Patent number: 11953201Abstract: A combustion system includes a distal flame holder, a pilot fuel distributor, a main fuel distributor, an oxidant source, an array of sensors, and a controller. The oxidant source outputs an oxidant. The pilot fuel distributor supports a pilot flame configured to preheat the distal flame holder by outputting a pilot fuel at least when the combustion system is in a preheating state. The main fuel source outputs a main fuel in the standard operating state. The distal flame holder is configured to support a combustion reaction of the main fuel and the oxidant in the standard operating state. The sensors are configured to sense parameters of the pilot flame and the distal flame holder and to output sensor signals to the controller. The controller executes software instructions that include adjusting the flow of the main fuel, the pilot fuel, and the oxidant responsive to the sensor signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: ClearSign Technologies CorporationInventors: Douglas W. Karkow, Donald Kendrick, James K. Dansie, Christopher A. Wiklof

Patent number: 11117979Abstract: Processes and apparatus for preparing bimodal polymers are provided. In some embodiments, processes include introducing a monomer, a first diluent, a catalyst, hydrogen, at a first hydrogen concentration, and optional comonomer, to a first loop reactor to produce, under polymerization conditions, a first slurry of polymer solids. Processes may also include continuously discharging the first slurry of polymer solids from the loop reactor as a first polymerization effluent to a first flash tank; separating the first polymerization effluent in the first flash tank to provide a first concentrated polymer slurry with significantly lower hydrogen concentration; and transferring the first concentrated polymer slurry from the flash tank to a re-slurry mixer. Processes may further include introducing a re-slurry mixer diluent to the first concentrated polymer slurry to form a second concentrated polymer slurry in the re-slurry mixer that can be pumped to a second slurry loop reactor.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2020Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Keith W.

Publication number: 20120118450Abstract: With proper care this cover will continue to protect your valuable 3D target for years. It is UV resistant and water resistant. These are the main two elements that cause damage to 3D targets. We have included two three foot nylon cords to be used for securing your cover to your target. You can use them by tying off to a stake from the top loops on your cover, or by using the lower loops and tying off directly to the legs. The cover will fit most targets up to 45? long. You may need to remove the horns when taking on and off the cover. However, most will fit through the hole with cinch down cord. This hole also allows moisture to escape from inside the cover. Please note: The color of your target cover may fade after long periods in direct sunlight. However, this will not affect the performance of your target cover. Glenrock Archery Products recommends periodic treatments with Nickwax “Tent and Gear Solar Proof”.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2010Publication date: May 17, 2012Inventor: Randall James Kendrick

Patent number: 7632901Abstract: Methods of making supported chromium catalyst systems and processes of polymerizing ethylene using the supported chromium catalyst systems are disclosed. A method of forming a catalyst system in a polymerization reactor includes contacting a supported chromium catalyst and a metal alkyl cocatalyst by cofeeding the catalyst and cocatalyst to the reactor or feeding the catalyst and cocatalyst separately to the reactor, to form a catalyst system. The catalyst and cocatalyst are not pre-contacted prior to the feeding or cofeeding step. The catalyst system can be contacted with ethylene and optional alpha-olefin comonomer to form polyethylene.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2003Date of Patent: December 15, 2009Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Stanley J.

Patent number: 6921798Abstract: Polymerization processes are disclosed for producing polyethylene having a target density and improved environmental stress resistance. Ethylene and optionally one or more ?-olefin comonomers, supported chromium catalyst, and metal alkyl cocatalyst are contacted to produce polyethylene. The density of the polyethylene is determined, and the concentration of cocatalyst is adjusted in response to a deviation between the density of the polyethylene and the target density. The catalyst and cocatalyst can be fed separately into the reactor, or can be co-fed, eliminating the need to pre-contact the catalyst and cocatalyst prior to introducing them into the reactor.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2003Date of Patent: July 26, 2005Assignee: ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: James A.
