  • Patent number: 11934770
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to an annotation system having a remote processor, and a client processor in data communication with the remote processor. The client processor is adapted to send a first request for an electronic file to the remote processor, receive the electronic file from the remote processor, define at least one new annotation about the electronic file, and define at least one anchor associated with the at least one annotation. The at least one of the remote processor and the client processor is adapted to store the at least one anchor and the at least one annotation in an annotation file that is separate from the electronic file.

  • Patent number: 9879098
    Abstract: In the high pressure polymerization of ethylene homopolymers or copolymers, conditions in the high pressure recycle system may lead to the build-up of low molecular weight oligomers and waxes. Sequentially draining knock-out pots, located downstream of a high pressure separator, at regular intervals can reduce the build-up of low molecular weight oligomers and waxes during the high pressure polymerization of alpha olefins.

  • Publication number: 20080017655
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a food container assembly that includes a plurality of pre-packaged rigid containers, each containing an amount of food, that are vertically stacked within a tubular receptacle having oxygen (and optionally moisture) barrier properties. Each container (1) includes: (i) a bowl (11) having a closed bottom (14), an inner surface (17) defining a bowl interior (20), and an upper rim (23) defining an open top (26); (ii) a sleeve (29) having an outer surface (32) and a lower edge (35), and extending downwardly from upper rim (23) of bowl (11); (iii) an amount of food (44) residing within bowl interior (20); and (iv) a removable polymer film (47) sealingly engaging upper rim (23) of bowl (11), thereby sealing open top (26) of bowl (11) and containing food (44) within bowl interior (20). The plurality of containers (1) are arranged in a vertical stack (e.g., 2 or 3) having an outer edge (53).
