Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(1) As used herein, the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” “has,” “having,” “contains”, “containing,” “characterized by” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, subject to any limitation explicitly indicated. For example, a composition, mixture, process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such composition, mixture, process, method, article, or apparatus.

(2) The transitional phrase “consisting of” excludes any element, step, or ingredient not specified. If in the claim, such phrase would close the claim to the inclusion of materials other than those recited except for impurities ordinarily associated therewith. When the phrase “consisting of” appears in a clause of the body of a claim, rather than immediately following the preamble, it limits only the element set forth in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole.

(3) Where applicants have defined an invention or a portion thereof with an open-ended term such as “comprising,” it should be readily understood that (unless otherwise stated) the description should be interpreted to also describe such an invention using the terms “consisting essentially of” or “consisting of.”

(4) Further, unless expressly stated to the contrary, “or” refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present).

(5) Also, the indefinite articles “a” and “an” preceding an element or component of the invention are intended to be nonrestrictive regarding the number of instances (i.e. occurrences) of the element or component. Therefore “a” or “an” should be read to include one or at least one, and the singular word form of the element or component also includes the plural unless the number is obviously meant to be singular.

(6) The term “ambient temperature” or “room temperature” as used in this disclosure refers to a temperature between about 18° C. and about 28° C.

(7) In the above recitations, the term “alkyl”, includes straight-chain or branched alkyl, such as, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, or the different butyl isomers. As used herein, haloalkanes are alkanes partially or fully substituted with halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine). Examples of haloalkanes include CH.sub.2Cl.sub.2, ClCH.sub.2CH.sub.2Cl, ClCH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.2CH.sub.3, and CCl.sub.3CH.sub.3. Halogenated benzenes are benzenes partially or fully substituted with halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine). Examples of halogenated benzenes include chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene and bromobenzene. C.sub.7-C.sub.10 aromatic hydrocarbons are compounds containing one benzene ring which is substituted with alkyl groups. Examples of C.sub.7-C.sub.10 aromatic hydrocarbons include toluene, xylenes, ethyl benzene and cumene (isopropylbenzene). C.sub.5-C.sub.10 aliphatic hydrocarbons are straight-chain or branched hydrocarbons. Examples of C.sub.5-C.sub.10 aliphatic hydrocarbons include n-hexane, mixed hexanes, n-heptane and mixed heptanes. C.sub.5-C.sub.10 cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons are cyclic hydrocarbons that can be substituted with straight-chain or branched alkyl groups. Examples of C.sub.5-C.sub.10 cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons include cyclopentane, methylcyclopentane, cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane.
