Abstract: A method and system of modifying a substrate using a plasma are described comprising providing a first electrode and a second electrode; arranging the substrate such that a portion of the substrate is between the electrodes; supplying a voltage to at least one of the electrodes so as to create a plasma discharge between the electrodes which contacts at least said portion of the substrate, moving either the substrate and/or said second electrode such that said substrate and said second electrode are being linearly displaced relative to each other along an axis of linear displacement during said movement; and wherein said second electrode is arranged relative to said axis of linear displacement such that said linear movement causes a first section of the portion of substrate to have a greater residence time between the electrodes during said linear displacement than a second section of said portion of the substrate.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and program product for automatically reviewing a mapping between information models. The method includes: receiving a mapping between an element in the first information model to an element in the second information model. Each element is associated with an element identifier and an element value, and the mapping signifies a relationship between the element in the first information model and the element in the second information model. The method further includes comparing the received mapping against one or more known indications of suspicious mappings to determine if the received mapping resembles one of the indications of suspicious mappings. If the received mapping is determined to be suspicious, identifying the received mapping as one that requires review.

Abstract: A method of modifying a substrate using a plasma comprises providing a first electrode and a second electrode; arranging the substrate such that only a portion of the substrate is between the electrodes; and rotating either the substrate or at least one of the electrodes about an axis so as to cause different portions of the substrate to pass between the electrodes during the rotation. A voltage is supplied to at least one of the electrodes so as to create a plasma discharge between the electrodes which contacts at least the portions of the substrate that pass between the electrodes. The electrodes and the substrate are arranged such that the rotating causes the speed of transit of the substrate portion between the electrodes to vary in a radial direction away from the axis of rotation and the rate that the plasma discharge modifies the substrate varies across the substrate.

Abstract: A label that changes appearance with time is disclosed. The label comprises a first layer that has different permeabilities to a gas in different lateral areas of the label and which comprises a substance that changes colour when in contact with the gas. The substance is arranged within the label such that the gas permeates across the thickness of the layer at different rates in different lateral areas so as to cause the substance to change colour at different rates in said different areas. Another label that changes appearance with time is disclosed that allows ink to permeate to its surface at different rates in different lateral areas.

Abstract: A composition for restoration and treatment of polymeric materials and related methods of manufacture are provided; and the composition comprises: at least one solvent and at least one UV protectant, wherein the solvent is designed to soften a surface of the polymeric material and the UV protectant is designed to bond to the polymeric material to restore color and appearance of the polymeric material.

Abstract: An information integrity rules framework manages rules across heterogeneous enforcement systems by managing canonical rules that are mapped to native rules and enforcement system-specific rules. The information integrity rules framework discovers an existing native rule utilized by an enforcement system, which is written in an enforcement system-specific format. Next, the information integrity rules framework creates a mapping entry and maps the native rule to a canonical rule, which is independent from the enforcement system. When the information integrity rules framework detects a change to one of the rules managed by the framework, the information integrity rules framework propagates the change to other corresponding rules across enforcement systems managed by the framework.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for mapping an element of a source information model to an element of a target information model, forming a cluster of elements for mapping across information models, and evaluating a mapping of elements across information models, and a system and computer program product thereof. The method of mapping an element of a source information model to an element of a target information model includes: receiving information for mapping a first element in a source cluster to an element in the target information model; mapping the first element to the target element using the received information for mapping the first element to the target element; and mapping all other elements in the source cluster to the target element.

Abstract: A composition for restoration and treatment of PVC materials is provided and the composition comprises: at least one plant based solvent; and at least one UV protectant, and the plant based solvent comprises from about 20% to about 95% of said composition and the UV protectant is from about 1% to about 15% of said composition.

Abstract: A server acts as the hub of a collaborative commerce system. Suppliers of goods or services self publish information to the hub. Buyers are able to query the hub for product and service availability, price etc. Buyers are able to integrate real time multi product and multi service orders from multiple suppliers, carriers and field serve providers and thus secure available goods as well as the delivery and installation of those goods from the records available on the hub. Once an order is complete to the buyer's satisfaction, the order is transmitted to the hub. The hub then transmits the appropriate information to the relevant suppliers, carriers and installers as required. The system also provides for a system of virtual partitioning of a supplier's inventory.

Abstract: Systems, program product, and methods of electronic communication network guided navigation which allow users to obtain more relevant product search results much more quickly, are provided. An example of a system can allow a user to enter or start a product search request for a relatively broad term in a search engine and quickly start looking for relevant information by assisting the user in narrowing the product search results in a more efficient guided search. The results can be displayed to a user in a row of boxes, which focus the user on categories of potential intentions or meanings behind the product search request term or terms so that the user's intent can be quickly ascertained and the user directed to results more closely aligned with or coinciding with the user's intent behind the product search request.
