Abstract: The present invention relates to plasticized polyolefin compositions comprising a polyolefin and a non-functionalized hydrocarbon plasticizer.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method to make an article comprising the steps of combining a semi-amorphous polymer having a heat of fusion of less than 70 J/g with a plasticizer and optionally one or more additives, to produce a polymer concentrate, combining the polymer concentrate with one or more final materials to produce an article precursor; and forming the article at least partially from the article precursor, wherein the polymer concentrate preferably shows no visible phase separation as demonstrated by the polymer concentrate having no visually detectable loss of the plasticizer after a portion of the polymer concentrate is aged on an absorbent surface for 24 hours at 25° C. An article produced by the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of providing identification of an entity includes maintaining a database of identification data specific to the appearance and condition of entities, providing a unique description for each entity enabling access to the entity's identification data in the database, providing identification means adapted for portage with the entity and containing the unique description and maintaining secondary databases containing the entity's identification data as acquired from prior encounters so that multiple comparisons can be made to assure that the individual bearing the identification means is the same individual to whom the identification means were issued.

Abstract: The present invention relates to radiation resistant plasticized polyolefin compositions comprising a polyolefin and a non-functionalized hydrocarbon plasticizer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering a training course whose content is independent of the delivery technology and whose content is deliverable in future delivery technologies without significantly rewriting or recoding the training course. For a training course, an XML version of the content of the training course is generated. The XML version of the content can be accessed through a content module which provides an interface to a viewer that corresponds to a selected delivery technology. The same content can be provided through different delivery technologies by using the appropriate viewer. This preserves the viability and life of the content because it is easily adapted to different delivery technologies. A graphic treatment for the content is also independent and separately changeable. Also, a instruction strategy for determining how to present the content is provided.
