  • Publication number: 20090106308
    Abstract: Complexity criteria corresponding to the various data object parameters are received by a processing apparatus via a user interface. Values corresponding to one or more of the data object parameters are determined for a data object and subsequently compared to that portion of the complexity criteria corresponding to the one or more data object parameters. Based on this comparison, at least one complexity parameter rating may be determined for the one or more data object parameters. Based on the one or more complexity parameter ratings, an overall complexity rating for the data object, or an estimated effort for transforming the data object, may be determined. By allowing a user to define the complexity criteria, the subjectivity necessarily present in conventional assessments of data object complexity may be substantially eliminated and analysis throughput substantially increased.

  • Publication number: 20050090381
    Abstract: Catalyst compositions useful for the polymerization of olefins are disclosed. These compositions comprise a Group 8-10 metal complex comprising a bidentate or variable denticity ligand comprising one or two nitrogen donor atom or atoms independently substituted by an aromatic or heteroaromafic ring(s), wherein the ortho positions of said ring(s) are substituted by aryl or heteroaryl groups. Also disclosed are processes for the polymerization of olefins using the catalyst compositions.

  • Publication number: 20050090630
    Abstract: Methods for preparing olefin polymers, and catalysts for preparing olefin polymers are disclosed. The polymers can be prepared by contacting the corresponding monomers with a Group 8-10 transition metal catalyst and a solid support. The polymers are suitable for processing in conventional extrusion processes, and can be formed into high barrier sheets or films, or low molecular weight resins for use in synthetic waxes in wax coatings or as emulsions.
