Abstract: The present invention describes a catalyst support, which is used as an inorganic carrier for a Ziegler-Nata catalyst (ZN), using a modified spray cooling method. Such a catalyst support is prepared from alcoholic solutions of (a) an inorganic compound, in which the inorganic compound is a magnesium compound and (b) an inorganic compound and one or more additives. The solutions are prepared at a temperature below 100° C., carried through a nozzle placed inside a reactor, and sprayed into droplets forming a solid precipitate, which is generally spherical, when in contact with an inert hydrocarbon solvent at low temperature. The obtained catalyst support is reacted with a titanium compound, preferably titanium tetrachloride, in order to produce an active catalyst for olefin polymerization.

Abstract: A precision alignment unit and techniques are described that include a tray assembly configured to be used in a testing system, where the tray assembly includes at least one pocket formed in the tray assembly, the pocket configured to contain an integrated circuit chip, and at least one pin pass-through, and a device positioning unit including at least one alignment device configured to extend through the at least one pin pass-through. In implementations, a process for using the precision alignment system that employs the techniques of the present disclosure includes mounting a precision alignment unit to a vacuum chuck of a handler; loading at least one alignment tray into the handler; placing the at least one alignment tray on the precision alignment unit; and aligning at least one integrated circuit chip device disposed on the at least one alignment tray.
