Publication number: 20240043589Abstract: Propylene-ethylene copolymers are provided that exhibit superior tensile strength and mechanical properties due to their specific propylene and ethylene content, triad tacticity, viscosity, and crystallinity. Moreover, we have discovered that certain processing conditions, such as polymerization temperature and external donor to catalyst ratios, can facilitate the production of the high tensile strength propylene-ethylene copolymers described herein. Furthermore, the high tensile strength propylene-ethylene copolymers may be used to produce a variety of hot melt adhesives, such as those for hygiene applications, woodworking applications, lamination applications, and packaging applications, which exhibit unique and superior mechanical properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Jianning Liu, Marc Stacey Somers, Bennett Haines Novak, Raymond Prescott Cottle, Bee Kim Liew, Andrea Gail Hagood, Terri Roxanne Carvagno

Publication number: 20040111428Abstract: An apparatus, system and method are provided for generating relationships between client objects, business objects, external objects, and a persistence mechanism such as a database that model an enterprise application. The apparatus and system are thus a set of tools that can be used by a developer or other user to facilitate the development of enterprise business applications. The database tool generates code for correlating business, client, external, and other specifications. Object inheritance, collections, and other object-related issues are accommodated by the present invention. A deployment tool performs all of the logical steps necessary to move code (or binaries) from one environment to another, such as from a development environment to a production environment. Finally, a proxy tool generates one or more proxies and other handler objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2002Publication date: June 10, 2004Applicant: Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLCInventors: Surya Rajan, Britt S.
