  • Publication number: 20160125061
    Abstract: A server and method for providing a content selection is provided. The server receives content targeting parameters and obtains content items from at least one content site based on the content targeting parameters. The server can further identify content descriptors for the content items and generate a first content cluster from a subset of the content items based on the content descriptors. The server can further generate a second content cluster from a second subset of the content items based on the content descriptors and rank the first and the second content clusters in an order of usefulness. The ranking of the content clusters can be based on at least one of an importance of content, a recentness of the content items and a size of the content cluster.

  • Patent number: 6486273
    Abstract: A supported catalyst for the polymerization of olefins, especially ethylene, has at least two catalyst components having different propagation and/or termination constants. Each catalyst component must have at least one phosphinimine ligand. The polymer produced according to this invention has a broad molecular weight distribution. Catalysts according to this invention have a very surprising and desirable hydrogen response.
