  • Publication number: 20170183433
    Abstract: Catalyst systems and methods for making and using the same. A method of methylating a catalyst composition while substantially normalizing the entiomeric distribution is provided. The method includes slurrying the organometallic compound in dimethoxyethane (DME), and adding a solution of RMgBr in DME, wherein R is a methyl group or a benzyl group, and wherein the RMgBr is greater than about 2.3 equivalents relative to the organometallic compound. After the addition of the RMgBr, the slurry is mixed for at least about four hours. An alkylated organometallic is isolated, wherein the methylated species has a meso/rac ratio that is between about 0.9 and about 1.2.

  • Publication number: 20170175476
    Abstract: The present invention provides a modular electrical feedthrough system for use in offshore and top-side electrical submersible pump (“ESP”) installations. A modular electrical connection system includes a stab receptacle assembly for mating with a stab plug assembly and a compliance mount. The stab plug assembly includes stab plugs and guide funnels adapted to guide the stab receptacles into a mating position with the stab plugs. The compliance mount compensates for physical misalignment between stab receptacles and stab plugs. A tubing hanger assembly forms a pressure barrier at a production bore by use of a tubing hanger penetrator assembly including a set of seals to isolate the electrical penetrator from the production bore. A secondary penetrator assembly provides a redundant pressure barrier for increased safety and system reliability.

  • Patent number: 9655515
    Abstract: In the field of eye tracking, greater accuracy or resolution in monitoring movement of the eye can be gained by digitizing the eye, and tracking the movement of a landmark with fixed size and a fixed location relative to the eye's local coordinate system. The edge of the iris can be used as such a fixed landmark. Through the location and or establishment of at least a portion of the outer edge of the iris and/or an iris center point, both large and small scale eye movements, including but not limited to micro-tremors, can be traced with a higher degree of accuracy. This will aid in the diagnosis of diseases, assessing state of consciousness, and defining brainstem death.

  • Patent number: 9611054
    Abstract: A technique is directed to launching an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The technique involves attaching a UAV launcher to a hand-held weapon, and installing a UAV onto the UAV launcher while the UAV launcher is attached to the hand-held weapon. The technique further involves activating the hand-held weapon to launch the UAV into flight from the UAV launcher. Since a user already may be carrying the hand-held weapon for firing ammunition, the user simply needs to further carry the UAV launcher and the UAV which, in some situations, can be packaged into an easy-to-carry container such as a backpack, a carrying case, and so on.

  • Publication number: 20170036786
    Abstract: A passive thermal system for use in aerospace vehicles includes a first passive thermal panel having at least one internal resident heat pipe, wherein the first passive thermal panel is further configured to provide an embedded interface between a portion of the resident heat pipe and at least one heat pipe extending from a neighboring passive thermal panel. The embedded interface is facilitated via an internal channel that is adjacent to the internal resident heat pipe. The channel is dimensioned and arranged to receive a portion of a heat pipe extending from a passive thermal panel that will be situated adjacent to the first passive thermal panel. The embedded interface is also facilitated by an arrangement that imparts a compressive force to the non-resident heat pipe that urges it against the resident heat pipe.
