Abstract: A process for the production of composite materials comprising nano-fibrillar cellulose gels, by providing cellulose fibres and at least one filler and/or pigment, combining the cellulose fibres and the at least one filler and/or pigment, fibrillating the cellulose fibres in the presence of the at least one filler and/or pigment until a gel is formed, subsequently providing at least one further filler and/or pigment and combining the gel with the at least one further filler and/or pigment.

Abstract: A digital wallet provider system provides an interface specification to a financial account issuer. Using the interface specification, the financial account issuer system provides user financial account information directly to the digital wallet provider system without requiring the user to enter the user's financial account information. Once the digital wallet provider system receives the user's financial account information from the financial account issuer system, the digital wallet provider system verifies the identity of the user and the completeness of the financial account information received from the financial account issuer system. The digital wallet provider then updates the user's digital wallet account, on behalf of the user, to include the user's financial account.

Abstract: A method of transferring files in a data-processing network using a current node within the network includes reading an outbound content and outbound characteristics of an outbound file. An outbound message is created having outbound strings including a first set of the outbound strings representing the outbound characteristics and a second set of the outbound strings representing the outbound content. The outbound message is sent to a receiver node within the network. An inbound message is received from a sender node within the network. The inbound message has inbound strings including a first set of the inbound strings representing inbound characteristics and a second set of the inbound strings representing inbound content. An inbound file having the inbound content is stored, and the inbound characteristics are applied to the inbound file.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide an IDE tool that provides rapid application development features for a variety of disparate data sources. Further, developers may customize and extend the rapid application development features to suit their development needs in a particular case. In a particular embodiment, the rapid application development template may be configured to generate a set of configuration files localized used to deploy a “lightweight” application, such as a web-service, to a particular application server.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for creating and managing a data server-managed web services runtime. A generic web service runtime module and associated runtime controller are deployed on an application server. The runtime controller monitors a web services management metadata store for changes in the web service metadata defining the available data access based web services. If a change is detected, the generic web services runtime automatically updates the web service artifacts and web service endpoint interface associated with the affected web service such that the change in the web service metadata is reflected in the data access-based web service. A user manages the web services management metadata store and defines and manages data access-based web services from the database containing the web services management metadata store without interacting with the application server.
