Patent number: 10619036Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multimodal polyethylene copolymer comprising a first and a second copolymer of ethylene and at least two alpha-olefin comonomers. The multimodal polyethylene copolymer is highly suitable for the production of films providing high impact strength in the sense of high Dart drop impact strength (DDI) and low extractables. The invention further presents final articles such as films made therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2016Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Borealis AGInventors: Ravindra Tupe, John Jamieson, Jarmo Kela, Alexandra Romina Albunia, Ricardo Godoy-Lopez, Markku Vahteri

Patent number: 10584196Abstract: A process for producing copolymers of ethylene and at least one alpha-olefin having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms in the presence of a solid Ziegler-Natta catalyst comprising of magnesium, titanium, halogen and an internal organic compound, the copolymer having a density of from 906 to 937 kg/m3 and a melt flow rate MFR21 measured at 190° C. under 21.6 kg load of from 3 to 150 g/10 min. The process includes the steps of (A) homopolymerising ethylene or copolymerising ethylene and a first alpha-olefin having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms in a first polymerisation stage in the presence of the polymerisation catalyst, hydrogen and optionally the first alpha-olefin; (B) copolymerising ethylene and a second alpha-olefin having from 4 to 10 carbon atoms in a second polymerisation stage in the presence of the first homo- or copolymer of ethylene and the Ziegler-Natta catalyst; and (C) recovering the polymer mixture.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: BOREALIS AGInventors: Alexandra Romina Albunia, Ravindra Tupe, Victor Sumerin, John Jamieson, Jani Aho, Markku Vahteri, Jarmo Kela, Renate Eckmayr

Patent number: 10576509Abstract: An all-in-one cleaning device, e.g., such as may be used in cleaning the inside of a shower. The device may provide the ability to dispense the composition carried within the device itself, and scrub the composition into or against the surfaces to be cleaned (e.g., shower walls, floors, corners, etc.). Activation of the dispensing mechanism of the cleaning device may dispense a metered dose of composition, in a generally horizontal direction, onto and/or into a nonwoven or other substrate. The dispensing mechanism may not rely on gravity for dispensing, and may be sealed to prevent unwanted backflow of shower water or other material, preventing contamination.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: THE CLOROX COMPANYInventors: Kristina Perlas, Jared Heymann, Steven J. Tomkins, Rashda Khan, Aidee Duarte, Kerry D. Azelton, Abhishek Shetty, Arun Agarwal, Sacha Connor, Miranda Helmer, Selina Wang, HyunJoo Lee, Courtney Lytle, John Jamieson, Janiece Hope

Patent number: 10375285Abstract: Systems and methods facilitate iteratively inspecting a high resolution image of a camera subassembly glass element, to determine whether dust is present, and cleaning of same. By examining the size, number, and location of the dust particles it can be determined whether the dust is likely to cause issues when the camera subassembly is integrated into a fully assembled document scanner. Other anomalies, contaminants, and defects which could affect camera image quality, such as scratches on the glass covering, can also be detected. Software may control the capturing of the high resolution images of the camera subassembly glass and can determine a fail state if the anomaly is above a predetermined threshold. The systems and method can be used as acceptance criteria of individual camera subassemblies from a manufacturer.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2018Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: KODAK ALARIS INC.Inventors: Robert Johnson, John Jamieson
