organize the lines and avoid confusion between the different lines mounted on the organizer.

International Classification:

C08F 2000
C08G 6316

US Classification:

525441

Abstract:

Polyesterdiols having low viscosities of less than 3500 cps, high content of non-volatile matter in excess of 96 wt %, and narrow molecular weight distribution of less than about 1. 4 are prepared by esterification of one or more aliphatic dicarboxylic acids or ester derivatives thereof using at least a 1. 5 molar excess of one or more aliphatic diols until an acid number of less than 20 is achieved, and stripping excess diol from the polyesterdiol reaction product. Where esterification catalyst is used, catalyst is substantially removed prior to stripping excess unreacted diol from polyesterdiol reaction product. The polyesterdiols so produced are useful as (i) curable components in thermosettable resin compositions, particularly compositions essentially free of volatile organic solvent and also containing a crosslinking agent and a reactive hardening agent: and/or (ii) useful as coatings, paints and adhesives, providing coatings with very low content of volatile organic compounds.
