Abstract: Disclosed herein are a plastic article exhibiting long term stability at elevated temperatures of about 150° C., resistance to degradation under UV and visible light exposure and resistance to discoloration upon exposure to fumes (such as the kind originating from other vehicles or during warehouse storage). Also disclosed herein are stabilizer additive compositions that may be incorporated into a plastic article to effectuate said performance.

Abstract: Use of porous metal oxide microspheres as light stabilizers for shaped artificial polymer articles, wherein the porous metal oxide microspheres are prepared via a process comprising forming a liquid dispersion of polymer nanoparticles and a metal oxide; forming liquid droplets of the dispersion; drying the droplets to provide polymer template microspheres comprising polymer nanospheres; and removing the polymer nanospheres from the template microspheres to provide the porous metal oxide microspheres.

Abstract: A method for generating and managing logical units (LUNs) in a storage network environment is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method includes determining a type of LUN, identifying one or more servers that will access the LUN, and identifying a storage system that will host the LUN. The method then generates a LUN name that encapsulates the type, the one or more servers, and the storage system. The method then assigns the LUN name to the LUN. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating and managing logical units (LUNs) in a storage network environment is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such an apparatus includes an identification module to identify a type of LUN, one or more servers that will access the LUN, and a storage system that will host the LUN. A mapping module maps the type, the one or more servers, and the storage system to one more abbreviations. A naming module then generates a LUN name that encapsulates the abbreviations. An assignment module may then assign the LUN name to the LUN. A corresponding method and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: Solid, low dust pigment compositions are formed i by mixing pigments with certain polymer stabilizers under conditions wherein the stabilizers are in a liquefied state. The pigment compositions are easily handled and have a high color yield when incorporated into polymer substrates. In many cases, the color development attained is not readily achievable using pigment compositions comprising conventional carriers.
