Publication number: 20150344632Abstract: The present invention discloses a fiber-grade polyphenylene sulfide resin synthesis method, taking sodium bisulfide and p-dichlorobenzene as raw materials, N-methyl pyrrolidone as the solvent and C5-C6 fatty acid salt formed through dehydration to C5-C6 fatty acid and sodium hydroxide as the polymerization additive for synthesis through polymerization. White polyphenylene sulfide resin is obtained through acidification and washing of reaction slurry. In view of the fact that MFR is below 125 g/10 min, weight-average molecular weight as measured by GPC is over 4.2×104, and whiteness is over 90, it can satisfy requirements for fiber polyphenylene sulfide resin. C5-C6 fatty acid salt according to the method of the present invention has a higher solubility in NMP, which can better promote polymerization. It is to be fully diverted into the filtrate after filter prior to conversion into free fatty acid again through acidification with hydrochloric acid.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2013Publication date: December 3, 2015Applicant: ZHEJIANG NGU SPECIAL MATERIALS CO., LTD.Inventors: ZHIRONG CHEN, WOYUAN LI, HAORAN LI, MING LIAN, HONG YIN, GUIYANG ZHOU, XINFENG ZHENG

Patent number: 6754633Abstract: There is provided an apparatus and method for encoding a code signal particularly into an audio signal. Previously as a result of data compression protocol codes hidden into “sync periods” have been degraded or lost as a result of, for example, low pass filtering. Sometimes, during quiet intervals codes were audible. The invention overcomes the problem of encoding a code into an audio signal by sampling the audio signal in order to determine its energy content and embedding the code into a suitable portion of the audio signal so that the code is hidden within a sufficiently energetic portion of audio signal. The advantage is that code is never audible.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2001Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: Central Research Laboratories LimitedInventor: Jia Hong Yin

Publication number: 20030058257Abstract: The invention relates to the application of identifying codes to stationary images, for example images of fine art, using a process known as watermarking, by means of which coded identification data are incorporated into proprietary visual images. A system is described whereby the identification codes remain detectable in, and retrievable from, watermarked images, even where the images have been changed or modified as a result of operations such as resizing, cropping and rotation. The system combines a reference code with an identification code and embeds the combined codes into a still image, and a scanning process, which may automatically switch between coarse and fine modes, is used to detect the reference code and to decode as an identification code, data located in conjunction with a detected reference code, utilizing respective modules for (a) modification detection, (b) image resumption and (c) decoding.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2002Publication date: March 27, 2003Inventor: Jia Hong Yin
