Publication number: 20240084051Abstract: Disclosed are support-activators and catalyst compositions comprising the support-activators for polymerizing olefins in which the support-activator includes clay heteroadduct, prepare from a colloidal phyllosilicate such as a colloidal smectite clay, which is chemically-modified with a heterocoagulation agent. By limiting the amount of heterocoagulation reagent relative to the colloidal smectite clay as described herein, the smectite heteroadduct support-activator is a porous and amorphous solid which can be readily isolated from the resulting slurry by a conventional filtration process, and which can activate metallocenes and related catalysts toward olefin polymerization. Related compositions and processes are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A.Inventors: Michael D. Jensen, Kevin Chung, Daoyong Wang, Wei-Chun Shih, Guangxue Xu, Chih-Jian Chen, Charles R. Johnson, II, Mary Lou Cowen

Patent number: 11236786Abstract: A clutch assembly for a transmission of an agricultural work vehicle. The clutch assembly includes a housing, a clutch pack located within the housing, a piston chamber located within the housing, and a multipart piston located within and slidable relative to the piston chamber. The multipart piston is operably connected to the clutch pack for engaging and disengaging the clutch pack. The multipart piston includes a lower piston extension part. The clutch assembly further includes a balance chamber that is located within the housing. The lower boundary wall of the balance chamber and the lower boundary wall of the piston chamber are radially separated from one another by a substantial distance. The lower piston extension part is located within the balance chamber for adding to a collective surface area of the balance chamber.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Michael R. Jensen, Daniel Payne

Patent number: 8634164Abstract: A method of detaching a head suspension component from a locating and transport structure where the head suspension component is integrally connected to the locating and transport structure by a tab having a reduced tensile strength with respect to each of the head suspension component and the locating and transport structure. The method includes applying a tensile load to the tab to cause the tab to fracture, so that the head suspension component is detached from the locating and transport structure.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2003Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Hutchinson Technology IncorporatedInventors: Bryan J. Scheele, Richard A. Schnitzler, Brett L. Haugen, Ronald W. Rome, Lance J. Evans, Gregory S. Nelson, Michael R. Jensen, Patrick R. LaLonde

Publication number: 20130330254Abstract: A tube rack generally includes two or more rows of wells and at least one coupling member for coupling a pair of rows. The rows extend substantially parallel to one another. Each coupling member is configured to adjust a distance between the pair of rows as the rows of wells are separated or pushed together, thereby enabling the tube rack to expand and contract.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2013Publication date: December 12, 2013Applicant: HEATHROW SCIENTIFIC LLCInventors: Michael R.

Patent number: 7337399Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for editing a region of a document intersecting multiple content component types in a single operation. The apparatus includes an input module, a function module, an identification module, a document editing module, and an output module. The input module receives a description of a region of a document. The region intersects a plurality of content component types. The function module obtains a function to be applied to the region. The identification module identifies a set of content components intersecting the region. The document editing module processes intersecting portions of the content components using the function. The output module updates the document with processed intersecting portions of the content components. The apparatus may additionally include a format module that determines an acceptable content component format for the function and a conversion module that converts the intersecting portions of the content components to the acceptable format.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2005Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: InfoPrint Solutions CompanyInventors: Michael R.
