| 20100317904 | OLIGOMERIZATION OF ALPHA OLEFINS USING METALLOCENE-SSA CATALYST SYSTEMS AND USE OF THE RESULTANT POLYALPHAOLEFINS TO PREPARE LUBRICANT BLENDS - This disclosure provides for alpha olefin oligomers and polyalphaolefins (or PAOs) and methods of making the alpha olefin oligomers and PAOs. This disclosure encompasses metallocene-based alpha olefin oligomerization catalyst systems, including those that include at least one metallocene and an activator comprising a solid oxide chemically-treated with an electron withdrawing anion. The alpha olefin oligomers and PAOs prepared with these catalyst systems can have a high viscosity index combined with a low pour point, making them particularly useful in lubricant compositions and as viscosity modifiers. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20090270567 | Olefin Oligomerization - Provided is a method of oligomerizing alpha olefins. In an embodiment, an oligomerization catalyst system is contacted in at least one continuous reactor with a feed comprising olefins; an effluent comprising product olefins having at least four carbon atoms is withdrawn from the reactor; the oligomerization catalyst system comprises iron or cobalt, or combinations thereof; and the single pass conversion of ethylene is at least about 40 weight percent among product olefins having at least four carbon atoms. In another embodiment, the single pass conversion of ethylene comprises at least about 65 weight percent among product olefins having at least four carbon atoms. In another embodiment, product olefins of the effluent having twelve carbon atoms comprise at least about 95 weight percent 1-dodecene. In another embodiment, product olefins comprise at least about 80 weight percent linear 1-alkenes. In another embodiment, product olefins comprise at least about 20 weight percent alpha olefins having from about 8 to about 20 carbon atoms. In another embodiment, the oligomerization catalyst system provided comprises a selective 1-hexene (S1H) catalyst. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090292090 | Methods of Preparation of an Olefin Oligomerization Catalyst - A method of making an olefin oligomerization catalyst, comprising contacting a chromium-containing compound, a heteroatomic ligand, and a metal alkyl, wherein the chromium-containing compound comprises less than about 5 weight percent chromium oligomers. A method of making an olefin oligomerization catalyst comprising a chromium-containing compound, a nitrogen-containing compound, and a metal alkyl, the method comprising adding a composition comprising the chromium-containing compound to a composition comprising the metal alkyl. A method of making an olefin oligomerization catalyst comprising a chromium-containing compound, a nitrogen-containing compound, and a metal alkyl, the method comprising abating all or a portion of water, acidic protons, or both from a composition comprising the chromium-containing compound, a composition comprising the nitrogen-containing compound, or combinations thereof prior to or during the preparation of the catalyst. Methods of oligomerizing olefins by contacting such catalysts with an alpha olefin. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20110021343 | Methods of Preparation of an Olefin Oligomerization Catalyst - A method of making a catalyst for use in oligomerizing an olefin comprising a chromium-containing compound, a pyrrole-containing compound, a metal alkyl, a halide-containing compound, and optionally a solvent, the method comprising contacting a composition comprising the chromium-containing compound and a composition comprising the metal alkyl, wherein the composition comprising the chromium-containing compound is added to the composition comprising the metal alkyl. | 01-27-2011 |

| 20100113257 | Compositions and Catalyst Systems of Metal Precursors and Olefinic Diluents - A system and method for preparing and using a metal precursor diluent composition are described. The composition includes a metal precursor, and about 18% to about 80% by weight of an olefinic diluent having between 6 and 18 carbon atoms. Such compositions may be used in oligomerization catalyst systems. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100113851 | System and Method of Deactivating and Quenching an Oligomerization Catalyst - A method of deactivate a catalyst system is described. The method may include contacting a reactor effluent comprising a catalyst system, an oligomerized olefin, and diluent with a kill agent to at least partially deactivate the catalyst system, separating the reactor effluent into one or more first streams comprising oligomerized olefin and diluent, the one or more first streams being substantially devoid of the at least partially deactivated catalyst, and a second stream comprising the deactivated catalyst; and contacting the second stream with a quench agent. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20080259435 | Electro-optic crystal, diffraction-based, beam-steering element - A beam-steering element made of a more optically-active material, potassium tantalate niobate, with an improved diffraction efficiency, having a plurality of electrode layers and one electro-optic crystal layer interposed between every two adjacent electrode layers. Each electro-optic crystal layer and the electrode layer adjacent thereto have an aspect ratio of about 1:1. The electrode layers and the electro-optic crystal layers are interposed between two substrates. Preferably, the substrates are transparent to an incoming beam to be modulated by the electro-optic crystal layer. | 10-23-2008 |
