Abstract: A method for translating a source text of a first language to a second language. The method includes receiving a translation request including the source text in the first language; selecting, from the source text, at least a first segment, associating at least one first metadata parameter with the first segment; providing the first segment to a first translation memory for determining a first set of translation proposals; determining a first quality score for each translation proposal; and comparing the first quality score of each translation proposal with a first predetermined acceptance threshold, and wherein based on the comparison, when a first quality score of at least one translation proposal is greater than the first predetermined acceptance threshold, the method comprises selecting a given translation proposal and providing the given translation proposal as an accepted translation of the first segment and as at least a part of an accepted translation of the source text.

Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer. It is produced by impregnating a heat resistant polycondenzation copolymer containing soft segments with acrylate monomers and radical initiators and polymerizing the monomers inside the pellets. By incorporating a cross-linked polyacrylate phase into a block-elastomer based on an engineering polymer, such as polyester, polyamide or polyurethane, softer compounds having excellent heat and oil resistance are obtained.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing a polymer blend wherein a first phase containing a polyacrylate polymer prepared by radical polymerization and a source of radicals, and a second phase containing a polyolefin polymer are compounded by melt processing.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for separating and/or purifying a substance from a molten mixture by crystallization, in which the molten mixture is conducted into an annular space defined by two substantially curvilinearly-shaped surfaces, one of the surfaces being cooled, and at least one of the surfaces rotating. The molten mixture is thereby cooled as the same flows through the annular space with material crystallizing to form a deposit upon the cooled surface. The crystallized deposit is then caused to be contacted by a source of heat, whereby the same is melted. At least part of the melted deposit is then removed from the annular space, to obtain the substance in purified form, while any remaining part of the melted deposit is conducted through the annular space in a direction away from the source of heat. Non-crystallized molten material which contains impurities is also removed from within the annular space.
