Abstract: A method of facilitating merchant self-service assistance to financing and content support for a marketing event may include receiving a request from a merchant for approval for financing and content generation to support the marketing event and determining whether to approve the merchant based on comparing information provided in the request to approval standards. The method may further include, responsive to approval of the merchant, receiving context information regarding content requested, and providing the content requested to the merchant based on the context information to support the marketing event.

Abstract: Composite membranes include a polymer material that is selectively permeable to heavy (C3+) hydrocarbons over methane. The polymer material may be a modified poly(dimethylsilane) having a backbone including dimethylsiloxyl monomers, substituted methylsiloxyl monomers, and internal-network monomers. The substituted methylsiloxyl monomers may include phenylmethylsiloxyl monomers or C5-C10 alkylmethylsiloxyl monomers such as octylmethylsiloxyl monomers. The polymer material may include silicon-alkyl linkages such as Si—(CH2)n—Si, where n?2 that may create a structure that imparts desirable permeability and selectivity characteristics to the composite membrane. The polymer material may be cast onto a porous support material. The composite membranes may be incorporated into systems or methods for removing heavy hydrocarbons from natural gas.
