Abstract: A method for preparing a poly(phenylene ether) includes feeding an oxygen-containing gas phase to a single continuous flow reactor containing a reaction mixture, and oxidatively polymerizing the reaction mixture to form a poly(phenylene ether) in the single reactor. The reaction mixture includes a phenol, a transition metal catalyst, and an organic solvent. A poly(phenylene ether) made by the method and articles including the poly(phenylene ether) are also disclosed. Methods for quantifying phenol concentration and poly(phenylene ether) molecular weight in the reaction mixture are also discussed.

Abstract: A system for configuring an intrusion detection system. The system includes an input device, a display device, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive input, via the input device. The input the electronic processor receives includes a previous configuration file, a databus configuration file, and user input. The electronic processor is also configured to run, with an intrusion detection system configuration tool, a simulation of communication on a vehicle communication system based on the input received and display, on the display device, results of running the simulation with the intrusion detection system configuration tool. The electronic processor is further configured to output a new configuration file and a file configured to be uploaded to a vehicle.
