Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing thermally stabilized styrenic polymers and products produced thereby wherein a pre-formed styrenic polymer is functionalized with a bifunctional Friedel-Crafts-type alkylation or acylation agent to yield a functionalized styrenic polymer. The functionalized polymer is admixed with a Friedel-Crafts-type catalyst, preferably a phosphate ester, and optionally a base, such that the functionalized polymer will experience inter- and intramolecular cross-linking reactions at elevated temperatures, thereby stabilizing the polymer from further thermal degradation.

Abstract: A Chinese speech recognition (SR) method and system for single or un-correlated Chinese character(s). The method uses various types of Character Description Language (CDL) to describe the single or un-correlated Chinese character(s) to be inputted. The SR system uses CDL grammar directed speech recognizer to accept CDLs, which are inputted by voice. On the basis of analysis of CDL parser, the character generator gives a corresponding character. Therefore, recognition of single or un-correlated Chinese character(s) out of context can be made reliably.
