Abstract: A polymer processing aid (PPA) reduces melt defects in extruded polyolefins in the absence of fluoropolymers. The polymer processing aid comprises a polyalkylene glycol such as a polyethylene glycol together with a high pressure low density polyethylene (LDPE) and reduces melt defects well in a thermoplastic polyolefin such as a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE).

Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.

Abstract: Systems and methods for joint document signing are described. According to one aspect, a method for joint document signing includes establishing a live communication session including a plurality of users. In some cases, the plurality of users correspond to a set of signers of a document. The method further includes initiating a signing process during the live communication session, receiving a signature for the document from each of the plurality of users during the live communication session based on the signing process, and generating a signed document including the signature from each of the plurality of users.

Abstract: A method for purifying a reclaimed polymer to a purer polymer is disclosed. In embodiments of the present invention, the method involves obtaining a reclaimed polymer, leaching various contaminants with a leaching solvent producing a leached polymer, extracting the leached polymer with a first fluid solvent to produce an extracted polymer, and then dissolving the extracted polymer in a solvent to produce a first solution comprising the dissolved polymer. The first solution is settled and then filtered. A purer polymer is separated from the resulting solution.

Abstract: A method and system of managing the acquisition of food in a commercial environment. An example method includes receiving, from a first scale, a container weight of a container when food is removed from the container. The method also includes determining a removed weight of the food from the container based on the container weight relative to an initial container weight, receiving, from a second scale, a plate weight of a plate when the food is added to the plate. The method also includes determining an added weight of the food to the plate based on the plate weight relative to an initial plate weight, determining whether the removed weight and the added weight match, and responsive to determining that the removed weight and the added weight do not match, activating an alarm.

Abstract: A flexible package having an inner sheet having a first surface and a second surface. The flexible package has an article reservoir for accepting an article to be shipped and one or more expansion chambers. The expansion chambers can be inflated or otherwise expanded to provide structure to the flexible package and to protect the article in the article reservoir.

Abstract: An efficient email display is provided. Elements in the email that are determined to be useful or relevant to a particular recipient are displayed and elements that are determined not to be useful or relevant to the recipient are removed from view. A received email is parsed for identifying elements that can be collapsed or expanded when displayed to the recipient. A predetermined value is applied to each element based on the content type. The weight of one or more of the elements is adjusted by applying a weight based on one or more weight factors. A collapsed or expanded display state is assigned to each content element based on the adjusted value. Further, the email message is rendered in the email client application interface to the recipient, where elements having the expanded display state are displayed and elements having the collapsed display state are hidden.

Abstract: A vertebral column implant assembly for insertion between two vertebrae, the assembly comprising: a superior implant body for engagement with a superior vertebra; an inferior implant body for engagement with an inferior vertebra; a central implant body adapted to be positioned in between the superior implant body and the inferior implant body, the central implant body further comprising: a first fastening arrangement positioned on an upper face of the central implant body to engage and fasten the superior implant body; and a second fastening arrangement positioned on a lower face of the central implant body to engage and fasten the inferior implant body; wherein each of the central implant body, the superior implant body and the inferior implant body comprises internal walls defining respective passages, such that the first and second fastening arrangements are positioned along inner marginal portions of the superior and inferior implant bodies respectively and structured to engage the central body with the s

Abstract: An example method includes receiving, from a first scale, a container weight of a first container. The method also includes receiving, from a second scale, a container weight of a second container. The method also includes receiving, from the first scale, a second container weight of the first container after a portion of liquid is removed from the first container, and receiving, from the second scale, a second container weight of the second container after the portion of the liquid is added to the second container. The method also includes determining a removed weight of the portion of the liquid from the first container, determining an added weight of the portion of the liquid in the second container, and determining whether the removed weight and added weight match a target weight.
