  • Publication number: 20050043496
    Abstract: Transition metal complexes of selected monoanionic phosphine ligands, which also contain a selected Group 15 or 16 (IUPAC) element and which are coordinated to a Group 3 to 11 (IUPAC) transition metal or a lanthanide metal, are polymerization catalysts for the (co)polymerization of olefins such as ethylene and ?-olefins, and the copolymerization of such olefins with polar group-containing olefins. These and other nickel complexes of neutral and monoanionic bidentate ligands copolymerize ethylene and polar comonomers, especially acrylates, at relatively high ethylene pressures and surprisingly high temperatures, and give good incorporation of the polar comonomers and good polymer productivity. These copolymers are often unique structures, which are described.

  • Publication number: 20050020789
    Abstract: Ethylene and/or propylene, and ?-olefins may be copolymerized by contacting then with certain iron or cobalt complexes of selected 2,6-pyridinecarboxaldehydebis(imines) and 2,6-diacylpyridinebis(imines). The polymers produced, some of which are novel, are useful as molding resins.

  • Patent number: 4649513
    Abstract: A method and a system for creating visual displays in a visual display device of data from an input data set. First, at least one of a plurality of stored sources of resource information is selected. Each of these sources is defined by and under the control of signals stored in a plurality of page definition files. These page definition files are stored separately from the input data set and the sources of resource information. Visual-presentation control signals are embedded into this input data set to generate an output data set. This selected resource information and the output data set are then stored in a local memory for enabling the desired visual displays.
