Abstract: Techniques for real-time observation assessment are provided. The techniques, which are designed for educators, take advantage of handheld computers, desktop/laptop computers and Internet access in order to reduce the paperwork associated with conventional educational assessments. An array of instructional assessment applications are designed to run on handheld computers. The instructional assessment applications may be based on existing and widely used paper methodologies. A common Web-based platform for assessment application distribution, selection, download, data management and reporting is also provided. Users can then periodically synchronize instructional data (assessments, diagnostic results, notes and/or schedules) to the Web site. At the Web site, browser-based reports and analysis can be viewed, administered and shared via electronic mail.

Abstract: A copolymer of ethylene and a higher alpha-olefin having broadened melt processing windows and reduced melt fracture can be produced using a chromium-containing catalyst system and a trialkyl boron cocatalyst. The polymerization process must be carefully controlled to produce a copolymer resin that easily can be made into articles of manufacture.

Abstract: Apparatus for removing a concentrated slurry from a flowing stream of slurry in a conduit characterized by a channel in an outlet area of the conduit, the outlet being adapted to continuously remove slurry. In a specific embodiment, an olefin polymerization apparatus is disclosed wherein monomer, diluent and catalyst are circulated in a continuous pipe loop reactor and product slurry is recovered by a continuous product take off means. The pipe has a channel or groove leading to the continuous product take off means. In one embodiment, the slurry is heated in a flash line heater and passed to a high pressure flash where a majority of the diluent is separated and thereafter condensed by simple heat exchange, without compression, and thereafter recycled, bottoms from the high pressure flash being passed to a low pressure flash where polymer is recovered and entrained liquid is flashed overhead. In another embodiment the flash line feeds a single flash chamber.

Abstract: A process to control the heat transfer coefficient in slurry olefin polymerization processes comprising shocking the polymerization reactor is provided. This shock comprises quickly decreasing and then restoring to normal operating conditions, the higher alpha-olefin comonomer to ethylene monomer weight feed ratio.

Abstract: A universal spreader attachment consisting of an inverted triangular hopper hung from the cross-brace support of the handlebars of a lawnmower, with holes drilled in the bottom of the hopper to allow the substance being spread to disperse onto the lawn. The holes are opened and closed by moving a sliding member, which has corresponding holes drilled into it.

Abstract: Pigmentary copper phthalocyanine is prepared by converting crude copper phthalocyanine by methods known per se in the presence of trichlorophenoxy copper phthalocyanine. The resulting pigment is heat resistant and solvent resistant.
