Abstract: A symbolic representation of a business process is received, the process including transfer of information from a first software application to a second software application. An association between a first data field included at the first software application and a second data field included at the second software application is determined, and a data manipulation operation to modify data associated with the first data field is determined, the modified data to be stored at the second data field. The determining is based on association information and data manipulation operations maintained at a database. The association information and the data manipulation operations are determined based on previously received business process representations.

Abstract: A method of making a transparent capacitor apparatus includes: providing a first transparent substrate including a first patterned conductive layer having a first pattern; providing a second transparent substrate including a second patterned conductive layer having a second pattern different from the first pattern; locating the first transparent substrate over the second transparent substrate so that the first patterned conductive layer is effectively parallel to the second patterned conductive layer. Overlapping portions of both the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are patterned time into spatially matching conductive areas and non-conductive areas by locally applying heat to melt conductive materials in the non-conductive areas so that the surface tension of the conductive materials causes the conductive materials to coalesce into structures with a reduced conductive layer area.

Abstract: A transparent capacitor apparatus includes a first transparent substrate including a first patterned conductive layer having a first conductive material located over the first transparent substrate; a dielectric layer located over the first patterned conductive layer; a second patterned conductive layer including a second conductive material located over the dielectric layer, wherein the second pattern is different from the first pattern; and a second transparent substrate located over the second patterned conductive layer. Portions of the first conductive material of the first patterned conductive layer overlap portions of the second conductive material of the second patterned conductive layer. The overlapping portions of the first and second conductive materials form matching patterned electrical conductor(s) having spatially matching conducting and non-conductive areas, the non-conductive areas of the first and second patterned conductive layers having encapsulated coalesced conductive material structures.

Abstract: A web-based interface is provided for visually modeling a business-to-business or application integration process by selecting and associating predetermined process-representing visual elements. A customized, enterprise-specific executable software application (“dynamic runtime engine”) is automatedly produced by software running remotely. The dynamic runtime engine is created to include a generic application template, predefined “stock” codesets selected as a function of the modeled process, and a data profile codeset that includes input provided by the user for customizing the stock components for a specific integration process of a specific enterprise. The application template and selected codesets may subsequently be downloaded to provide an executable dynamic runtime engine software application that is customized to perform a specific integration process for a specific enterprise.

Abstract: A process of forming a single color image which has improved abrasion resistance comprising:a) providing a thermal donor element comprising a heat-activatable image layer of a dye or pigment on a support, the image dye or pigment absorbing in the region of from about 300 to about 700 mn;b) providing a receiving element in superposed relationship with the thermal donor element;c) imagewise-exposing the thermal donor element by means of a laser or thermal head, thereby causing a change in the adhesion of at least a portion of the exposed areas of the heat-activatable layer to the receiving element or causing a portion of the exposed areas of the heat-activatable layer to diffuse into the receiver element;d) separating the thermal donor element from the receiver element, thus creating an image layer on either or both of the elements;e) charging either the thermal donor element or the receiver element containing the image layer to a given polarity or applying a voltage across the surface of the element which is a

Abstract: A lithographic printing plate is comprised of an anodized aluminum support having thereon an oleophilic image-forming layer comprising an infrared-absorbing agent dispersed in a film-forming cyanoacrylate polymer binder. The plate is imagewise exposed to a focused high-intensity infrared laser beam which removes the oleophilic image-forming layer by thermal ablation to thereby reveal the underlying hydrophilic support surface. The cyanoacrylate polymers provide superior performance due to their combination of low decomposition temperature, good ink receptivity, good adhesion to the support and good wear characteristics.

Abstract: A lithographic printing plate is comprised of a support having a porous hydrophilic surface, such as grained and anodized aluminum, and an oleophilic imaging layer overlying the porous hydrophilic surface. The imaging layer is comprised of an oleophilic, radiation-absorbing, heat-sensitive, film-forming composition which is readily removable from the porous hydrophilic surface prior to imagewise exposure and which is adapted to form a lithographic printing surface as a result of imagewise exposure to absorbable electromagnetic radiation and subsequent removal of the non-exposed areas to reveal the underlying porous hydrophilic surface. Examples of suitable techniques for removing the non-exposed areas include contact with printing ink on the press, removal by lamination and peel development steps and removal by use of an integral stripping layer.
