Abstract: Multi-layer surface protection films and methods for making and using such films are provided. The surface protection films have first and second thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) layers and an intermediate ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) layer positioned between the first and second TPU layers. The use of first and second TPU layers as outer layers aids in the optical clarity of the film. The TPU layers may have different thicknesses. The use of EVA as a component of the film layers provides a lower cost film, as compared to conventional monolayer TPU films. The EVA component properties and overall ratio of EVA in the film can be used to modify physical properties of the multi-layer structure, while maintaining equivalent or superior performance to these films when used as a coating for surfaces on a wide range of applications, such as automobiles, wind turbine blades, appliances, electronic displays, mobile devices, and the like.

Abstract: Protective structures for use with laminates and laminates including the protective structure are provided that may be used in a variety of different applications, such as shatter resistant windows for vehicles and buildings. A protective structure comprises a first layer comprising polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), acrylic or a combination thereof. The first layer has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The structure further includes a hard coating on the first surface of the first layer and a second layer comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) in contact with the second surface of the first layer. Forming a protective structure into a single film or layer reduces material handling and cost. In addition, this structure has fewer independent webs and can be manufactured with a reduced thickness, thereby further reducing manufacturing costs.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for providing predictive user interface elements. A computing system may train a machine-learning model to identify issues that are likely being experienced by users contacting a customer service system based at least in part on historical user account data of a plurality of user accounts. When a request for assistance is received, user account data corresponding to the request may be obtained and provided to the model to identify issues likely experienced by a user. A number of graphical user interface (GUI) elements (e.g., “match cards”), each corresponding to one of the identified issues, may be generated, ranked, and presented in accordance with the ranking. Each GUI element may be selectable. Upon selection additional data likely to be pertinent to the selected issue may be presented alleviating a need to search for this data as would be the case in conventional systems.

Abstract: Luminescent compositions are provided having improved color intensity and articles incorporating said luminescent compositions as security taggants, for example as anti-counterfeiting components in pharmaceutical packaging applications, or as aesthetic colorants that are generally usable in any application where luminescent coloration is desired. The luminescent compositions incorporate a particulate fluoropolymer that is blended with one or more luminescent pigments and/or luminescent dyes. These components are provided in a liquid medium in which the fluoropolymer particles are dispersed and with which the pigment(s)/dye(s) may or may not be soluble.

Abstract: System and methods for a price feed generation are described. According to an example method described herein, upon receiving market information including a plurality of linear prices and order quantities, a reference price level is selected and a price feed message is generated to include the reference price level and the plurality of order quantities. The price feed message is then provided to client terminals.

Abstract: An insulated glass unit (IGU) is provided. The IGU meets the industry standards for impact resistance while significantly reducing the weight of the IGU compared to conventional IGUs. In particular, the two pane IGUs of the present invention can meet or exceed industry standards for various wind storm criteria while reducing the weight and cost of the IGU. The IGU only requires one layer of film to meet the performance of previous IOU designs that require two or more layers of film laminated to two or more surfaces of glass.

Abstract: Molded articles which include at least one layer of a fluoropolymer and at least one layer of a thermoplastic polymer. More particularly, molded bottles having a layer of a fluoropolymer attached to a layer of a polyethylene via an intermediate adhesive tie layer. The molded articles are preferably formed such that the fluoropolymer layer is either the innermost layer or central layer of the multilayered structure. The adhesives that are employed are useful in adhering layers of dissimilar polymeric materials that are otherwise incompatible and achieve a significantly improved interlayer bond strength between a fluoropolymer layer and a thermoplastic polymer layer.

Abstract: Gas barrier polyamide compositions exhibiting a low crystallization rate and good coinjection stretch blow moldability with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to enable the fabrication of clear, high barrier multilayer PET bottles that have a long shelf life.
