Abstract: A system provides interactive and automated features to aid in planning, management, and execution of events within venues. Venue hardscapes are geolocated, parsed, and stored to be used when configuring events. During event configuration a venue softscape may be automatically generated and applied to the venue hardscape to produce an initial layout. The initial layout may be modified to create and assign booths to exhibitors by multiple coordinators in parallel. Geolocation of hardscaped may be extended into softscapes, such that location data may be maintained for temporary structures such as booths. Conflicts may be avoided by implementing one or more conflict prevention features, including enforcement of universal layouts, booth locking, synchronous session management, automatic identifier assignment to preserve locational correspondence, booth and layout validation, and others.

Abstract: A method of patterning a mesoporous nano particulate layer on a conductive substrate comprises the steps of depositing a pattern on the conductive substrate, depositing a layer of titanium dioxide by atomic layer deposition on the substrate, removing the underlying pattern with a solvent to leave discrete areas of titanium dioxide, depositing a mesoporous nano particulate layer over the whole substrate, and depositing a second layer of titanium dioxide by atomic layer deposition above the mesoporous nano particulate layer whereby the areas of mesoporous nano particulate layer and second titanium dioxide layer over the areas where the first layer of titanium dioxide was removed with the solvent fall off, leaving the patterned mesoporous nano particulate layer.

Abstract: A method of creating a patterned particulate layer of a photovoltaic device comprises the steps of providing a dry powder to a fluidising unit, fluidising the powder to form a fluid flow and conveying the fluid flow to a printing unit. The printing unit has means to divert a variable amount of flow to a substrate and the remainder of the flow back to the fluidising unit.

Abstract: The use of a boric acid, borate or derivate and/or salt thereof in a subbing layer coated onto a non resin-coated support beneath an upper layer comprising a binder and an inorganic particulate material such as fumed silica and an under layer between the upper layer and the subbing layer, which under layer comprises a binder and an inorganic particulate material such as calcium carbonate, increases the gloss of an ink jet receiver formed thereby whilst maintaining good ink absorption, good image density and minimizing puddling and associated coalescence, and where the receiver otherwise suffers from surface-cracking, decreases the propensity to cracking.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of making a material, said method comprising generating a foamed hydrophilic polymer solution, especially of a gelatin or derivative thereof, and treating said foamed hydrophilic polymer solution with sufficient energy and for a sufficiently short time that a polymer foam having an open-cell structure is formed. The invention also provides a material comprising a support and an ink receiving layer supported on the support, the ink receiving layer comprising porous hydrophilic polymer, especially gelatin, and is formed by coating a solution of foamed hydrophilic polymer, especially gelatin, onto a support substrate and drying the coated substrate for a time period selected to be short enough such that an open-cell foam is formed.
