Abstract: A method for profiling a potential offender associated with a criminal incident includes the steps of: creating a criminal case for a criminal incident, wherein the incident is categorized into at least one crime type based upon at least one parameter associated with the incident; receiving, into the criminal case based on the at least one crime type, evidence input data corresponding at least to the at least one parameter and collected physical evidence; and performing, using a processing device, a behavioral analysis based on the at least one crime type and the evidence input data to generate a behavioral profile of a potential offender associated with the incident, which identifies a plurality of behavioral traits of the potential offender.

Abstract: A thermal interface includes nanofibrils. The nanofibrils may be attached to a flat base or membrane, or may be attached to the tip portions of larger diameter fibers. The nanofibrils have a diameter of less than about 1 micron, and may advantageously be formed from single walled and/or multi-walled nanotubes.

Abstract: A method for rules-based data evaluation and process trigger executed in a records management system that includes a server computer and at least one client computer, the method including the steps of: receiving (210) a source document having a predetermined format; creating (220) at least one definition for the source document, each definition comprising at least one criterion for evaluating an instance of data corresponding to the source document; receiving (230) a first instance of data corresponding to the source document; evaluating (240) the first instance of data using the at least one definition and determining whether to generate at least one conclusion based on the evaluation, each conclusion indicating that the at least one criteria is met; and determining (250) whether to perform at least one action based on at least one generated conclusion.

Abstract: A fiber velvet comprising nano-size fibers or nanofibrils attached to micro-size fibers is disclosed. Methods of manufacturing the velvet as well as various uses of the velvet are also described. For example, the fiber velvet can be used as a thermal interface or as an adhesive material. The nanofibrils may be attached to a flat base or membrane, or may be attached to the tip portions of the micro-size or larger diameter fibers. Various attributes of the micro-size fibers and of the nano-size fibers, for example, geometry (e.g. size, length, packing density) material type (e.g. carbon, metal, polymer, or ceramic) and properties (e.g. conductivity, modulus, surface energy, dielectric constant, surface roughness) can be selected depending on the desired attributes of the fiber velvet. The nanofibrils have a diameter of less than about 1 micron, and may advantageously be formed from single walled and/or multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
