Abstract: Tracking digital asset infringement activities and infringers on peer-to-peer networks. One method for assessing notice effectiveness of unauthorized distributors of content on a peer-to-peer network comprises processing peer data from a plurality of peers on the network, wherein the peer data aids in identification of individual unauthorized distributors. The embodiment includes creating a trial with a trial base population of the unauthorized distributors and a trial capture window, determining metrics for measuring the notice effectiveness, selecting a randomization methodology for the trial, performing the trial with the trial base population over the trial capture window according to the randomization methodology and issuing notices to some of the unauthorized distributors.

Abstract: A technique is provided for wirelessly tracking valuable assets during transit via a tracking system. The tracking system includes an event sensor for generating a trigger signal upon sensing an event and a position sensing device for receiving positional information of an asset being tracked. The tracking system also includes a communication device for communicating a date, a time and received positional information to one or more monitoring stations upon being triggered by the trigger signal. The one or more monitoring stations process the information received from the tracking system to determine if the event is expected or an anomaly via an anomaly detection algorithm.

Abstract: A method for the production of a decorative laminate having an abrasion-resistant, scuff- and mar-resistant overlay, wherein the method comprises forming an overlay, wherein the method of forming the overlay comprises: impregnating a first side of a substrate with a first thermosetting resin; coating the first side of the substrate with a layer of slurry comprising a second thermosetting resin and a mix of abrasion resistant particles, wherein the mix of abrasion resistant particles comprises at least about 5 percent of elliptical, platelet shaped abrasion resistant particles to form a composite; and curing the composite to form a cured composite.
