Appl. No.:

10/895304

Inventors:

Kelly Kim - Glendale CA, US

International Classification:

G02C007/08

US Classification:

351 57, 351 47, 351138

Abstract:

A multi-purpose eyeglass set comprises base lenses, a base bridge connecting inner portions of the base lenses, a substantially curved support having a mid portion and wing portions extending from each end of the mid portion so that the mid portion is attached to the base bridge, cover lenses, and a cover bridge connecting inner portions of the cover lenses. The cover bridge has a hook extending from a mid portion thereof so that the curved support mid portion is clipped over by the cover bridge hook when required.

International Classification:

C07C 1/24

US Classification:

585324

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to methods of forming olefins, especially linear alpha olefins from fatty acids or anhydrides, each method comprising: contacting an amount of precursor carboxylic acid anhydride with a palladium catalyst comprising a bidentate bis-phosphine ligand in a reaction mixture so as to form an olefin in a product with the concomittant formation and removal of CO and water from the reaction mixture, either directly or indirectly, wherein the reaction mixture is maintained with a sub-stoichiometric excess of a sacrificial carboxylic acid anhydride, an organic acid, or both, said sub-stoichiometric excess being relative to the amount of the precursor carboxylic acid anhydride. The precursor carboxylic acid anhydride may be added to the reaction mixture directly or formed in situ by the reaction between at least one precursor carboxylic acid with a stoichiometric amount of the sacrificial acid anhydride.
