Abstract: The 5-OMe-6-tBu substitution of the indenyl fragment of C1 symmetric catalysts is critical for improvements in EP molecular weight capability. The catalysts described in this document are also capable of producing other ordinary polyolefins such as iPP, PE and EO copolymers. The added capability of high molecular weight EP copolymers may expand the potential of C1 symmetric systems in the area of RCPs and ICPs where such capability is necessary.

Abstract: Inherent susceptibility of adhesive bonds to even minute quantities of contamination can often cause undetectable weakened bonds. Described herein are methods for producing composites that mitigate strict faying surface tolerances. In one aspect, the methods described herein use an adhesive to alleviate the strict manufacturing tolerances of previous techniques and methodologies. The inclusion of conventional ratio adhesive as a gap filler offers the advantage of being a drop-in replacement for existing state-of-the-art adhesively bonded composite joints. In another aspect, composites are produced by co-bonding with or without an adhesive. The methods described herein can seamlessly replace current bonding methods without requiring significant modifications or changes to the manufacturing process. This compatibility and ease of implementation makes the methods described herein a promising option for enhancing composite bonding in various industries where composite materials are utilized.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to processor communications fabrics. In some embodiments, a processor includes multiple client circuitry and fabric circuitry that includes at least first and second instances of a tile. The tile may include: client inputs configured to interface with client circuits, tile inputs configured to interface with one or more other tile instances, and communication resources that include internal links and outputs. The communication resources may be assignable to the client inputs and output and may include resources to satisfy all requests, in a given cycle, from one or more non-stallable channels supported by the apparatus. The communication resources may also include additional resources allocable, in a given cycle, to one or more stallable channels supported by the apparatus. Control circuitry may, in a given cycle, assign communication resources of a given tile instance to at least a portion of the client inputs and tile inputs for a next cycle, based on priority information.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a threshold value of a streaming-media key performance indicator (KPI) based on a predetermined target portion of end-user devices that provide an acceptable performance. Performance records are obtained for a content delivery network (CDN) adapted to cache and serve media content requested by the end-user devices. Predicted values of the streaming-media KPI are generated according to the performance records of the CDN and compared to the threshold value of the streaming-media KPI to obtain a comparison. An anomaly is detected according to the comparison, to indicate that a predetermined number of the predicted values of the streaming-media KPI fail to satisfy the threshold value. Other embodiments are disclosed.
