Abstract: A glass container including a body having a delamination factor less than or equal to 10 and at least one marking is described. The body has an inner surface, an outer surface, and a wall thickness extending between the outer surface and the inner surface. The marking is located within the wall thickness. In particular, the marking is a portion of the body having a refractive index that differs from a refractive index of an unmarked portion of the body. Methods of forming the marking within the body are also described.

Abstract: Disclosed are self-standing calcined elements (e.g. bricks and tiles) comprising a cathode active material, and methods of preparation thereof. The process includes mixing a reagent with a metal precursor to form a precursor mixture, compressing the precursor mixture into a self-standing precursor element (e.g. brick and tile), and heating the self-standing precursor element (e.g. brick and tile) to form a self-standing calcined element (e.g. brick and tile) comprising a cathode active material.

Abstract: FATE creates a modular, scalable, and tailorable sensor environment to collect information across four dimensions, three spatial and one temporal. This extends an aware environment that collects data, ranging from minute measurements to major actions, within a FATE. These measurements and data can? then be fed to cognitive and predictive algorithms so that COLLECTORS can make decisions based on measured actions informed by minute but tangible attributes and characteristics of the USERS or userborne devices within its physical/temporal boundaries.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rubber composition which contains silica reinforcement and functionalized crosslinks, particularly crosslinked functionalized precipitated silica, including sulfur crosslinked functionalized silica and associated cured rubber compositions, and to articles of manufacture having a component thereof such as, for example tires. A dimercaptothiadiazole is used to form the crosslinked network within the rubber composition. The mercapto moieties of said dimercaptothiadiazole are desirably protected from prematurely reacting with, for example, diene-based elastomers and sulfur-containing silica coupling agents by pre-reaction with an aromatic carboxylic acid chloride or by reacting in situ with an aromatic carboxylic acid.
