Appeal No. 95-4081
Application 08/071,895
oxidation inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, foam
inhibitors, and friction modifiers.
9. Burjes notes that (col. 2, lines 53-60; emphasis
added):
More recently, new demands are being placed on
lubricants to be used in gear applications. Increases in
commercial vehicle power and loading require the
lubricant to be available to withstand severe thermal
stressing while protecting the equipment being
lubricated. Thus, the high temperature stability (e.g.,
above about 160EC.) of lubricants designed for gear
applications is a significant consideration.
10. Burjes explains his invention as follows (col.
2, lines 63-68):
This invention is directed to borated amine salts of
dihydrocarbyl monothiophosphoric acids, and to
lubricating and functional fluid compositions containing
said borated amine salts. The lubricating and functional
fluid compositions have improved extreme pressure
properties and high temperature stability.
11. Describing oils of lubricating viscosity, Burjes
describes the following (col. 29, lines 35-52; emphasis
added):
