Abstract: Interlayers for use with laminates and laminates are provided that may be used in a variety of different applications, such as windows for vehicles and buildings, impact resistance devices, such as bulletproof glass and others, decorative films for windows, walls or doors, window tinting, colored or mirrored glass, window films and the like. An interlayer comprises an adhesive film having a monolithic structure comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The film comprises one or more functional elements disposed within its monolithic structure and has a thickness of at least about 0.015 inches. The interlayer is a single TPU layer that includes both adhesive and functional properties, which allows the interlayer to be attached to one or more outer transparent layers in a laminate assembly that is particularly useful in, for example, applications requiring solar control functionality, such as windows that absorb or reflect heat, IR and/or UV light and the like.

Abstract: A multilayer protective film comprising a polyvinylidene fluoride/acrylate polymer layer and one or more thermoplastic polyurethane layers is provided. The multilayer protective film may possess beneficial and desirable properties useful in protecting surfaces, such as for example, high ultraviolet resistance, optical clarity, durability, and gloss.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions, laminates, films and/or composites made from polymers, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and windows incorporating the same. The films may have one or more optical layers made from materials that allow the transmission of visible light and reflect or absorb ultraviolet (UV) light. A composite having an infrared (IR) cutoff layer, and a polymer layer desirably having UV absorber may be disposed between layers of glass or artificial glass, combined with polycarbonate (PC) or polyethylene terephalate (PET) layers.

Abstract: A thermoplastic polymer film comprising a multilayer film having an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) layer and a polymer layer is provided. The multilayer thermoplastic polymer film may possess beneficial and desirable properties useful in protecting surfaces from harmful environmental conditions or elements, such as for example, stain and scratch resistance as well as high gloss. Methods of making the multilayer film with interpenetrating polymer network are also provided.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide interfaces to access genomic testing information and incorporate it into daily physician practice. According to one aspect, a graph-based data model is used that may be used to organizes and revise precision medicine knowledge. In one example structure, gene states are abstracted into alteration groups, where alteration groups are built using reverse engineering actionable information and storing that information within the graph-based data structure. Volumes of genomic alterations and associated information (e.g., journal articles, clinical trial information, therapies, etc.) are analyzed and synthesized into actionable information items viewable on an alteration system in a graph-based data format. According to one embodiment, the system can be configured to focus practitioners on discrete portions of the alteration information on which they can act.

Abstract: A system for managing genomic information includes a processor to collect and store biomarker data, receive and store patient-specific pathology information, generate a graph-based data structure of complex data elements arranged into a walkable graph representation that includes at least one of a disease alteration group association (DAGA) element representing a relationship between a disease and an alteration group (AG), at least one of a disease therapy association (DTA) element representing a relationship between a disease and a therapy for treating the disease, and a therapy genomic effect (TGE) element representing a relationship between a gene and a known effect of a therapy on the gene. The processor follows links in the walkable graph representation to determine at least one inferred path, generates inferential matches to actionable items based on an accumulated trust score of the at least one inferred path, and determines a treatment decision for a cancer patient.

Abstract: A plastic bag lined container is disclosed which includes four sides, a bottom and a top, with the container including a plastic bag liner loosely disposed therein which at least covers the container sidewalls. Incorporating a plastic liner in the container for discharge of elastic tapes or threads substantially reduces friction against the sidewalls during high speed discharge, while providing air pockets for even packing along the sidewalls, achieving uniform tension in the material during discharge to assure relatively precise elastic elongation in final products wherein the elastic tapes or threads are used.
