A staged method of forming vinyl (e. g. acrylate) copolymer by solution polymerization which involves a) charging up to 90% of at least two vinyl monomers of the vinyl copolymer to a first stage reaction zone, b) polymerizing the at least two vinyl monomers to about 10 to 90% conversion in the presence of an initiator at an initiator to monomers mole ratio within a specified range, the monomer content of one of the at least two vinyl monomers of the copolymer formed in the first stage being higher than the content of another of the at least two vinyl monomers in the first stage polymer, the weight average molecular weight of the first stage copolymer being about 2000 to 500,000 Daltons; and c) continuing polymerization in the presence of an initiator in a second stage while continuously adding the balance of the monomers of said vinyl copolymer to the polymerization reaction mixture of the first stage at a monomers ratio lower in the one monomer than in the first stage monomers ratio, the initiator to monomers mole ratio in the second stage being different than in the first stage; the vinyl copolymer formed gradually continuously changing in molecular weight from the first stage and increasing in concentration of the one monomer during the second stage, the weight average molecular weight of the total copolymer of both stages being about 2,000 to 250,000 Daltons.

A composition of matter resistant to foaming comprising a hydrocarbon oil and an acrylate copolymer dispersed in the said hydrocarbon oil, which acrylated copolymer contains at last one polymerised fluorinated (meth)acrylate monomer wherein not more than three neighbouring carbon atoms in the said fluorinated (meth)acrylate monomer carry one or more fluorine substituents.

Polymers are described that are prepared from di and mono-functional silicone and silane monomers of Formula 1 in which Y represents a direct bond or a oxy group; Rrepresents an optionally substituted organo group with at least one double bond which optionally may be an activated unsaturated moiety such as a (meth)acrylate group: for example 1-n-propoxy(acrylate) or ethenyl; and Rand Reach separately, and independently within each optional repeat unit, represent an optionally substituted hydrocarbo, hydrocarbo(oxy), hydrosilico and/or hydrosilico(oxy) groups; or example, methyl; or trimethylsiloxy; Rindependently represents an optionally substituted organo group with at least one double bond (such as Rabove) an optionally substituted hydrocarbo, and/or hydrosilico group for example trimethylsilyl or ethenyl; and n is from about 0 to about 2000; preferably from about 1 to about 100, for example n is 1. Such polymer precursors can be used to prepare flow modifying agents, defoamers and/or pressure sensitive adhesives.

A video demographics analysis system selects a training set of videos to use to correlate viewer demographics and video content data. The video demographics analysis system extracts demographic data from viewer profiles related to videos in the training set and creates a set of demographic distributions, and also extracts video data from videos in the training set. The video demographics analysis system correlates the viewer demographics with the video data of videos viewed by that viewer. Using the prediction model produced by the machine learning process, a new video about which there is no a priori knowledge can be associated with a predicted demographic distribution specifying probabilities of the video appealing to different types of people within a given demographic category, such as people of different ages within an age demographic category.
