Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for condition-based health care cost estimation are described. In an embodiment, a method may include obtaining health care cost information associated with a Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) defined by the tenth (10th) revision of the International Classification of Disease and related health problems (ICD-10) from a database. Such a method may further include receiving patient profile information from a remote user via a user portal interface. In an embodiment, the method may also include converting the patient profile information into a cost estimate based on the health care cost information using a processing device. The method may also include communicating the cost estimate to the remote user interface device.

Abstract: A process for producing a thermoplastic vulcanizate, the process comprising: (i) charging a reactor with an oil-extended olefinic copolymer rubber, where the rubber is synthesized by a single-site catalyst, characterized by a multi-modal molecular weight distribution, and includes greater than 10 parts by weight extender oil per 100 parts by weight rubber; (ii) charging the reactor, contemporaneously or sequentially with respect to the rubber, with a thermoplastic resin, an oil, and a cure system to provide a pre-vulcanized mixture; and (iii) mixing the rubber, thermoplastic resin, oil, and cure system at a temperature above the melt temperature of the thermoplastic resin to thereby cause dynamic vulcanization of the rubber and produce the thermoplastic vulcanizate.

Abstract: The invention relates to purification of plasticizer, particularly for use in a polymer production process and plant. More particularly, the invention relates to purification of plasticizer, such as by gas stripping, for use in a process for in-line blending of polymer and plasticizer.

Abstract: In order to carry out the encapsulation of electronic components, the invention proposes to cover the electronic components (7) with a heat-polymerisable material corresponding to a composition comprising a diimide constituent and a diamine constituent, in which the diimide constituent has been predissolved in the diamine constituent, and to heat the assembly obtained under conditions suitable for carrying out the curing of the material by an addition polymerization reaction between said diimide constituent and the diamine constituent. The invention finds an application in particular in the field of electronic power modules.

Abstract: To obtain an elastomeric composite crumb having a majority of the particle size distribution greater than 0.33 cm, the crumb is obtained by a process whereby the elastomeric composite comprises less than about 0.5 phr of a salt of a C8 to C20 carboxylic acid, or 10 to 20 phr of a tackifying resin or a combination of both an absence of carboxylic acid and the presence of the tackifying resin. The use of one or both methods permits control of crumb particle size distribution in emulsion or solution processes for producing elastomeric nanocomposites. The elastomeric composite is also disclosed.
