Title: Purification of arylene polyphosphate esters
Inventor: HEIDEBRECHT GARY D
IPC: C07F9/12
Filed: 2001-11-13
Abstract: Emulsion formation is minimized or prevented and hydrolytic product degradation is suppressed during purification of impure bisphenol-A bis(diphenylphosphate). This is accomplished by forming a hydrocarbon soluti on of bisphenol-A bis(diphenylphosphate) plus impurities in a solvent comprisin g at least one aromatic hydrocarbon and at least one paraffinic hydrocarbon. Optionally, but preferably, this solution is washed with water or an aqueous  buffer solution. Next, the hydrocarbon solution is washed one or more times with an aqueous alkaline washing solution that has a specific gravity that differs from the specific gravity of the hydrocarbon solution by at least about 0.05 gram per cubic centimeter. After each washing the mixture settles  into a purified organic phase and a separate aqueous phase, and these phases  are separated from each other. After completing the one or more alkaline washings and separations, the resultant purified organic phase is washed one  or more times with water to remove alkaline components from the hydrocarbon solution, and after each such washing the washed mixture is settled into a less alkaline purified organic phase and a separate aqueous phase. These phases are separated, and preferably the purified product is recovered from the organic phase.

Title: Method and system for evaluating the quality of packet-switched voice signals
Inventor: HARDY WILLIAM CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H04L12/26
Filed: 2002-02-07
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining what level of performance must be maintained by a second communication service (910) so as to be perceived as being of equal quality to a first communication service, especially where the second communication service (910) is subject to additional impairments (972) not experienced by the first communication service.
