Abstract: The invention relates to a preparation method of vinyl-terminated siloxane. R2R3Si(OR4)2, R12(CH2?CH)SiOSi(CH?CH2)R12, an organic acid and a catalyst are added into a reaction bottle according to the molar ratio of 1:1-1.5:1-2.5:0.005-0.01, wherein R1 is alkyl, R2 and R3 are alkyl, aryl or substituted alkyl, substituted aryl identically and differently, and R4 is alkyl, heating is performed to 50-80° C. while stirring, the stirring reaction is performed at the temperature for 5-30 min, then a dehydrating agent is added, and the reaction is continuously performed for 2-5 h at the temperature of 50-80° C.; and the temperature is reduced to room temperature after the end of reaction, and then dilution, washing with water to neutral, collection of an organic phase, drying, filtering, concentration, reduced pressure distillation and collection of a fraction at corresponding pressure and temperature are sequentially performed so as to obtain a vinyl-terminated siloxane compound product.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer readable storage medium are provided for performing a centralized search to locate information having a common context in an enterprise. Such search can be provided by defining a logical object that groups customer profile and related objects such as contacts, leads, opportunities, notes, interactions, and the like for a search in a customer context. A customer identifier can serve as a key to link the related objects. A keyword search of a logical group is also provided that allows for a single unified search across customers and related objects, or to search within a single customer and related objects. One aspect of the logical group keyword search provides for refining the search to show a subset of objects and to use filtering of object attributes. Search results indicate the customer context by highlighting the customer name in the result.

Abstract: A system for measuring performance of streaming media sent from a server over a network. The system includes a data acquisition agent connected to the network and operable to send a request for streaming media to the server. The agent is configured to receive streaming media, collect performance measurements, and send the performance measurements to a storage device.
