A thermally expandable rubber composition, including at least one solid rubber, at least one processing oil, at least one vulcanization system, at least one filler G, 0.25 and 0.55 wt-% of 4,4-oxybis(benzenesulfonyl hydrazide), 0.25 and 0.55 wt-% of p-toluenesulfonylhydrazide and 0.1 and 0.5 wt-% of azodicarbonic acid diamide.

A peer to peer dynamic network acceleration method and apparatus provide enhanced communications directly between two or more enhanced devices, such as enhanced clients. The enhanced clients may comprise a front-end, a back-end, or both. In general, the front-end and back-end of the enhanced clients work in concert to translate data into an enhanced protocol for communication between the enhanced clients. The enhanced protocol may provide acceleration, security, error correction, and other benefits. Data from various applications may be seamlessly translated between a first protocol and the enhanced protocol, such that the applications need not be modified to use the enhanced protocol. The enhanced clients may automatically detect one another to establish an enhanced communications channel automatically.

The invention relates to a thermoplastic composition containing the components A and B and optionally the additional components C and D, the sum of which equals 100 wt. %. The molding compound consists of: a) 60 to 75 wt. % of one or more styrene copolymers A, b) 25 to 40 wt. % of one or more graft copolymers B, c) 0 to 15 wt. % of a rubber C which is different from component B, and d) 0 to 5 wt. % of one or more additives D. The composition contains 0.2 to 3.0 wt. %, based on the total weight of the components A to D, of oligomers, can be readily processed, and leads to scratch-resistant molded parts.

A pneumatic tire assembly is provided and includes an annular tire, an annular inflatable inner tube, and an annular solid insulation tube. The annular inflatable inner tube is positioned within the annular tire. The annular solid insulation tube is positioned between the annular tire and the annular inflatable inner tube and includes an outer surface in contact with an inner surface of the annular tire and an inner surface in contact with an outer surface of the annular inflatable inner tube.

A polyphenylene ether resin composition contains a modified polyphenylene ether copolymer and a high-molecular-weight compound. The modified polyphenylene ether copolymer is obtained by modifying a polyphenylene ether copolymer at a phenolic hydroxy group of a molecular chain end with a substituent having a carbon-carbon unsaturated double bond. The high-molecular-weight compound has a glass transition temperature (Tg) measured by differential scanning calorimetry of 20 C. or lower and has a number-average molecular weight Mn ranging from 1000 to 10000, inclusive. In a cured state of the polyphenylene ether resin composition, the modified polyphenylene ether copolymer is phase separated from the high-molecular-weight compound.
