    Abstract: A process for producing particles of a thermoplastic polymer in spherical form involves providing at least one thermoplastic polymer in a molten state and providing an aqueous solution of at least one surface-active substance. The aqueous solution is in a temperature range from 100 to 300° C. The process also involves dispersing the thermoplastic polymer in the aqueous solution to obtain an aqueous solution containing dispersed thermoplastic polymer, which is cooled down to a temperature below the solidification point of the thermoplastic polymer to obtain a suspension containing an aqueous solution and particles of the thermoplastic polymer suspended in a solid state and in spherical form. The particles can be separated from the suspension and, optionally, dried. The particles obtained from the process have a particle size distribution having a d[4,3] value of more than 10 μm and a d90.3 value of more than 20 μm.

    Abstract: A method can be used for controlling a downstream production process for manufacturing an article at a downstream industrial plant, by processing at least one thermoplastic polyurethane (“TPU”) and/or expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (“ETPU”) material using the downstream production process. The method involves providing, at a downstream computing unit, a set of downstream control settings for controlling the production of the article. The downstream control settings are determined based on a downstream object identifier; at least one desired downstream performance parameter related to the article; and downstream historical data. The set of downstream control settings is usable for manufacturing the article at the downstream industrial plant. A corresponding system for downstream production, use, and software product are provided.

    Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for the preparation of isocyanates and/or polyisocyanates by reacting the corresponding amines with phosgene in a reactor, where isocyanates are obtained from a mixture of amines in gaseous or liquid form and phosgene in gaseous form, wherein no liquid solvents are used in the feeding, mixing, reacting, cooling, separating and purifying steps of the process.

    Abstract: Example embodiments provide systems and methods for identifying samples of interests by comparing aligned time-series measurements, For example, the techniques described herein may be used to, among other applications, perform data capture, processing, and analysis of high-throughput capillary electrophoresis data for protein identification. Other applications include analysis of DNA and RNA samples, and/or polysaccharides. Time-series measurements may be collected from an analysis instrument and automatically aligned based, e.g., on peaks in the data. The aligned peaks of test samples and control samples may be programmatically compared to identify samples of interest; in some embodiments, the data peaks may be permitted to float within a predefined window so as to improve the quality of the comparison and provide more meaningful results. The system may generate an output including an identifier of a sample of interest, images of spectral peaks, and/or tables of time-series measurements.
