Abstract: A high flow polyester composition is disclosed, which comprises at least one polyester and at least one flow enhancing ingredient of structure, I, where, R1=NH2 or CH2OH; R2=CH3, CH3CH2 or CH2OH or any of C1-C20 alkyl group which may have one or more hydroxy group substituent, C3-C20 cycloalkyl group, C6-C20 aryl group, C1-C20 alkoxy group which may have one or more hydroxy group substituent or C6-C20 aryloxy group. A good balance of flowability and mechanical properties is obtained by controlling the amount of the said flow-enhancing ingredient. The composition further comprises reinforcing fillers, impact modifiers, a property-enhancing thermoplastic such as polycarbonate and flame retardant chemicals. The compositions are suitable for making automotive, electric and electronic parts.

Abstract: A process for making modified polybutylene terephthalate random copolymers from a polyethylene terephthalate component includes reacting an oligomeric diol component selected from the group consisting of bis(hydroxybutyl) terephthalate, bis(hydroxybutyl)isophthalate, hydroxybutyl-hydroxyethyl terephthalate, and combinations thereof to a reactor; (i) a polyethylene terephthalate component selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene terephthalate copolymers with (ii) a diol component selected from the group consisting of 1,4-butanediol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and combinations thereof, in the reactor under conditions sufficient to depolymerize the polyethylene terephthalate component into a first molten mixture; combining the first molten mixture is combined with 1,4-butanediol under conditions to form a second molten mixture; and placing the second molten mixture under conditions sufficient to produce the modified polybutylene terephthalate random copolymers.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device for use in forming a communication interface for an enterprise server including a system controller, at least one CPU, a system bus communicatively interconnecting the controller and the CPU, a system memory, a first optical interface for facilitating data transport between the device and SONET based networks, and a second optical interface for facilitating data transport between the device and ethernet/Fibre Channel based networks.

Abstract: A residue buffer, for temporary storage of portions of transmissions from a CPU to a graphics processor. Graphics commands are transmitted, in transmission units of uniform size, from a processor unit to an address generator, which processes the commands. The portion of the transmission unit not immediately usable by the graphics processor is stored in the residue buffer.
