Abstract: Solutions to the problems of scuffing and chipping of the paint films in high traffic areas and in tight spaces, such as dressing rooms in department stores, where multiple scrapings of the wall paints are created by consumers, clothes hangers, shoes, etc., and hallways and conference rooms in office and other commercial buildings are disclosed. Wax seeded latex polymers admixed with an added wax in architectural compositions and optionally with polyurethane resin are utilized to create paint films that are resistant to scuffing and chipping.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for facilitating commercial transactions, such as sales, trades, or barters, using a virtual currency value. A data repository containing a list of available items is created and updated. A virtual value is assigned to each item in the data repository. Upon a match between an offer and a request for an item, the virtual value of the item is deducted from the buyer's account, and is added to the seller's account.

Abstract: System and method for integrating electronic text indexing and search. A concept model defines a set of concept-value pairs. A set of queries is constructed in the query model in terms of a subset of the concept-value pairs, which is used to create allowable concept-values in an inventive markup tool for assignment, via markup tags, to sentences of a piece of electronic text. Concepts are automatically updated as the query model is updated to keep the concept-values used in the markup tool consistent with the concept-values used in the query model. The queries and the assigned markup tags integrate concept-values from the concept model. The integration of the concept model with the markup tool and the query model tool makes indexing electronic textbooks much quicker with less effort.
