  • Patent number: 9115224
    Abstract: A supported catalyst system comprising a phosphinimine ligand containing catalyst on an alumina support treated with a metal salt has improved reactor continuity in a dispersed phase reaction in terms of initial activation and subsequent deactivation. The resulting catalyst has a lower consumption of ethylene during initiation and a lower rate of deactivation. Preferably the catalyst is used with an antistatic agent.

  • Patent number: 9009095
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a probability of changing from one state to another in a stochastic entity, comprising: determining the compact component matrix utilizing characteristic information of the stochastic entity; determining the compact composite component matrix by taking a Kroneker product of the compact component matrix and an identity matrix; determining and placing all current states for the stochastic entity into a state space matrix; determining a Q matrix and/or a transition rate matrix using the compact composite component matrix and basic conditions or variables of the problem domain and/or a compact transition rate matrix; and performing Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation using information from the state space matrix and information from the transition rate matrix to determine the probability of changing from one state to another state in the stochastic entity.
