  • Publication number: 20170327604
    Abstract: A catalyst system comprising a combination of: 1) an activator; 2) one or more metallocene catalyst compounds; 3) a support comprising an organosilica material, which is a mesoporous organosilica material. The organosilica material is a polymer of at least one monomer of Formula [Z1OZ2 SiCh2]3(i), where Z1 represents a hydrogen atom, a C1-C4 alkyl group, or a bond to a silic-on atom of another monomer and Z2 represents a hydroxyl group, a C1-C4alkoxy group, a C1-C6 salkyl group, or an oxygen atom bonded to a silicon atom of another monomer. This invention further relates to processes to polymerize olefins comprising contacting one or more olefins with the above catalyst system.

  • Patent number: 4444545
    Abstract: This is a digital solid state control system for pumping liquid to regulate the condition of the liquid in a container, such as the liquid level. One pump is turned on when the liquid rises to one level, and another pump is turned on when the liquid rises to a higher level. An alarm is activated if the liquid rises to a still higher level or if a leak occurs in either pump. The control system alternates which pump turns on first in successive operating cycles. If a power failure occurs while both pumps are on, when power is restored only one pump comes on immediately; the other comes on only after a time delay.
