The residence time between the detector and the chamber is at least about one minute. Also, flowing the recycle sequentially through two detector effluent flow channels of an electrolytic membrane suppressor. Also, applying heat or UV energy between the detector and the chamber. Also, detecting bubbles after the chamber. Also, a Platinum group metal catalyst and ion exchange medium in the chamber. Apparatus for performing the methods.
Abstract:
A preparation method of small particle-sized polybutadiene latex used for the production of ABS is disclosed, which includes putting components comprising 34.00-45.00% by weight of the butadiene, 0-6.0% by weight of the second monomer, 52.11-63.13% by weight of the desalinized water, 0.12-0.22% by weight of the mercaptan(TDM), 0.80-2.60% by weight of the emulsifiers composed of potassium abietate and potassium oleate, into the same polymerization reactor, then heating the mixture of the components and stirring the same at a temperature range of 60-75° C. The reaction lasts for 9-12 hours and the conversion is higher than 97%. The method has the advantages such as higher conversion, shorter reaction period and lower latex viscosity. During the first stage of the reaction, more heat is released by increasing the reaction rate. When the conversion reaches 40-80%, the heat release rate of intermediate stage is depressed by decreasing the reaction temperature. When the conversion is higher than 80%, the reaction temperature reaches the highest. Thus, severe heat release is avoided. Moreover, the butadiene polymerization can be controlled steadily and the reaction period is shortened.

Abstract:
A method and system to optimize ordering of firmware modules. Optimizing the dispatch order of firmware modules reduces the boot time of a computer system. A plurality of module-to-module interfaces are collected from a plurality of firmware modules, wherein a module-to-module interface allows a first firmware module of the plurality of firmware modules to invoke a second firmware module of the plurality of firmware modules. A plurality of dependency expressions corresponding to the plurality of firmware modules are collected, wherein each dependency expression of a firmware module describes the module-to-module interfaces needed for execution of the firmware module. The plurality of firmware modules are sorted into an optimized order based on the plurality of dependency expressions and the plurality of module-to-module interfaces. In one embodiment, the plurality of firmware modules operate in accordance with an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) specification.

Abstract:
A method and system, including a computer program product, implementing a color terminology for accurate color grading of gemstones are provided. The method includes generating a reference color to match that of a graded gemstone under the standard viewing environment, processing color data in different color spaces, assigning a color grade to specify the color of the gemstone graded. The reference color can be continuously changed by adjusting the hue, lightness and saturation values. The color grade comprises a color name and one or more corresponding color coordinates and/or one or more corresponding color notations, in the form of Color Name (Color Coordinates). The color name is used for verbal description of the color, and the color coordinate or color notation is for accurate color communication in the jewelry industry.

Abstract:
One or more classification algorithms are applied to at least one natural language document in order to extract both attributes and values of a given product. Supervised classification algorithms, semi-supervised classification algorithms, unsupervised classification algorithms or combinations of such classification algorithms may be employed for this purpose. The at least one natural language document may be obtained via a public communication network. Two or more attributes (or two or more values) thus identified may be merged to form one or more attribute phrases or value phrases. Once attributes and values have been extracted in this manner, association or linking operations may be performed to establish attribute-value pairs that are descriptive of the product. In a presently preferred embodiment, an (unsupervised) algorithm is used to generate seed attributes and values which can then support a supervised or semi-supervised classification algorithm.
