A process including first mixing glycolic acid and/or lactic acid (with chain-terminators), and a diol or di-acid initiator, and at least one multifunctional initiator to form a liquid monomer mixture in an agitated polycondensation reactor. Next, polycondensing to form a liquid reaction mixture comprising a pre-polymer having a weight average molecular weight of >10,000 by GPC, and greater than 80% by mole hydroxyl or carboxyl end-group termination, then crystallizing to form a first solid reaction mixture.

  • Patent number: 12083399
    Abstract: A portable golf club cleaning system is provided. The club cleaning system may define two separate cleaning stations, each dimensioned and adapted for different types of clubs. Each cleaning station may be defined, along an upper region, by a stacked arrangement of a top cover panel, a splash guard, and a bottom cover panel that are attached along an opening of a container. Adjacent each cleaning station, inside of the container is a brush assembly providing bristles protruding into the volume defined by each respective cleaning station. After the container is filled with liquid, the clubs can be cleaned by urging them into the respective cleaning station by way of cutouts and associated flaps of the stacked arrangement. A screw-on lid can seal the opening to prevent spillage when transporting the present invention.

  • Patent number: 12039975
    Abstract: A natural language system may be configured to act as a participant in a conversation between two users. The system may determine when a user expression such as speech, a gesture, or the like is directed from one user to the other. The system may processing input data related the expression (such as audio data, input data, language processing result data, conversation context data, etc.) to determine if the system should interject a response to the user-to-user expression. If so, the system may process the input data to determine a response and output it. The system may track that response as part of the data related to the ongoing conversation.

  • Patent number: 11906633
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting spoofing of a navigation system (NS) using a plurality of antennas. Carrier phase and CN0 measurements are obtains of a plurality of signals. The measurements are then double differenced and compared to predefined thresholds to determine whether a signal is authentic or not. Once sufficient authentic signals are identified, position and time is determined using the authenticated signals. Residuals are estimated for all signals. An average value of the residuals or the authenticated signals is calculated and is then removed from the residuals of the unauthenticated signals. Should the remainder exceed a predefined threshold, the signal is deemed to be spoofed. Otherwise, the signal is deemed to be authentic.

  • Patent number: 11479881
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to carbon fibers having high tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, as well as a process for the manufacture of such carbon fiber. The process comprises spinning a polymer/solvent solution into a solvent/water bath in the range of 78%-85% solvent, thereby producing a dense fiber structure, and subsequently carbonizing the polymer precursor fiber at a lower than typical carbonization temperature to form carbon fibers.
