Abstract: The present invention relates to stabilizer composition for halogen-containing polymer. It has recently been found that tin-based thermal stabilizers with a bridging alkyl group between two tin centers are effective stabilizers while having effectively double the molecular weight of the corresponding non-alkyl bridged stabilizer. It is expected that ongoing experimentation will confirm that the alkyl bridged stabilizers have much lower volatility which leads to greater retention of the stabilizer in the finished article.

Abstract: Connections among two different entities are identified by processing a collection of documents to identify one or more documents that contain co-occurring mentions of each of the two different entities. This relationship may be graphically displayed in a user interface with an icon or the like for each of the two entities, along with a graphical link interconnecting the entities. The graphical link can be an active element of the user interface that responds to user interactions by providing access to evidence within the collection of documents that substantiates the connection between the two entities. In one aspect, a search input form field in a user interface may be used to explicitly request documents that substantiate a relationship between two entities. In another aspect, a user may ground entity mentions by explicitly selecting documents that mention an entity of interest.

Abstract: The present invention relates to catalyst compositions. More particularly, the present invention relates catalyst compositions comprising at least one alkyl bridge group. The catalyst of the present invention has been shown to provide higher filterability than provided by non-bridged catalysts when used in ester reactions, and provide lower extractability than provided by non-bridged catalysts when used in urethane reactions. The present invention is expected to be catalytically active in the same way to all ester bonds, urethane bonds, silicones, siloxanes, organic tins.
