Abstract: The subject invention provides a method of forming high resilience slabstock polyurethane foam having random cell structures and displaying latex-like feel and characteristics with superior physical performance to latex foam, including complying with California Technical Bulletin 117 and British Standard 5852:Crib 5 flame tests. The method includes the first step of providing an isocyanate-reactive component and an isocyanate component substantially free of toluene diisocyanate comprising diphenylmethane-2,4′-diisocyanate present in an amount of from 15 parts by weight to 55 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the isocyanate component and diphenylmethane-4,4′-diisocyanate present in an amount from 45 parts by weight to 85 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the isocyanate component to react with the isocyanate-reactive component.

Abstract: A method for a run-to-run (R2R) control system includes processing materials using a process input and producing a process output, storing the process input in a database, the storing including using a timestamp, and storing at least one measurement of the process output in the database aligned with each process input using the timestamp. The method further includes iterating over the data in the database to estimate one or more coefficients for a model, and, if one or more measurements is missing, replacing the missing measurements based on a prediction from said model. The model is updated with said coefficient estimates. The method additionally includes iterating over the data from the database to estimate a process state, and, if one or more of the measurements is missing from the database, replacing the missing measurements based on prediction from the model. The model is updated with said process state estimate.
