  • Publication number: 20250257084
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20250256849
    Abstract: A passenger seat for facilitating seating passengers with reduced mobilities (PRM) in a conveyance such as an aircraft. The passenger seat includes a motion subassembly and a decoupling mechanism configured to couple the motion assembly to the seat back, and decouple the motion assembly from the seat back to lock the seat back in an upright position such that the passenger seat can be translated forward to a position nearer, for example, an aisle. In use, decoupling and seat back locking occur in a synchronous manner, as does coupling and seat back unlocking action thereby allowing seat back recline motion. In embodiments, the passenger seat includes a manual release lever for actuating the decoupling mechanism to decouple the seat back motion subassembly.

  • Publication number: 20250258462
    Abstract: The present invention is a digital timekeeping system that integrates standard civil time with real-time astronomical data, including sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset. Utilizing ephemeris calculations, the system dynamically adjusts a 360° clockface to reflect varying day and night lengths based on the user's geographic location and date. Sunrise is anchored at left and sunset at right, dividing the clockface into equal and distinct daytime and nighttime arcs. Hour indices are proportionally spaced to represent actual daylight and darkness durations, creating intuitive time visualization. Sun and moon indicators traverse the dial, positioning themselves in the upper semicircle when above the horizon and in the lower semicircle when below. This solution adapts to diverse geographic conditions, including polar regions, providing an intuitive representation of celestial movements alongside conventional timekeeping.
