  • Publication number: 20190378178
    Abstract: An approach is provided for generating a review of a product. An amount of usage of the product by a user is received from an energy monitoring device. It is determined that the amount of usage of the product exceeds a threshold amount. A message is sent to a computer utilized by the user. The message requests the user to author content that comments on the product. The content is authored by the user in response to the sending of the message and the content is received. A review of the product is generated by combining the content with an indication of the amount of usage of the product by the user.

  • Patent number: 5756656
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a copolymer of carbon monoxide with an olefinically unsaturated compound, comprising copolymerizing the monomers in the presence of a Group VIII metal containing catalyst composition and in the presence of an olefinically unsaturated compound (A) which contains in its molecular structure an organic group imparting steric hindrance on the vinyl group. A copolymer obtainable by the said process.

  • Patent number: 5741939
    Abstract: A process for the copolymerization of carbon monoxide with an olefinically unsaturated compound comprising contacting the monomers in the presence of a liquid diluent with a catalyst composition which is based on(a) a source of a Group VIII metal,(b) a bidentate ligand of the general formulaR.sup.1 R.sup.2 M.sup.1 --R--M.sup.2 R.sup.3 R.sup.4 wherein M.sup.1 and M.sup.2 independently represent a phosphorus, arsenic or antimony atom, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 independently represent unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbyl groups on the understanding that at least one of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 represents a polar substituted aryl group and R represents a bivalent bridging group containing at least two carbon atoms in the bridge, and(c) a boron hydrocarbyl compound,with application of a stirring power transmitted to the polymerization mixture of at least 0.25 kW/m.sup.3.

  • Patent number: 5670611
    Abstract: A process for the copolymerization of carbon monoxide with an olefinically unsaturated compound in which a solid particulate material is suspended in a liquid diluent in which the polymer to be produced forms a suspension. The monomers are contracted in the liquid diluent containing the suspended solid particulate material with a catalyst composition which is based on a source of a Group VIII metal and a boron hydrocarbyl compound.

  • Patent number: 5668249
    Abstract: A process for the copolymerization of carbon monoxide with an olefinically unsaturated compound in which the monomers are contacted in the presence of a liquid diluent and a protic compound with a catalyst composition which is based on a source of a Group VIII metal and a hydrocarbylborane. A stirring power is transmitted to the polymerization mixture of at least 0.25 kW/m.sup.3.

  • Patent number: 5658982
    Abstract: A process for the copolymerization of carbon monoxide with an olefinically unsaturated in which the monomers are contacted with a catalyst composition which is based on a source of a Group VIII metal and a boron hydrocarbyl compound. Additional boron hydrocarbyl compound is added to the polymerization mixture during the copolymerization or when the catalyst has lost its activity. A process for recycling a polymerization catalyst is also presented. It includes the steps of recovering a Group VIII metal composition from a preceding copolymerization process for the preparation of a copolymer of carbon monoxide and an olefinicaIly unsaturated compound and adding a boron hydrocarbyl compound to the Group VIII metal composition.
