  • Publication number: 20220188718
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for an advanced behavior-based safety system. In some embodiments, the advanced behavior-based safety system receives data associated with one or more observed safety violations, each with a set of assessment parameters, at a location. Based upon the assessment parameters, an observed safety violation can be evaluated as to whether it exceeds a notification threshold according to a risk assessment protocol. Depending on whether the notification threshold is exceeded, a notice of the observed safety violation may be transmitted or scheduled for transmission to a management entity having a unique notification address. In some embodiments, an aggregation of the assessment parameters of all observed safety violations can also be determined, and the aggregation further evaluated to determine whether a notice of the observed safety violations should be transmitted to a management entity.

  • Patent number: 10604457
    Abstract: A process comprising a) contacting (i) ethylene, (ii) a catalyst system comprising 1) a heteroatomic ligand iron salt complex, or a heteroatomic ligand and an iron salt, (iii) hydrogen, and (iv) optionally an organic reaction medium; and b) forming an oligomer product wherein 1) the oligomer product has a Schulz-Flory K value from 0.4 to 0.8 and 2) the oligomer product comprises (a) less than 1 wt. % of polymer, (b) less than 1 wt. % compounds having greater than 70 carbon atoms, (c) less than 1 wt. % compounds having a weight average molecular weight of greater than 1000 g/mol, or (d) any combination thereof wherein the weight percentage is based on the total weight of the oligomer product.

  • Patent number: 3939725
    Abstract: A remote switch actuating device to permit the operator to actuate an electrical switch that is located remotely from the operator's position, comprising a rocker arm type electrical switch that is mounted within easy reach of the operator in the usual electrical box, which, however, is free of electrical connections, but is mechanically connected by a drive rod to an actuator assembly which mounts the remote power switch to be actuated in an appropriate electrical box that is remotely located for safety and other purposes. The actuator assembly includes a swing arm formed to receive the rocker arm of the switch to be actuated. The drive rod is masked and guided within electrical conduiting that connects the two boxes.
