Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyolefin composition comprising: a) at least one first polyolefin having a multimodal molecular weight distribution and prepared in the presence of at least one metallocene catalyst; and b) at least one second polyolefin having a Mw/Mn of at least 10.0 and a long chain branching index grheo of at least 0.85, wherein said second polyolefin is present in an amount of at least 1.0% by weight based on the total weight of the polyolefin composition; wherein the second polyolefin has a High Load Melt Index of at least 0.60 times the High Load Melt Index HLMI of the first polyolefin and of at most 1.40 times the High Load Melt Index HLMI of the first polyolefin, as measured following the procedure of ISO 1133 condition G using a temperature of 190° C. and a load of 21.6 kg. The present invention also relates to processes for preparing said composition, and articles made therefrom.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for tagging application data with enrichment information for interpretation and analysis by an analytics system. In operation, a tagging system receives data from an application. The tagging system examines the data to identify characteristics associated with the data. Additionally, the tagging system tags the data with enrichment information based on the identified characteristics associated with the data and criteria including application specific context and logic, such that the data is capable of being interpreted and analyzed by an analytics system.
