Abstract: The present invention is directed to a distributed computerized control and information system for a manufacturing system which generates a product from distinct components, where the manufacturing system includes a plurality of processing machines which generate signals indicative of parameters of the processing machines' operation. The system includes a plurality of sensors in communication with an associated processing machine for non-intrusively obtaining parameter signals in real-time from the processing machine so as to not interfere with the parameter signal generation and transmission. Also included is a plurality of command apparatus in communication with an associated sensor for providing real-time analysis of the received parameter signal of the associated processing machine, and a summary station in communication with the plurality of command apparatus for providing real-time summary and detailed analysis of received parameter signals from associated processing machines.

Abstract: Polyesterimide polymers are provided as well as processes for preparing the same. Polyesterimide compositions are provided which can be applied as a magnet wire coating with the resulting magnet wire exhibiting excellent flexibility, heat shock, dielectric, and thermal properties. Such polyesterimide compositions can function as hot melt coating compositions for application as a magnet wire coating in a solventless process.
