Patent number: 9939808Abstract: A method of process control for a batch process includes pre-measuring a monitor lot to obtain pre-metrology data regarding at least a first process parameter. There are no product units included with the monitor lot. The pre-metrology data is saved together with an identifier for the first monitor unit. A batch is staged for the batch process including at least a first product lot including a plurality of product units together with the first monitor unit. The batch is batch processed through the batch process. After the batch processing, the first monitor unit is measured to obtain post-metrology data for the first process parameter. At least one of the post-metrology data and a difference between the post-metrology data and pre-metrology data is saved to a data file with an identifier for the first product lot or the pre-metrology data and post-metrology data is directly written to the first product lot.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2014Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Damien Thomas Gilmore, Nicholas Andrew Kusek, Kenneth Ryan Thomas, Michael Glenn Williams, Robert Ray Spangler, Ingu Song

Patent number: 8013069Abstract: Blends of at least two polymers incorporating propylene-derived units and processes for producing such blends are provided. The first polymer of the blend is a low crystallinity polymer including propylene-derived units. The second polymer is a high crystallinity polymer including propylene-derived units. The polymer blends exhibit the beneficial performance characteristics of low crystallinity propylene polymers while minimizing certain processing and handling problems associated with low crystallinity propylene polymers. Low crystallinity propylene polymer pellets often exhibit a tendency to agglomerate because of the softness of such particles. Agglomeration of the pellets creates problems in handling and processing the particles. The polymer blends disclosed reduce the tendency of polymer pellets to agglomerate while maintaining the desirable physical properties, such as elastomeric properties, exhibited by low crystallinity propylene polymers.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2006Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Assignee: Exxonmobil Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Bruce Allan Harrington, Michael Glenn Williams, Sudhin Datta, Srivatsan Srinivas Iyer
