Publication number: 20240124502Abstract: Organometallic complexes are described which are useful as pre-polymerization catalysts which may form part of olefin polymerization catalyst systems. The catalyst systems find use in the polymerization of ethylene, optionally with one or more C3-12 alpha-olefin comonomers. The organometallic complexes are broadly represented by formula I: wherein L is a bridging group containing a contiguous chain of atoms connecting P with Cy, wherein the contiguous chain contains 2 or 3 atoms and wherein Cy is a cyclopentadienyl-type ligand. The olefin polymerization catalyst system is effective at polymerizing ethylene with alpha-olefins in a solution phase polymerization process at high temperatures and produces ethylene copolymers with high molecular weight and high degrees of alpha-olefin incorporation. Pre-metallation compounds, metallation processes and synthetic methods to make the organometallic complexes as well as polymerization processes are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Cheng FAN, Charles CARTER, Darryl MORRISON, Xiaoliang GAO, James T.

SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING INTENSITY LEVEL AND COLOR OF LIGHTING DEVICES ACCORDING TO A SHOW
Publication number: 20240107648Abstract: A lighting device may include one or more light sources, a load control circuit configured to control an amount of power delivered to each of the one or more light sources, and a control circuit for controlling the load control circuit to control an intensity level and a color of the cumulative light emitted by the one or more light sources. The control circuit may be configured to generate a show. For example, the control circuit may be configured to receive, via the communication circuit, show information and auxiliary information from a computing device in one or more messages. The control circuit may be configured to store the show information and the auxiliary information in memory of the lighting device. The control circuit may be configured to receive, via the communication circuit, a command to execute a show in a message, and in response, generate the show.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Lutron Technology Company LLCInventors: Henry Garant, Andrew Robert Heller-Jones, Dat Ho, Charles Kelley, Braeden Morrison -

Publication number: 20240058840Abstract: A coated article for use as a display screen for automotive displays includes a substrate that is a glass or a glass ceramic and has at least one surface, and an ETC coating bonded to the surface of the substrate by inkjet printing. A method for applying the ETC coating onto the substrate to produce the coated articles includes providing the substrate having the surface, where the substrate is a glass substrate or a glass ceramic substrate. The method further includes preparing an ETC coating composition that includes a polymer and a solvent. The viscosity of the ETC coating composition is from 2 cP to 30 cP. The method further includes inkjet printing the ETC coating composition onto the surface of the substrate and curing the ETC coating composition to produce the ETC coating. Inkjet printing increases the durability and uniformity of the ETC coating.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Philip Simon Brown, Brandy Wright Fuller, Charles Morrison Gardiner, Mandakini Kanungo, Carlo Anthony Kosik Williams, Manoj Meda

Patent number: 8620243Abstract: A method a system for receiving signals from plural frequency bands and plural communication protocols. An interchangeable radio frequency (“RF”) front end may receive RF signals from plural frequency bands and plural communication protocols. Intermediate frequency (“IF”) circuitry may produce one or more common IF signals from the received RF signals. A common digital back end may then receive digitized versions of the IF signals, modify IF signal bandwidth as a function of the plural communication protocols, and process plural received signals without knowledge of the underlying communication protocols.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2009Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Anite Finland OyInventors: Steven Thompson, Charles Morrison

Patent number: 8413121Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for storing trace events in a database table includes reading a group of parameters from the table. The group of parameters includes parameters indicative of the maximum number of records, the most recently added record, and the total number of records in the table. The method further includes receiving a trace event. The method also includes storing the trace event as a record in the table based on the group of parameters. The method further includes updating the group of parameters before receiving the next trace event.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2006Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: CA, Inc.Inventors: Paul A. Hinkley, Charles Morrison

Patent number: 7383760Abstract: A method of making flechettes employing the use of a progressive die which forms (a) wire that results in the flechette, and (b) strip material that results in a carrier for the finished flechettes. The carrier, which is a bandolier apparatus, is used for progressing the flechette through the progressive die at various forming stations. After forming of the flechette in the die is complete, the final flechette can be severed from the bandolier, or the flechette can remain intact with the bandolier for post-forming operations, such as coating/finishing. The bandolier is thus a novel approach to transporting the flechettes in both forming and post-forming processing.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2005Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Penn United Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Charles Morrison Phillips, William Harry Rodgers, Michael Wayne Kelley, Robert Anthony Gagliardi, Regis A.
