Abstract: The synthesis of semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester urethanes is disclosed. The synthesis describes parameters such as controlled concentration, distribution, and types of crystalline hard segment blocks to correlate the effect of hard segment crystallinity to that of the soft segment blocks.

Abstract: The synthesis of certain polyester diols (PEDs) is disclosed. This application also discloses the purification and polymerization kinetics of lipid based PEDs. Molecular weight and distribution controls were achieved by initial and induced stoichiometric imbalance and optimization of the purification protocol. Thermal degradation and thermal transition behavior of the PEDs were also investigated by TGA and DSC.

Abstract: A method for controlling the data flow of the time-shift TV is disreleased and includes: establishing and holding a control channel between a playing terminal and a media server; transmitting a time-shift playing command to the media server by the playing terminal through the control channel; and upon receiving the time-shift playing command, performing a operation corresponding to the time-shift playing command by the media server. A playing terminal, a media server and a time-shift TV system are also disreleased. Using the control channel, the time-shift playing command can be transmitted to the media server and the time-shift player can transmit the time-shift data flow and the live data flow to the playing terminal, improving the speed of implementing the time-shift playing, providing better experiences for subscribers and being good for the development and application of the time-shift TV technique.
