Abstract: A specification of one or more steps of a digital workflow specified using a graphical user interface is received. An indication of a program transfer control step in the digital workflow to return to a previously specified step in the digital workflow is received. The already specified specification of the one or more steps of the digital workflow is analyzed to determine one or more constraints of the program transfer control step. Based on the determined one or more constraints of the program transfer control step, a configuration of the program transfer control step in the digital workflow is restricted in the graphical user interface.

Abstract: An optical stack includes a substrate, a radio-wave anti-reflection sheet configured to reduce reflection from the optical stack of radio waves at a predetermined operating frequency, and a visible light reflective, infrared light transmissive multilayer optical film disposed between the radio-wave anti-reflection sheet and the substrate.
