8 Claims, No Drawings ASHLESS OIL ADDITIVE COMBINATION COMPOSED OF A NITROGEN-CONTAINING ASHLESS DISPERSANT PHOSPIIOSULFURIZED OLEFIN AND PHOSPHOROTI-IIONYL DISULFIDE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to an additive package particularly suitable for use in lubricating oils comprising an ashless nitrogen-containing dispersant, a phosphosulfurized olefinic hydrocarbon antiwear agent and a phosphorothionyl disulfide antioxidant. This additive package can be used in gasoline, fuel oils, heating oils and lubricating oils. The nitrogen-containing dispersant is the reaction product of a high molecular weight carboxylic acid with an alkylene polyamine while the antiwear agent is the reaction product of a phosphorus sulfide with an olefinic hydrocarbon. The antioxidant phosphorothionyl disulfides are derived from C C alkyl phenols.
2. Description of the Prior Art U.S. Pat. No. 3,394,179 teaches the use of phos phosulfurized hydrocarbons with high molecular weight carboxylic acid-polyamine ashless dispersants as additives for gas engine oils. The present invention is an improvement over that invention.
The use of phosphorothionyl disulfides derived from alkyl phenols as antioxidants in mineral oils is known. See U.S. Pat. No. 2,443,264. Preparation of such materials through the use of sulfoxides as an oxidizing agent is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,376,313. The use of such phosphorothionyl disulfide with other phosphoruscontaining materials such as ammonium phosphodithioates is also known in the art. See British Patent specifi cation l,27l,955.
SUMMARY OF THE lNV ENTlON lt has now been found that an additive package of su perior antioxidant and wear-preventing capabilities is comprised of the combination of (i) an ashless nitrogen-containing dispersant made by reaction of an alkylene polyamine with a monoor dicarboxylic acid or anhydride substituted with a C VC ,substantially hydrocarbon side chain. (ii) a phosphosulfurized olefin made by reaction of a terpene, petroleum fraction or a 5( )-2(l.()0() molecular weight C -C olefinic polymer with phosphorus sulfide and (iii) a phosphorothionyl disulfide of a C,C,,, alkyl phenol. Preferably. the'se additive packages are used in petroleum mineral oils hav ing viscosity indices between 50 and 110 and which are suitable for use as engine lubricants.
Although the above-noted 179 patent disclosed the use of an ashless additive for use in engine lubricating oils, the use of ash-containing lubricating oil additives has continued because it has been generally found that prior art ashless oils have been deficient in their ability to protect lubricated metal parts, particularly rings and cylinder liners, against excessive wear and scuffing. The additive packages of this invention are particularly useful in this regard. Furthermore, the components of the present package do not need to be intentionally prereacted as do those of the 179 patent.
lt has now been found that the ashless materials of the 179 patent can be further improved by combining them with a phosphorothionyl disulfide so as to make a package superior to the known ash-forming packages with respect to deposit formation and antiwear activity.
The desirability of using ashless additives is well known to the art in that, upon combustion, they prevent excessive engine deposits composed of ash-forming metal salts and burdening of the environment with unnecessary pollutants.
The additive packages of this invention are particularly useful in oils used to lubricate gas engines. Gas engine oils are subjectedto an environment particularly prone to cause oxidative degradation because the gas engines generally produce relatively high amounts of nitrogen oxide in the exhaust stream. Such exhaust streams are often passed through the oil sump and as is well known, nitrogen oxide can induce and/or catalyze oxidative deterioration of hydrocarbons. Therefore, it is particularly desirable that a gas engine oil be resistant to oxidative deterioration. Such oxidative deterioration of an oil shows up primarily as an increase in the viscosity of the 'oil. Under extreme conditions, the viscosity increases to a point where the oil can no longer satisfactorily lubricate the engine, It is believed that gas engines produce high nitrogen-oxide eshaust because for reasons of fuel efficiency, they are often operated at lean air/fuel ratios and conditions of spark advance which induced high combustion temperatures which tend to convert atmospheric nitrogen into corrosive nitrogen oxides.
ASHLESS, NITROGEN-CONTAINING DISPERSANTS The nitrogen-containing dispersant additives used in the present invention are generally those known in the art as sludge dispersants for crankcase motor oils. These dispersants include mineral oil-soluble salts, amides, imides and esters made from high molecular weight monoand dicarboxylic acids (and where they exist the corresponding acid anhydrides) and various amines or nitrogen-containing materials having amino nitrogen or heterocyclic nitrogen and at least one amido or hydroxy group capable of salt, amide, imide or ester formation.
These dispersants generally contain a long chain bydrocarbon group or groups attached to the acid, so the acid has a total of about 50 to 25f) carbon atoms, said acid being attached to the amine either through salt, imide, amide or ester groups. Usually, these dispersants are made by condensing a monocarboxylic acid or a dicarboxylic acid of anhydride, preferably a succinic acid producing material such as alkenyl succinic anhydride, with an amine or polyamine. Usually, the molar ratio of acid or anhydride to amine is between 1:1 to 5:1.
Monocarboxylic acid dispersants have been described in British Patent specification 983,040. Here, the high molecular weight monocarboxylic acid can be derived from a polyolefin, such as polyisobutylene, by oxidation with nitric acid or oxygen; or by the addition of halogen to the polyolefin followed by hydrolyzing and oxidation. The monocarboxylic acid may also be obtained by oxidizing a monohydric alcohol with potassium permanganate, or by reacting a halogenated polyolefin with a ketone.
Another method is taught in Belgian Patent 658,236 where a polyolefin, such as polymers of C to C monoolefin, e.g. polypropylene or polyisobutylene, is halogenated, e.g. chlorinated, and then condensed with an alpha, beta-unsaturated, monocarboxylic acid of from 3 to 8, preferably 3 to 4, carbon atoms, e.g. acrylic acid, alpha-methyl-acrylie acid (i.e., Z-methyl propenoic acid), crotonic, or isocrotonic acid, tiglic acid (alphamethyl crotonic acid), angelic acid, (alphamethylisocrotonic acid), sorbic acid, cinnamic acid, etc. Esters of such acids, e.g. ethyl methacrylate, may be employed if desired in place of the free acid.
Primarily because of its ready availability and low cost, the hydrocarbon portion of the mono-, or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride is preferably derived from a polymer of a C to C monoolefin, said polymer generally having between 50 and 250 carbon atoms. A particularly preferred polymer is polyisobutylene.
Polyalkyleneamines are usually used to make the dispersant. These polyalkyleneamines include those represented by the general formula:
wherein n is 2 to 3 and m is a number from 0 to 10.Specific compounds coming within the formula include diethylenetriamine, tetraethylenepentamine. dipropylenetriamine, octaethylenenonamine, and tetrapropylenepentamine', N,Ndi'(2-aminoethyl) ethylenediamine may also be used. Other aliphatic polyamino compounds that may be used are the N-aminoalkylpiperazines of the formula:
wherein n is a number from 2 to 3, and R is hydrogen or an aminoalkyl radical containing 2 to 3 carbon atoms. Specific examples include N-(2-aminoethyl) piperazine, N-(2-aminoisopropyl) piperazinc, and N,N-di-(2-aminoethyl) piperazine.
The use of mixtures of alkylene polyamines, mixtures of N-aminoalkyl piper-azines, and mixtures of the alkylene polyamines with the N-aminoalkyl piperazines is also contemplated, and the term aliphatic polyamine is intended to embrace all of these materials.
The reaction temperatures for amide formation will generally be in the range of from about 200 to 400F. In most cases, a narrower range of from about 250 to about 350F will be used. The reaction time will depend to some extent upon the reaction temperature. The composition of the reaction can be determined by measuring the amount of water or alcohol that is split off during the reaction. If desired, a water-entraining solvent, such as toluene, can be employed to remove the water as an azeotrope.
Representative dispersants, formed by reacting about equal molar amounts of polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride and a tetraethylenepentamine. are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,202,678. Similar dispersants, but made by reacting a molar amount of alkenyl succinic anhydride with about two molar amounts of polyalkyleneamines, are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,154,560. Other dispersants, using other molar ratios of alkenyl succinic anhydride and polyalkyleneamines, are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,172,892. Still other dispersants of alkenyl succinic anhydride with other amines are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,024,195, 3,024,237 (piperazine amines) and 3,219,666. An ester derivative is taught in Belgian Patent 662,875 where N-alkyl morpholinone esters, e.g. N-(Z-hydroxyethyl)-2-morpholinone, are formed by reaction with polyisobutylene succinic anhydride. The prior art also teaches that the alkenyl succinic polyamine type dispersants can be further modified by reacting a fatty acid, having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms, e.g. acetic acid, with the reaction product of the alkenyl succinic anhydride and polyamine (see U.S. Pat. No. 3,216,936).
Any of the nitrogen-containing dispersants described in any of the aforementioned patents can be used in the present invention.
THE PHOSPHOSULFURIZED OLEFINIC HYDROCARBON The preparation of phosphosulfurized hydrocarbons useful as antiwear agents is well known in the art and involves reacting a sulfide of phosphorus such as P 5 P 5 P 8 and the like, preferably P S with a hydrocarbon material such as a terpene, heavy petroleum fraction or polyolefin. A terpene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon having an empirical formula C l-l which is usually isolated from plant sources. The preparation of phosphosulfurized hydrocarbons is more fully described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,875,188 and 2,316,078.
Among the preferred hydrocarbon materials for treatment with phosphorus sulfides are olefin polymers having Staudinger molecular weights in the range of about 500 to about 20,000 and containing from 2 to 6 carbon atoms per olefin monomer. Polymers of ethylene, propylene, butylene, isobutylene or isoamylene may be employed. Particularly preferred are the polymers of butylene or isobutylene having Staudinger molecular weights in the range offrom about 600 to about 10,000 and still more particularly phosphosulfurized polybutene of about 800 to 1900 molecular weight. The term polybutene" is intended to embrace polymers of both butylene and isobutylene.
Phosphosulfurized hydrocarbons can be prepared by reacting a hydrocarbon base stock with from about 5 to 40 wt. percent of a sulfide of phosphorus, preferably with from about 10 to 20 wt. percent of phosphorus pentasulfide. The reaction is conducted under anhydrous conditions at temperatures from about to about 600F for from about /2 to about 15 hours. Similarly, low molecular weightolefins can be reacted with the above-described phosphorus sulfides. Such olefins include isobutylene, decene, dodecene, cetene, octadecene, cerotene and terpenes such as dipentene, terpolene and pinenes such as alpha pinenes. A particularly preferred phosphosulfurized olefin for use in this invention is that formed by the reaction of P 5 with alpha pinene.
THE PHOSPHOROTHIONYL DlSULFlDE The phosphorothionyl disulfides of this invention are derived from acids of the general formula in which R and R are each phenyl or C to C alkyl phenol groups, X, X and X are oxygen or sulfur, sulfur being preferred for X and oxygen being preferred for X and X The groups R and R are usually, but need not necessarily be, the same. Suitable specific R and R phenyl groups are tolyl, xylyl, nonyl phenyl, dodecyl phenyl, octadecyl'phenyl, dibutyl phenyl, butyl pentyl phenyl, dinonyl phenyl, etc.
The preferred thiophosphoric acids are the dithiophosphoric acids, i.e., ones where X and X are oxygen and X is sulfur. A particularly preferred dithiophosphoric acid is that in which R and R are nonyl phenyl groups.
The above'described thiophosphoric acids are easily converted into the disulfides used in this invention by oxidation. Air, oxygen, peroxides or sulfoxides, for example, can be used as the oxidant. Further details are contained in the above-noted British specification 1,271,955.
THE OILS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION The lubricating oils to which the additive package of the invention can be added include not only mineral lubricating oils, but synthetic oils also. The mineral lubricating oils may be of any type, including those derived from the ordinary paraffinic, naphthenic, asphaltic or mixed base mineral crude oils by suitable refining methods. Synthetic hydrocarbon lubricating oils can also be employed. Other useful synthetic oils include dibasic acid esters such as diZ-ethyl hexyl sebacate, carbonate esters, phosphate esters, halogenated hydrocarbons. polysilicones, polyglycols, glycol esters such as C oxo acid diesters of tetraethylene glycol and complex esters as for example the complex ester formed by the reaction of mole of sebacic acid with 2 moles of tetraethylene glycol and 2 moles of Z-ethyl hexanoic acid. Polyol esters, such as those made by the reaction of polyols (e.g., pentaerythritollhaving 3 to 6 hydroxyl groups with C, to C fatty acids can also be used.
In a preferred embodiment, the additive packages of this invention are used in a petroleum mineral oil having a viscosity index between about 50 and 110 and suitable for use in lubricating gas engines.
The additive package of this invention comprises 30 to 80, preferably 50 to -75 wt. percent of the abovedescribed ashless nitrogen-containing dispersant, 3.0 to 30, preferably 5 to 25 wt. percent of the abovedescribed phosphosulfurized olefinic hydrocarbon, and 3.0 to 30, preferably 5 to 25 wt. percent of the abovedescribed phosphorothionyl disulfides, all weight percents being based on the total weight of the package.
The additive packages of this invention are used in the above-described lubricating oils in the amounts of 1.0 to 15, preferably 2.5 to 7.5 wt. percent, based on the total weight of the oil formulation.
The additive packages of this invention. when combined with the aforesaid petroleum base oils, provide a lubricating oil particularly suited for use in gas engines. Such engines are internal combustion engines which utilize gaseous fuels such as methane, natural gas. town gas, synthesis gas, liquefied petroleum gas, etc. They are also very useful in the lubrication of diesel, gasoline, rotary and turbine engines.
The additive packages of this invention may also be employed in middle distillate fuels. Concentration ranges of from about 0.002 to about 2 wt. percent or more, generally from about 0.005 to about 0.2 wt. percent are employed. These petroleum distillate fuels generally boil in the range of fromabout 300 to about 900F. Typical of such fuels are No. l and No. 2 fuel oils that meet ASTM Specification D-396-48T, diesel fuels qualifying as Grades 1D. 2D and 4D of ASTM Specification D-975-5lT and various jet engine fuels.
Because they are ashless, these additives are particularly desirable for such fuels in that they do not give rise to glowing ashes nor deter from the burning qualities of the distillates. These additives may also be used in con- 5 junction with other prior art ashless additives for fuels, I such as polymers of acrylic or methacrylic acid esters,
high molecular weight aliphatic amines, etc.
The additive packages of this invention can also be employed, either along or in combination with other hydrocarbon-soluble additives, in jet fuels and gasolines in concentrations ranging from 0.00l to 1.0 wt. percent as detergent and/or rust preventive additives.
In any of the above-described fuel or lubricant compositions, other conventional additives may also be present, including dyes, pour point depressants, antiwear agents, e.g., tricresyl phosphate, zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates of 3 to 8 carbon atoms, antioxidants such as phenylalphamaphthylamine, tert. oetylphenol sulfide, bis-phenols such as 4,4-rnethylene bis (2,6-ditert. butylphenol), viscosity index improvers such as polymethacrylates, polyisobutylene, alkyl fumaratevinyl acetate copolymers, and the like, as well as other dispersants.
THE ASHLESS DlSPERSA NTS THE PHOSPHOSULFURIZED OLEFlN The phosphosulfurized olefin was prepared by reacting alpha pinene with phosphorus pentasulfide for several hours at a temperature ofabout l to 250C, the mixture being stirred and blown with nitrogen during the reaction to eliminate the hydrogen sulfide evolved.
To make the finished additive composition, the above-described P 8 treated alpha pinene was blended with a light mineral oil. The final formulation contained 60 to 65 wt. percent of phosphosulfurized alpha pinene with 40 to 35 wt. percent mineral oil. This formulation has a final phosphorus content of 4.96 wt. percent and a sulfur content of l3.l5 wt. percent.
THE PHOSPHOROTHIONYL DlSUl sFlDE The phosphorothionyl disulfide used in the evaluations described below was a derivative of nonyl phenol. A typical laboratory preparation of this disulfide is as follows:
a. Preparation of the Dithiophosphoric Acid A total of 968 g of nonyl phenol was heated with 222 g of phosphorus pentasulfide at l35-l45C for 30 to 60 minutes until all the phosphorus pentasulfide had dissolved. The product was dinonyl phenyl dithiophosphoric acid.
b. Preparation of Di-nonyl Phenyl Phosphorothionyl Disulfide The acid produced in (a) above was cooled to 30C and 300 ml of a paraffinic hydrocarbon solvent (b.p. 7090C) was added.
A total of 86 g of dimethyl sulfoxide was added with stirring and the temperature rose to about 55C. A Dean-Stark trap was fitted to the reaction vessel and ml water 90 percent theoretical amount) was collected on refluxing. The solvent and remaining byproducts were then removed by straight distillation at 50C with the pressure initially atmospheric and finally under reduced pressure at 15 mm Hg. leaving 1,280 g of product.
The disulfide obtained by this method had a TAN of 2 and an ASTM D-l30 copper corrosion (1% in mineral oil) of J2.
DESCRIPTION OF COMPARATIVE ADDITIVE COMPONENTS NOT OF THIS INVENTION To demonstrate the superior properties of the additives of the present invention in the below-described evaluation tests, certain comparative tests were carried out with known commercial additives. These additives are briefly described as follows:
Additive A-l was 4,4methylene bis(2,6-ditertiary butyl phenol) which is a commercial antioxidant.
Additive A-2 was very similar to Additive A-l except it contained polyas well as bis-di-tertiary butyl phenol.
Additive A-3 was the ammonium salt of dinonyl naphthalene sulfonic acid. It is known as a commercially available antioxidant.
Additive A-4 was a combination of 33.3 volume percent of a first oil concentrate containing an alkaline earth alkyl phenol sulfide and a second oil concentrate containing 40 volume percent of an alkaline earth organic sulfonate.
LUBRICANT STABILITY TEST (LST) PANEL COKER TEST This test is a modification ofthe standard panel coker test using a model C standard coker obtained from the Roxanna Machine Works of St. Louis, Missouri. The modifications are summarized as follows:

Federal Test Method No. 791, Method No. 332 and also in the Institute of Petroleum (Great Britain) Standard for test petroleum and its products, IP 124/64. The L-l test is run on a single cylinder 4- cycle diesel engine normally asperated. Fuel of a sulfur content of 0.4 wt. percent is used and the test is run for 480 hours. Evaluations are in the range of wear. ring sticking and deposit.
L-38 ENGINE TEST The L-38 Engine Test is also known as CLR L-38 Engine Test and is designed to evaluate high temperature oxidation stability of the formulated lubricant oil. Such evaluations are based on piston varnish deposit and copperlead bearing corrosion observed during the test. In this test a single cylinder water cooled Labeco oil test engine is operated at 3,150 rpm. for 40 hours with the test oil formulation. The oil is maintained at 300F and cooling water is maintained at F. Cop per-lead connecting rod bearings are weighed before and after the test. Bearing weight loss (BWL) of 50 milligrams or less is desired. After the test, the piston is visually evaluated and a varnish value is assigned by comparison to varnish deposit pictorial standards having assigned values of l to 10 for the color and extent of varnish deposit. In this varnish value scale of l to 10, the value 10 represents a clean and varnish-free piston and the value 1 represents a substantially complete dark varnish coated piston.
HOMELITE ENGINE EXHAUST PORT PLUGGING TEST The Homelite Engine Export Port Plugging Test uses a Model 250 engine supplied by the Homelite Company of Port Chester, New York. This engine is the driving component of a two-cycle gasoline engineelectric generator unit capable of delivering approximately 1,800 watts. The engine is lubricated by a fueloil vapor which reaches all of the critical rubbing metal surfaces in the engine. The fuel and oil are charged directly to the gasoline tank in proportions of pint of oil per gallon of fuel. Fuel and oil are fed to the carburetor, vaporized and then drawn into the engine crankcase on the upward stroke of the piston. On the piston downward stroke, the fuel-oil-air mixture is forced past the piston underside through intake ports in the cylinder wall into the combustion chamber. Compression and ignition occur during the following piston upward stroke. The engine is operated at 3600:25 r.p.m. so as to deliver ll5i3V and 15.7:1 amperes. The exhaust ports are inspected after 50 hours of operation.
Due in part to the large quantities of lubricating oil vapor throughout the engine, engine deposits build up rapidly during operation. The deposits formed by several lubricants in the cylinder exhaust ports have been found to correlate on a demerit basis with similar deposits formed by the same oils in field operations.
CHEVROLET o-CYLlNDER GAS ENGINE TEST This engine test was carried out substantially as described by T. Lonstrup and J. W. Wilson in SAE Transactions 76 3267, 1967. Briefly. a 6-cylinder Chevrolet engine having a displacement of 250 cubic centimeters is operated at an engine speed of approximately 1,500 rpm. for a period of 250 hours using a natural gas carburetor and methane as fuel. At the end of the test, the engine is dismantled and various" parts are rated using a demerit system in which zero represents a perfectly clean part and 10 represents a maximum of deposits.
GE. SCUFF TEST The GE. Scuff Test uses a mechanical device wherein a segment of a piston ring is mounted so as to be in contact with a segement segment a cylinder wall liner. Pressure is applied to the rubbing ring against the cylinder liner by means of hydraulic cylinders. The ring is oscillated through a three inch stroke at 640 rpm. Pressure against the ring is applied in 6 preset increments to a maximum ring interface pressure of 4,160 psi. Lubrication to the ring cylinder liner innerface is supplied by 2 electrically driven positive displacement type pumps. Oil flow is increased with each increase in pressure. At least two minutes of oil flow is allowed before beginning the oscillation at each pressure increment. The test is carried out for 270 minutes. Then the cylinder liner segment is also determined by subtracting the final ring weight from that of the initial ring weight.
RESULTS OF LABORATORY EVALUATlONS The formulations shown in Table 2 are evaluated in a series of the above-described laboratory tests. The base oil used was a severely hydrofined, phenolextracted SAE grade 30 oil having a viscosity at 2l0F of 59.2 SUS. a viscosity at lF of 5.28 SUS and a viscosity index of 66.5.
Table 2 which is representative of the present invention. Sim i larly, the ashforming composition of Control l produced excessive deposits in the panel coker test and showed further viscosity increases in the nitrogen oxidation test.
The oil formulation of Control 2, which was made from the above-described dinonyll naphthalene sulfo nate ammonium salt (Additive A-3) produced a viscosity increase twice that of Example 1 in the LST and a viscosity increase of more than 6 times that of Example 1 in the nitro-oxidation test. This is despite the fact that the composition of Control 2 contains 2 out ofthe 3 additives used in the formulation of Example 1. Thus, by merely replacing one of the components of the present invention with the material not within the scope of the present invention, a composition of significantly lesser effectiveness is produced.
Controls 3 and 4, which each contain one of the above-described bisphenol commercial antioxidants that the compositions ofthis invention are significantly,
better in their ability to protect the oil against oxidation than our compositions made of various prior art materials in combination with some but not all of the components of the present invention.
Laboratory Bench Test Data produced a viscosity increase in the LST which was some times that of the composition of Example 1 Ex.

Results are shown in Table 3.
Table 3 Preliminary Engine Test Data (l) at 240 hrs. (2) at 60 hrs.
From an examination of the data contained in Table 3. it can be seen that the ash-forming composition of the prior art (Control 1 produces copper-lead-bearing losses times that produced by the formulation of Example l and viscosity increases some lOO times that of the formulation of Example I when evaluated in the L-38 test.
Similarly. from an examination ofthe performance of the formulations of Example 1 and of Control 2 in the Homelite Engine Test, it can be seen that Example 1 gives a good piston rating while the control formulation gives a dirty piston rating. These results again demonstrate that compositions formulated in accordance with the present invention are more effective in maintaining engine cleanliness and reducing wear losses than those of prior art ash-forming materials or those formulated from some but not all of the ashless components of the invention.
The formulations of Example 1 and Controls l and 2 were also evaluated in a gas engine test. The results are shown in Table 4.
As can be seen from the data in Table 4, the ashforming package of the prior art (Control 1) gave almost 50 times the amount of con-rod bearing weight loss and ring weight loss as did that of Example 1. The superior wear protection provided by the package of this invention is evident from a comparison of the various top ring weight losses obtained with the various package. That obtained with Example l is one'sixth that obtained with the next best package (Control 2). Similarly, the viscosity increase ofthe Control 1 oil was more than 8 times that of the increase observed with the oil of Example 1 demonstrating that the formulation of Example 1 satisfactorily controls the oxidation of the oil. Similarly, the viscosity increase of Control 2 is three times that of Example 1 further demonstrating the effectiveness of Example 1 in protecting an oil against oxidative deterioration and corresponding viscosity increases.
Control 2 performs similarly in this test to Example 1 except that with it engine cleanliness is somewhat less.
In the abovedescribed G.E. Scuff Test, formulations prepared in accordance with this invention were compared with formulations containing some. but not all,

As can be seen from the data in Table 5, the formulation of Example 1 containing the additive package of this invention, gave significantly lower scuff demerit ratings and ring weight losses than did formulations containing only two of the components of the present invention. It can also be seen that while the base oil gave only a moderately severe scuffing rating, the addition of dispersant 1 to it increased it (Controls 8 and 9). The addition of one of the two other components to a dispersant-containing formulation only brings the scuff-rating back to the base level. Surprisingly, however, the addition of both other components to the dispersantcontaining formulation (Example 1) pro-- vides a total formulation of substantially improved scuff rating. It is also observed that this formulation provides the best wear protection as measured by ring weight loss. This conforms the findings discussed above in relation to Table 4. These data again illustrate that the packages of this invention provide greater wear protection than do similar compositions not within the scope of the invention.
What is claimed is:
1. An additive package for use in lubricating oil for an internal combustion engine which comprises in combination 30 to 80 wt. percent of a nitrogencontaining ashless dispersant, 3.0 to 30 wt. percent of a phosphosulfurized olefinic hydrocarbon and 3.0 to 30 wt. percent of a phosphorothionyl disulfide of phenol or of a C C alkyl phenol, said nitrogen-containing ashless dispersant being selected from the class consisting of salts, amides, and imides derived by condensation of an aliphatic hydrocarbyl polyamine with a hydrocarbyl monocarboxylic acid, hydrocarbyl dicarboxylic acid, or hydrocarbyl acid anhydride, said acid or acid anhydride having a total of from about 50 to 250 carbon atoms.
2. A lubricating oil for an internal combustion engine comprising a major proportion of oil and l.() to weight percent based on the total oil formulation ofthe additive package of claim 1.
3. A lubricating oil as claimed in claim 2 wherein the oil has a viscosity index between 50 and l 10.
4. The additive package of claim 1 wherein the phosphosulfurized olefinic hydrocarbon is prepared by the reaction of a phosphorus sulfide with a terpene.
5. The additive package of claim 1 wherein the nitrogen-containing dispersant is formed by the reaction of an alkenyl succinic anhydride with an alkylene polyamine selected from the group consisting of compounds of the general formula wherein n is 2 or 3 and m is a number from 0 to 10; and
CHr-CHi wherein n is as defined above and R is a hydrogen atom or an amino alkyl radical of 2 to .3 carbon atoms.
6. An additive package as claimed in claim 5 wherein said dispersant is made by reacting said anhydride with said polyamine in a molar ratio between 1:1 to 5:1 anhydride to polyamine.
7. An additive package as claimed in claim 5 wherein said anhydride contains a polyisobutenyl group of50 to 250 carbon atoms.
8. An additive package for use :in an oil formulation which comprises 50 to wt. percent of an ashless dispersant made by the reaction of a polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride with a tetraethylene pentaamine, 5 to 25 wt. percent of an antioxidant made from the reaction of P 5 with alpha pinene and 5 to 25 wt. percent of a phosphorothionyl disulfide of a nonyl phenol.

What a horrible world when parents have to actually, well, parent
In 'Point.Click.Kill.: A Father's Confession,' [former associate editor of Focus' Citizen magazine Jeff] Hooten details the contents of many of today's most popular games, offering parents an insider's perspective of a realm that most adults know only through the eyes and ears of their children.
'Sure, they're only games; exercises in digitized violence and virtual disfigurement. But we're not talking about Super Mario anymore,' Hooten writes. 'Nowadays the other characters talk to you, curse at you and, of course, often try to eliminate you. You can hear the sound of your own footsteps, or, worse yet, your enemies breathing.
'It won't be long before . . . I'll have to decide which games [my boys] can play, and how often.'
And who's deciding that now, Jeff? The evil corporations are beaming the games directly into your boys' heads without your say-so?

An accent chair is traditionally used to add a separate seating environment within existing room d�cor and to multipurpose a room for a different activity. For example, you might place an accent chair or two by a living room fireplace or in a corner away from the main seating area where people can sit by the fire, read a book or have a private conversation. Ideally, the accent chairs will complement the existing d�cor or perhaps highlight a secondary color in the room. Leather accent chairs and chaise lounges are very adaptable to many room styles. Smaller leather furniture on the periphery of a room can blend nicely with larger centrally placed sofas. Our quality accent leather chairs are exquisitely designed and handcrafted from select kiln-dried hardwood frames and 100 percent top grain Aniline dyed leather. Our 8-way hand-tied spring system provides comfort and support for many years. Styles range from traditional tufted leather accent chairs with nailhead trim to contemporary leather chairs with matching ottomans. We have leather tub chairs and leather wingback settees. Some of our chaise lounges with leather upholstery and leather accent chair models are imported; others are manufactured in our North Carolina factory. Whether it's a classic tufted leather accent chair or a leather accent club chair with nailhead base trim, these are luxurious pieces of furniture that were designed for maximum relaxation and timeless appeal.

text: SciQuest (NASDAQ: SQI), the largest pure-play provider of cloud-based business automation solutions for spend management, today announced that RTI International, one of the world's leading research institutes, has gone live with SciQuest's Enterprise Reagent Manager (ERM) solution. The deployment, completed in less than four months, enables RTI International to deploy ERM along with existing SciQuest business automation solutions, including Spend Director Enterprise, Order Manager and Requisition Manager. As a result, RTI gains greater control and visibility into spending processes while cutting costs and optimizing efficiency. SciQuest's Enterprise Reagent Manager is a chemical inventory software solution that enables faster discovery, greater cost savings and increased health and safety compliance for organizations procuring chemical reagents and other materials used in the research process. Users throughout RTI will now be able to find, source and track reagents and supplies needed for developing compounds from a single application. Combined with SciQuest's Spend Director, ERM delivers a fully automated workflow for requisitioning, approving, receiving and reconciling RTI's research materials. "We've been using SciQuest's business automation solutions to reduce costs and increase savings for years, and the Enterprise Reagent Manager adds another critical layer of efficiency and automation," said Scott Simerly, Director of Corporate Procurement/Subcontract Management at RTI International. "The compounds we develop require near-immediate access to appropriate supplies and materials, and ERM will facilitate that access. Over the years, SciQuest has evolved from a handy e-Procurement tool to an invaluable strategic partner helping us turn spending into savings." RTI International's Enterprise Reagent Manager implementation was an unmitigated success. Within 120 days of go-live, SciQuest's end-to-end solutions had helped RTI execute more than 3,000 purchase orders with 88 suppliers - both catalog and non-catalog suppliers – for purchase orders totaling more than $2.1 million. Users at RTI can now access ERM via a punch-out from Spend Director, resulting in improved researcher productivity with simultaneous searching of all available inventory and supplier catalogs, including search by chemical structure.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was denied twice for disability and waiting the the Virtual Screening unit to make a decision. I was told that I could work for light duty, etc. While looking for a job that requires no standing long, driving, etc. I was collection unemployment. I was a real estate agent but can not do that with my back and neck injuries, along with being blind in right eye, having anxiety and panick attacks. Is that legal and what are the ramifications if not? Thanks so much...
It is, technically, legal to collect unemployment while your Social Security disability application is pending, because the standards of disability under Social Security's rules are not the same as the standards for "able to work" under unemployment.
Be aware, though, that many Social Security judges do not look kindly on this. Even though they know it's not technically against the rules, some judges view it as "double-dipping" and may ask you to explain at your hearing why you claimed both benefits. You will definitely want to hire an experienced Social Security disability attorney prior to your hearing. An attorney will be able to develop your medical proof in the best way for Social Security's standards, and will protect you as much as possible at the hearing. If the judge denies your claim for an impermissible reason, then the attorney may be able to help you appeal, as well.Ask a similar question
As far as SSI or SSDI claims, collecting unemployment does not automatically disqualify you from collecting Social Security Disability. However, if you go to a hearing, the judge may use the fact that you stated to unemployment that you are ready, willing, and able to work as a factor to deny your claim. Of course any money you collect from unemployment could reduce, or depending upon the amount, eliminate your disability benefits for the months you get unemployment.
The Chief ALJ for Social Security has sent a memorandum to all ALJs reminding them that you can not be denied solely because you collected unemployment benefits. However, collecting benefits may be used to deny benefits if it is supported by other evidence that you are not disabled.
While it may take some time to be approved for benefits. File right away. The longer you are out of work the greater chance you will not have enough credits to qualify for SSDI. In addition, you could be entitled to back benefits depending upon when determine you were disabled.

text: Am i mad or stoopid or is this a good idea??? so my clean S3 has been let down by previous owners. the calipers are black with tacky S3 decals but with previous red paint coming through. Due to me being a tightass, and always looking for a cheap option, im considering leaving the calipers on the car and purchasing a portable sandblaster, which i can hook up to my compressor and giving them a quick sandblast so i can paint them black properly. good idea or am i being a div?

Ferzan Ozpetek, an openly gay director and a transplant from Turkey is clearly the leader in gay Italian films, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has changed Italian cinema and Italian culture with his films that put homosexuality in the mainstream.
Le Fate Ignoranti (His Secret Life) stars one of my favorite actresses, Margherita Buy, as a woman who discovers that her husband was gay only after he's hit with a car and dies. As she uncovers the world that he's hidden from her she finds a new one for herself. Also stars Stefano Corsi.
Also from Ozpetek and easy to find in the US, La Finestra di Fronte, (Facing WIndows) with Giovanna Mezzogiorno and Raoul Bova, in a movie with a very powerful gay subplot about a holocaust survivor with Alzheimer's disease who remembers just enough about his past to help an unhappy housewife find her way back to life.
WATCH INSTANTLY with subtitles
A bittersweet comedy, Mine Vaganti, Loose Cannons, also from Ozpetek, stars Riccardo Scamarcio and is about a young man's struggle to come out and is used as a kind of symbol for an Italian culture struggling to deal with a changing society. Scarmarcio singing 500 Mila is one of my favorite movie scenes.
WATCH INSTANTLY with subtitles
And one that I found disappointing, Saturno Contro (Saturn in Opposition), with a stellar cast that includes Margherita Buy, Stefano Accorsi, Pierfrancesco Favino, Filippo Timi, Luca Argentero and Ambra Angiolini, for god's sake, still manages to suck, somehow, with its stilted dialogue and a contrived storyline.
WATCH INSTANTLY with subtitles
My favorite from Ozpetek is hard to find in the US: Magnifica Presenza (A Magnificent Haunting) stars Elio Germano and Margherita Buy and is about a young gay actor that finds he has to share a house he's renting with a family of ghosts.
COMING SOON: Call Me By Your Name
Since we haven't had the chance to see it, we will rely on what Indie Wire calls a "Queer Masterpiece".
Luca Guadagnino's lush Italian romance premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews, including from IndieWire's David Ehrlich, who wrote of the director's work: "[Guadagnino] stays attuned to the raw energy of trying to feel someone out without touching them, of what it's like to live through that one magical summer where the weather is the only part of your world that doesn't change every day."
Based on the 2007 novel of the same name by André Aciman, "Call Me By Your Name" is an elegant and restrained romance between Elio (Timothée Chalamet), the 17-year-old son of an academic, and Oliver (Armie Hammer), the handsome American intern who has come to stay the summer in the Northern Italian villa Elio's family owns.
Italy's first film with a lesbian relationship in the protagonist roles is Maria Sole Tognazzi's 'Io E Lei (Me Myself and Her)', but half of the couple, Federica, isn't sure she likes the lable. Marina is a former B list actress that's gotten bored with her career and has bought a restaurant, out of the closet at a young age and comfortable in her own skin. Federica, in contrast has lived most of her life in heterosexual relationships, an architect with an ex-husband and a grown son. "I'm not a lesbian", she tells Marina, and the disdainful accent on the word lesbian is obvious. "You are the first woman I was ever attracted to."
Io E Lei stars Margherita Buy and Sabrina Ferilli.
The adorable Se Dio Vuole (God Willing) from director Edoardo Falcone stars Marco Giallini and Laura Morante as parents who think their son is gay, but it's something else…
In Paolo Genovese's (director of Perfetti Sconosciuti) 'Tutta Colpa Di Freud (Blame Freud)', Marco Giallini plays Francesco Taramelli, a psychiatrist with three daughters in the middle of three difficult and very different romantic complications, one a lesbian who decides she'd like to try playing for the other team. Her love affairs with women have ended sadly, and in an interesting twist on the usual reaction by the family, her decision to give it a go with men is met with scepticism by her father and sisters. "Just because I'm a psychiatrist it means I have to accept everything?
Director Daniele Luchetti shoved his mother out of the closet with an autobiographical story about his boyhood and his parent's sexuality, Anni Felici (Those Happy Years). This one is available on Italian DVD.
Via Castellana Bandiera (A Street in Palermo) stars the director, Emma Dante, and Alba Rohrwacher as a lesbian couple on the verge of a nervous breakdown. When two cars meet head on in an alley in which only one car can pass at a time, nobody wants to back down. This one has been making the rounds at festivals in the US and you can save it at Netflix.
Nobody is pushing the gay envelope like Checco Zalone, and his ode to the president of Barilla Pasta proves that Checco is no homophobe, but merely a guy who is working for change and enlightenment in his own goofy way. In the wildly successful Che Bella Giornata (made more money than La Vita È Bella in Italy) Checco stuns his gay cousin with a song he sings at the local gay bar.
One of my favorite gay storylines is in La Bestia Nel Cuore ( Don't Tell ). In this one the lesbians are friends of the main character, who is dealing with memories of incest, and their relationship is sweet and even funny. Played by two really wonderful actresses, Angela Finocchiaro and Stefania Rocca, the women find each other and help pull each other out of the depression that they find themselves in.
David's birthday, Il Compleanno, is lighter on the relationship and heavier on the sex in a story about a beach vacation that goes bad. A married man gets fixated on the handsome young model son of his best friends and isn't able to show self-control, unfortunately.
And in Io Sono L'amore ( I am love) there's a lot going on in the Recchi family, but in the midst of all of it, the daughter, played by Alba Rohrwacher, comes out. With Tilda Swinton, this one is a great story all around.
Io Sono L'Amore – I Am Love (English Subtitled) iTunes
Watch for a new comedy, out in Italian theaters just this past Christmas, with Raoul Bova and Paola Cortellesi called Scusate Se Esisto (Excuse Me For Living). This adorable couple, just friends, help each other through a critical time in both of their lives. Raoul, who is more than HOT, is also, unfortunately for Paola's character, gay.

VALENCIA Alex Marquez completed a clean sweep of Spanish world titles in the same season for the first time when he claimed the Moto3 championship with a third-placed finish at the Valencia Grand Prix on Sunday.
Australian Jack Miller won his sixth race of the season ahead of Isaac Vinales in second, but it wasn't enough to make up the 11-point advantage Marquez had in the championship standings heading into the final race of the season.
In the end the championship was decided by just two points as Marquez ended the campaign on 278 with Miller on 276 and Marquez's Honda teammate Alex Rins third on 237.
Marquez joins older brother and MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez and Moto2 champion Esteve Rabat as the winners of the three motorcycling classes for 2014.
"It's incredible. I thought it would be the race of my life and it was," said Marquez.
"I felt good throughout the race. I felt comfortable. I am so happy and I just want to thank everyone who has supported me through every moment."
A disappointed Miller, meanwhile, was left to take some consolation from adding another race victory to his tally for the year.
"I did what I could. We tried our hardest but in the end it was not enough," said the 19-year-old.
"We can be happy with the most victories this season and we finish on a victory so a big thank you to the Red Bull team, they helped me so much this year and I can't thank them enough."

It's not all the time that you find yourself in need of a replacement Exhaust Manifold for your vehicle. Make no mistake, you bought your Commercial Chassis because you understood you would be getting a variety of special features and American style both rolled up into one automobile. Your Buick dealership isn't the only place to buy the best parts to repair your Commercial Chassis. Anyone who operates a Buick knows that when it comes to repairing their automobile only the highest quality replacement parts will do.
Achieving maximum fuel efficiency while reducing emissions on your car or truck depends on the quality and performance of the parts you use. In order to make the combustion process as efficient as possible inside your Buick Commercial Chassis engine depends highly on how well your exhaust manifold tumbles exhaust gases away from the cylinder head. Should you develop a leak in your Buick Commercial Chassis exhaust manifold, then two negative side effects will result. First, your exhaust flow will change; potentially reversing the direction of the gases inside the exhaust manifold back into the combustion chamber. Second, you will emit exhaust gases before they reach the catalytic converter; creating an unpleasant smell and potentially hazardous condition for you and your passengers.
Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Buick Commercial Chassis part for your project or repair. When your Buick needs a new replacement Exhaust Manifold, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount.

Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office Annual Fall Awards Ceremony
The sound of laughter, smooth jazz, and the clink of champagne glasses rose out of Reidy Hall, located in the lower level of All Souls in New York City, on Friday evening, November 8th, 2013. Old friends were gathered around tables adorned with elegant flowing table cloths, felt snow, and glorious candlelight. Some had come from Boston, some from New York, some even from as far away as California, all to gather and celebrate the Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office and raise funds for the continued realization of its mission.
Intern and aspirant for Unitarian Universalist Ministry, Dylan Debelis, welcomed people into the space, lighting the chalice while reflecting on a meditation written by late All Souls minister, Reverend Forrest Church. This welcome was followed with a warm greeting by UU-UNO Director, Bruce Knotts.
Bruce recounted the necessary Human Rights work the UU-UNO participates in and explored the incredible journey the UU-UNO has been on over its past fifty-one years of service. He then introduced Dr. Holly Atkinson who in turn introduced Ken Roth, the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch, and the UU-UNO's Humanitarian of the Year. Ken Roth's speech highlighted heart wrenching human rights atrocities taking place around the world and stressed the role of Human Rights Watch, the UU-UNO, and other human rights organizations' in fighting these atrocities.
Coming back from a quick break where final bids were placed on a cornucopia of fabulous items at the silent auction Dylan again took the stage to share a poetic reflection on human rights. Bringing in experiences from his time studying in India, Tanzania, and Mexico Dylan underlined the necessity of Unitarian Universalists to fight social injustice on both a global and local level. This period of reflection was ended with a moment of silence to stand in solidarity with all those who suffer daily all around the globe and to reaffirm the Unitarian Universalist calling to work tirelessly for peace.
Dylan then introduced Dr. Marilyn Meher, UU-UNO Advisory Board Member, who presented the first award for outstanding volunteer efforts to Frank Patton. Frank was the pro-bono lawyer who worked ceaselessly to make the merger process between the UU-UNO and the UUA as seamless as possible. UU-UNO Envoy Coordinator, Kamila Jacob and UU-UNO Office and Intern Coordinator, Nickie Tiedeman then introduced a second volunteer award for the flawless filming and editing of the 2013 Intergenerational Spring Seminar to Janice Keuhnelian. This was followed by a 2 minute clip of the Spring Seminar video followed by an uproariously round of applause. Watch the video here!
The event concluded with a fabulous live auction led by experienced auctioneer, Armand Paganelli. Armand engaged the audience from the start, starting the auction by graciously raffling off a hundred dollar bill from his pocket. The audience began bidding immediately and a sense of friendly competiveness filled the room. Guests began bidding higher and higher. All inclusive vacations, private fitness classes, artwork, and other items were sold to the highest bidder.
The last item to be bid on, a chance to sponsor the UU-UNO's 2014 Intergenerational Spring Seminar, was by far the most successful. Collectively, people came together to raise over twelve thousand dollars for the cause. Bruce, nearly speechless at the generosity of his friends and colleagues, concluded the night by reciting moving words of appreciation and camaraderie.
Bellies full of food, drink, and gratitude, each person smiled wide as they left through the church doors into the cool autumn air. Many claimed that this would be an annual event they would certainly not miss anytime soon.

Miami, Florida (PressExposure) October 11, 2011 -- Radiocarbon dating lab Beta Analytic, Inc. is one of the sponsors of the XIII Congresso da Associação Brasileira de Estudos do Quaternário (ABEQUA) underway in Armação dos Búzios, Brazil. Beta Analytic Operations Manager for Latin America Martin Tesini is representing the company at the six-day event, which ends October 14, 2011. ABEQUA is the Association for Quaternary Studies in Brazil.
"I am glad to meet both current and potential clients at this congress. Many of them are still not aware of our sample forwarding office in Sao Paulo, which opened earlier this year. Quaternary researchers in Brazil will be happy to know that they don't have to wait for months to get their radiocarbon dating results. Beta Analytic's standard AMS turnaround time has been further reduced from 20 business days to 14 business days. Expedited services are also available. Moreover, our ISO 17025-accredited results already include Carbon-13/Carbon-12 measurements and calendar calibration when applicable," Mr. Tesini says.
Around 600 professionals from various fields of earth sciences are expected to attend the event held at the Hotel Atlântico Búzios. Nine plenary sessions, three fieldtrips, and several exhibitions, workshops, and mini-courses have been scheduled for this year's event. The congress is contemporaneous with the III Encontro do Quaternário Sulamericano (III Meeting of South American Quaternary). The theme of the joint event is "The South American Quaternary: Challenges and Perspectives."
ABEQUA is a scientific, non-profit organization established in 1984 to promote Quaternary studies in Brazil.

Jim Furyk, the 2005 champion, shot a six-under 66 for a four-shot halfway lead in the Nedbank Golf Challenge. The American's round was interrupted by a break of almost three hours for a thunderstorm, but his immaculate approach play gave him plentiful birdie chances as he pushed the overnight leader, Henrik Stenson, into second place after a 71.
Ernie Els had seven birdies to move into contention but bogeyed two par-five holes on the back nine to finish with a 67. "They felt like double-bogeys. I basically gave the guys almost three shots on the field there," Els said. "I feel like I am swinging nicely, hitting the ball solidly. I need to have two more of these days, and maybe even a little better."
Charl Schwartzel is in third place after a 69. Three successive birdies lifted him into a tie for second with Stenson but he dropped a shot at the 17th. Colin Montgomerie shot a quintuple bogey nine at the par-four 11th. His drive was in the rough and his next three shots hit trees before he found a greenside bunker with his fifth. It took him two more shots to get out of the sand and two putts to finish. He was last in the 12-man field with an overall 152 - 18 shots behind Furyk. AP

A couple on holiday attempting to take a romantic, beachside photo to bombard their Facebook friends with were aghast to find themselves thusly photobombed.
Don't these kids know that beaches are for meticulously crafted PDA shots only?
The couple turned to an audience of Internet strangers for help "fixing" the photo, which sounds a lot better than "get that rando kid out of my cushy vacay pic."
But if there's one thing that the Internet (and sites like Imgur especially) hates more than all else, it's Photoshop. Closely followed by "people."
What people? Just people. Just all people.
Needless to say, the duo got trolled to within an inch of their photogenic lives.
The results ranged from the meme-loving
Recommended: Photoshop Fail: North Korea Fakes Submarine Missile Launch Photo
To the whimsical
To the pointedly critical
We're especially fond of the 'shopping in of the D-Day soldiers, a wonderfully passive-aggressive way to point out the relative frivolousness of the couples' original request.
Then this nameless netizen went and ruined the party, by actually giving the couple what they wanted.
He was subsequently never heard from again.
The moral of the story? Let the poor kid hang out in the periphery of your PDA. Literally no one cares.

*Edit* I am currently putting this on hold. Will update the project once i work out a few kinks.
This project intends to provide more added functionalities to JBrowser project (https://code.google.com/p/jbrowser/)
This project was done for one of my projects at work. I just thought it would be great if others can also use it.
