Abstract: A system, a method and a computer program product for indexing data samples are disclosed. A locality-sensitive string hash index is determined for each data sample in a plurality of data samples. The determined locality-sensitive string hash indexes for at least two data samples in the plurality of data samples are compared. The comparison includes estimating, based on the determined locality-sensitive string hash indexes, a distance between the two data samples. Based on the comparison, at least one data sample in the plurality of data samples being similar to at least another data sample in the plurality of data samples is identified.

Abstract: The block copolymers according to the invention which are based on conjugated diolefins and polar monomers and are prepared in the presence of catalysts based on the rare earth metals have a high cis-1,4 content in the polydiene block and, because of their polar polymer part and their non-polar diene polymer part, can be used as agents which impart compatibility in the preparation of vulcanizates with a filler content for the production of tires and tire components, as a filler in the preparation of such vulcanizates, and as a blend component in the preparation of thermoplastic elastomers or in the modification of thermoplastics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to rubber mixtures with improved processing behavior and high filler activity, containing 1,4-butenediol and/or 1,4-butenediol polyether, as well as the use of the rubber mixtures for the production of vulcanizates, in particular for the production of highly reinforced, abrasion-resistant molded articles, and preferably for the production of tires that have a low rolling resistance and a high abrasion resistance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to adhesive rubber mixtures consisting of at least one rubber and from 5 to 300 parts by weight of filler, the rubber having been prepared by polymerizing diolefins and, optionally, further vinylaromatic monomers in solution and introducing hydroxyl and/or carboxyl groups, that rubber having a total content of from 0.05 to 5 wt. % of bonded hydroxyl and/or carboxyl groups or their salts, a content of vinylaromatic monomers polymerized therein of from 0 to 50 wt. % and a content of diolefins of from 45 to 99.95 wt. %, the content of 1,2-bonded diolefins (vinyl content) being from 0 to 60 wt. % and the content of trans-1,4-bonded diolefin being from 0 to 40 wt. %, and from 2 to 20 parts by weight of sulfur or sulfur donors and, optionally, further rubbers, rubber auxiliaries and crosslinking agents.
