Publication number: 20240108697Abstract: Liquid or gel antimicrobial compositions are described. The compositions comprise enzyme that is able to convert a substrate to release hydrogen peroxide; and substrate for the enzyme. The compositions do not comprise sufficient free water to allow the enzyme to convert the substrate, or have a water activity (aw) of 0.7 or less. The compositions may comprise polymer, and there may be greater than 50%, by weight, of the polymer and/or less than 20%, by weight, of sugar in the composition. The compositions may comprise non-aqueous solvent, no honey and 5% or less, by weight, of the substrate in the composition. There may be greater than 50%, by weight, of the non-aqueous solvent and/or there is less than 20%, by weight, of sugar in the composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2021Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Stewart GREEN, Mark BROUGHTON, Wendy RICHINGS-BARROW, Ian HARDING

Publication number: 20240087104Abstract: One variation of a method for monitoring manufacture of assembly units includes: receiving selection of a target location hypothesized by a user to contain an origin of a defect in assembly units of an assembly type; accessing a feature map linking non-visual manufacturing features to physical locations within the assembly type; for each assembly unit, accessing an inspection image of the assembly unit recorded by an optical inspection station during production of the assembly unit, projecting the target location onto the inspection image, detecting visual features proximal the target location within the inspection image, and aggregating non-visual manufacturing features associated with locations proximal the target location and representing manufacturing inputs into the assembly unit based on the feature map; and calculating correlations between visual and non-visual manufacturing features associated with locations proximal the target location and the defect for the set of assembly units.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Samuel Bruce Weiss, Anna-Katrina Shedletsky, Simon Kozlov, Tilmann Bruckhaus, Shilpi Kumar, Isaac Sukin, Ian Theilacker, Brendan Green

Patent number: 9971596Abstract: Aspects include extensible change set conflict and merge gap detection in a record-based configuration management system. A method includes instructing the record-based configuration management system to create a change set. The method also includes instructing the record-based configuration management system to add one or more version mappings to a given configuration and to indicate specific concepts which should be flagged as not participating in a process that includes change set conflict and merge gap detection. The record-based configuration management system is instructed to deliver the change set to a requestor.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2017Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ian Green, Gary M.

Publication number: 20130090962Abstract: A system for providing variability and materialization over links connecting product line resources is disclosed herein. The system may include a user interface configured to issue a request for a product-line resource given in a specified product configuration context, responsive to a user selection, wherein the product configuration contains one or more features of the feature model, wherein the product line resources are stored on one or more databases and are further connected between themselves via links, each associated with a respective variability, based on the feature model and the product line resources connected via the links; and a resources fetcher configured to retrieve the resources requested in view of the specified product configuration by providing the links associated with the variability of the specified product configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2011Publication date: April 11, 2013Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dolev Dotan, Ian Green, Mila Keren, Andrei Kirshin, Shiri Kremer-Davidson, Julia Rubin, Dominic Tulley, Mark N.
