Abstract: A shale shaker comprises a base and at least one deck coupled to the base. The deck is configured to support a mud screen. The shake also comprises a support frame coupled to the base and further includes an asymmetric planetary drive assembly coupled to the support frame for vibrating the support frame and the deck. The asymmetric planetary drive assembly comprises a flywheel gearbox a planetary gear and at least one eccentric weight coupled to the planetary gear. The planetary gear comprises a central axis bore that receives a planetary gear shaft through a central hole in the planetary gear. The gearbox receives a main shaft through a central hole in the flywheel gearbox. The planetary gear shaft is offset from the main shaft. The eccentric weight is coupled to the planetary gear offset from the main shaft.
Abstract: Methods of polymerizing at least one olefin include contacting the olefin with a catalyst comprising chromium and with a cocatalyst comprising a non-transition metal cyclopentadienyl (Cp) compound. The polymerization may be performed in the presence of hydrogen. Using the cocatalyst in conjunction with the catalyst increases several properties, such as the high load melt index (HLMI), the MW, and the MN, of the polymers produced by this polymerization method. Polymer compositions produced by such methods have various unique properties, including a PDI greater than about 30. Additional embodiments include articles of manufacture or end use articles formed from such polymer compositions.
