Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a gradient single-crystal positive electrode material, which has a chemical formula of LiNixCoyA1-x-yO2@mLiaZbOc, wherein 0<x<1, 0<y<1, 0<x+y<1, 0<m<0.05, 0.3<a?10, 1?b<4, and 1?c<15, A is at least one of Mn, Zr, Sr, Ba, W, Ti, Al, Mg, Y, and Nb, and Z is at least one of B, Al, Co, W, Ti, Zr, and Si. The atomic ratio of the content of Co on the surface of the single-crystal positive electrode material particle to the content of Ni+Co+A on the surface is greater than 0.4 and less than 0.8, and the atomic ratio of Co at a depth 10% of the radius from the surface of the single crystal positive electrode material particle is not less than 0.3; and the single-crystal positive electrode material particle has a roundness of greater than 0.4, and is free from sharp corners.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pressure sensitive hot melt adhesive, particularly to a pressure sensitive hot melt positioning adhesive for use on feminine sanitary pads or adult incontinent products having improved peel values on fabrics made from Lyocell fibers, particularly eucalyptus-based Lyocell fibers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising at least one styrenic block copolymer, at least one tackifying resin, at least one mineral oil and from 4 to 15% by weight of at least one wax selected from the group consisting of paraffin waxes, Fischer-Tropsch waxes, ethylene-vinyl acetate waxes and any mixture thereof, based on the total weight of the hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition. The invention also relates to an article comprising a surface coated with such a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition, to a use of such a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition and to a process for preparing such a hot-melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition.

Abstract: A merchant profile builder (MPB) is provided. The complete merchant profiling process is split into three pieces: Data Preprocessing, Weekly Summary Calculation, and Merchant Profile Calculation. In the Data Preprocessing stage, authorization data and daily fraud data are processed on a weekly basis to yield: an authorization extract file and fraud authorization data, each of which are sorted by a merchant key. In the Weekly Summary Calculation stage, the files output by the Data Preprocessing stage are used as input to compile basic statistics for each merchant based only on data for one week. There are separate weekly summaries for authorizations and fraud authorizations. In the Merchant Profile Calculation stage, the weekly summaries from the 16 most recent weeks are combined together and averages are calculated and output a set of merchant profiles and a set of default profiles.
