Abstract: A polymer-based foam composition includes an ethylene-based polymer matrix, graphene particles dispersed in the matrix, at least one crosslinking agent, at least one blowing agent, and optionally, kickers, crosslinking co-agents, plasticizers or combinations thereof. The polymer-based foam composition is particularly useful for applications that require lightweight and sound insulation properties.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a process scanner and a processor connected with the process scanner. The processor is configured to retrieve, via the processing scanner, operation information indicative of a serial number of an operation, an operation number, an order number of an order associated with the operation, a work time spent on the operation, and a material number of a material associated with the operation. The processor associates the operation information with a first user assigned to the operation, and saves, to a history database, a process record. The record includes the first user, a time element, a location of the operation, a completion status of the operation, a current status of the operation, and one or more turnbacks of the operation. The processor outputs to a display a graphic of the operation information and a balance of user time associated with the operation information.

Abstract: A system for correlating private IP addresses with usage of applications to associate particular users with the application usage. An application executes on a first server and is accessible by devices via a network connection. Tracking software sends data to a second server indicative of a private IP address the device which accesses the tracking software. The second server determines a user identifier and transmits second data to a third server, the second data indicates the private IP address and a second server identifier. A DNS server tracks usage of the application to associate a time stamp, a domain and the private IP address with a log record. The log record is transmitted to the third server. The third server queries the log record by the private IP address to match data from the log record with the second data to associate the log record with the user identifier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a topically applied cosmetic reductive composition containing up to 20 wt. % of hydrolyzed keratin and sulphur. The remaining components are: water, compatibilizers, surfactants, thickeners, preservatives and/or aromatics. The cosmetic composition can be used to reduce adipose tissue in different areas of the body.

Abstract: A punching bag having a body, a pair of arms, and a support mechanism is disclosed. The support mechanism is for suspending the punching bag from an elevation via a cable connected to a rod, which rod is secured to the body. The rod is movably connected to a pair of stabilization bars which extend from a base and are for preventing excessive movement of the punching bag. The punching bag also has a head, a belly, and a pair of kidney components for better simulating a human body.

Abstract: A smart meter protection system for decreasing intensity of radiation going into one's home from a smart meter associated with the building structure includes a redirection mechanism operably associable with the smart meter to partially enclose a smart meter so as to redirect radiation emitted from the smart meter away from the interior of the building structure.

Abstract: A smart meter protection system for decreasing intensity of radiation going into an interior of a building structure, living area, or where people frequent from a smart meter includes a redirection mechanism operably associable with the smart meter to substantially enclose an outer surface area of the smart meter so as to redirect radiation emitted from the smart meter away from the interior of the building structure, living area, or where people frequent.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for sterilizing a system, preferably a pharmaceutical preparation such as a dispersion of small particles or droplets of a pharmaceutically active compound using high pressure terminal sterilization techniques and products therefrom.

Abstract: An ecologically sustainable structural panel. The structural panel comprises of a unique gage frame, expanding foam, and ecologically sustainable exterior sheathing boards. The ecologically sustainable structural panel is fireproof, water proof, mold proof, asbestos free, impact resistant, moisture resistant, and bacteria resistant. The ecologically sustainable structural panel is also capable of withstanding winds of up to 150 miles per hour due to unique operative connections between male junctions, female junctions, L-junctions, anchors, and the utilization of pins instead of screws.
