Abstract: A computer system displays a first object that includes at least a first portion of the first object and a second portion of the first object and detects a first gaze input that meets first criteria, wherein the first criteria require that the first gaze input is directed to the first portion of the first object in order for the first criteria to be met. In response, the computer system displays a first control element that corresponds to a first operation associated with the first object, wherein the first control element was not displayed prior to detecting that the first gaze input met the first criteria, and detects a first user input directed to the first control element. In response to detecting the first user input directed to the first control element, the computer system performs the first operation with respect to the first object.

Abstract: Provided are SAN/SAN-ABS materials having improved mechanical and aesthetic properties.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a polycarbonate; a copolymer derived from a copolymerization of a vinyl aromatic monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomer; an impact modifier that comprises acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate; a first gel-type low gloss additive; where the first gel-type low gloss additive is an epoxy cross-linked styrene acrylonitrile dispersed in polycarbonate; a second gel-type low gloss additive; where the second gel-type low gloss additive is an epoxy cross-linked styrene acrylonitrile dispersed in polystyrene; a first polymethylmethacrylate; and a second polymethylmethacrylate; where the first polymethylmethacrylate and the second polymethylmethacrylate are present in a total amount of 1 to 25 wt %, based on the total weight of the composition; and wherein the first polymethylmethacrylate has a higher weight average molecular weight than the second polymethylmethacrylate.

Abstract: A method of providing two-tier commercial contract pricing includes providing a contracting party with at least one commercial contract having an option of an arbitration provision or not having an arbitration provision, the at least one commercial contract including at least two price levels, a first price level if the arbitration provision is selected, and a second price level if the arbitration provision is not selected; allowing the contracting party to select the first price level with the arbitration provision or the second price level without the arbitration provision; and executing the at least one commercial contract with or without the arbitration provision and at the corresponding price level as selected by the contracting party.

Abstract: Processed foods and food products are prepared by including from 2,000 to 10,000 I.U. of nisin to prevent the outgrowth of Clostridium botulinum spores.

Abstract: Process cheese spreads containing moisture in amounts ranging from 54% to 60% by weight are prepared by including from 2,000 to 10,000 I.U. of nisin and the outgrowth of Clostridium botulinum spores is prevented even when the product is stored for an extended period of time at 30.degree.
