Abstract: A dry erase writing surface has a low gloss level of 20-40 that can be utilized as both a writable/erasable dry erase surface and a projection surface, formed by a single component, 100% solids polyurethane, ambient cured, dry erase-coating formulation. The coating formulation includes a low NCO isocyanate, a cure accelerating catalyst, a flow, leveling, and defoaming agent, a silica powder matting agent to reduce the gloss level and an exempt solvent to reduce the viscosity and the gloss level. The surface is ready for use in 24 hours. The coating has a low VOC of between 0 g/l and 5 g/l. The coating is applied to a prepared surface of a substrate to form a film thickness of 1-3 mils. Marks on the dry erase surface remain virtually invisible after 2500 cycles.

Abstract: An apparatus that includes a vision system configured to capture images of two-dimensional barcodes. The apparatus further includes a processor operably coupled to the vision system and a network interface. The processor is configured to process a captured image of a two-dimensional barcode on a card to obtain card processing information, to obtain user information for a user associated with the card, and to combine the card processing information with the user information to generate a resolution request message. The network interface is configured to send the resolution request message to an institution associated with the card.

Abstract: A card generating system that includes a card information database and a card processing system. The card processing system comprises an interface, a vision system, a processor, and card processing hardware. The interface is configured to receive card requests. The vision system is configured to process two-dimensional barcodes to obtain card feature data. The processor is operably coupled to the interface, the vision system, and card processing hardware. The processor is configured to select a card comprising a two-dimensional barcode based on the card request and to obtain a card data file corresponding with the card request. The processor is further configured to compare card feature data to the card data file and to determine whether the card feature data corresponds with the card data file. The card processing hardware is configured to process the card in response a determining the card feature data corresponds with the card data file.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for management of media player functionality. A template user interface including slots, each slot including definition for a control, may be received. The definition may include a position within a user interface and a size for the control. The control may be associated with a feature for media applications. A list including a feature for a first media application may be received. The feature for the first media application may use one of the slots of the template user interface. A translated interface for the first media application may be generated by replacing one the controls associated with the slots with a control for the feature of the first media application, where the control for the feature of the first media application uses the position in the definition associated with the slot for the replace control. The translated interface may be displayed.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for an application specific user interface. A list including a feature for a first media application may be received. The first media application may be run on a first computing device. A template user interface including a definition for a control, including a position within a user interface for the control and a size of the control, may be received. A media application theme may be received for the first media application and may include a color scheme, control icon, logo, or unique control. A translated interface may be generated for the first media application by associating the control of the template user interface with the feature of the first media application and applying the media application theme for the first media application. The translated interface for the first media application may be displayed on the display of a second computing device.

Abstract: A composition for applying to a variety of surfaces to impart dry erase properties to a substrate surface. A single component paint applied to a substrate surface by aerosol spray, brush, or roller. Currently factory applied, baked on finishes and two-part coating systems are available, but a standard single component paint formulated to withstand the penetration of dry erase markers and cleaners is not in use. Further, an endless number of colors can be produced through the addition of the appropriate pigment to the dry erase paint formulation.

Abstract: A non thermal plasma reactor for treating gases. The reactor has a tubelike housing, which contains four concentric channels. A central channel is a gas inlet channel. Two inner channels are a non thermal plasma reactor channel and a catalytic channel. The outer channel is a gas outlet channel.

Abstract: The present application provides a method for evaluating one or more components using a non-engine based test system, the method comprising: providing a non-engine based test system comprising a combustor in fluid communication with the one or more component; supplying fuel and air to the combustor under feed conditions comprising a controlled air to fuel ratio (AFR), the feed conditions being effective to produce a feedstream flowpath; combusting at least a portion of fuel in the feedstream flowpath under combustion conditions effective to produce an exhaust gas while preventing substantial damage to the combustor; and, exposing the one or more components to the exhaust gas under alternate conditions comprising substantially any conditions other than those selected from the group consisting of accelerated aging conditions and drive cycle conditions.

Abstract: Method for treating a component using a non-engine based test system to produce and/or to regenerate a contaminated component comprising contaminant particulates from diesel exhaust.

Abstract: A fabric wall panel system which mounts wall panels by means of releasable hanger. The fabric wall panel system includes a wall panel and a hanger. The fabric wall panel comprises a frame and a flat filler insert. The frame comprises a plurality of linear frame members. Each frame member has a spine with an elongated opening, a side edge, and a front edge which together define a groove. The flat filler insert is fitted within the groove of each frame member. Fabric is stretched over the frame and insert and is bonded to the back of each frame member to complete the finished fabric wall panel. The hanger has a flat base and a perpendicularly extending tongue with an enlarged head. A number of hangers are affixed on the wall using an adhesive. The slit on the fabric wall panel is aligned with the tongue of hanger on the wall, and the fabric wall panel is affixed to the wall by pressing the slit over the tongue on the hanger. The fabric wall panels can be prefabricated or installed in situ.

Abstract: There is disclosed a fabric wall panel consisting of a frame formed from linear frame members with a flat insert within the frame and fabric stretched over the frame and glued on the back. The linear frame members have an inside tongue for fastening the frame to a wall and an outside raised channel of three profiles, square, triangle, and quarter round.
