Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for securely accessing a wallet maintained by a centralized platform on a blockchain. An example method generally includes receiving a request to access one or more wallets on a blockchain. Generally, the request includes an authorization code associated with a controlling party associated with the one or more wallets and user credentials associated with the controlling party. A first portion of a private key is decrypted based on the authorization code and a salt associated with the user credentials associated with the controlling party, and a second portion of the private key is decrypted based on credentials associated with an application through which the wallet is accessed. Access to the one or more wallets is granted based on the decrypted first portion and the decrypted second portion of the private key.

Abstract: This invention provides a method of making an elastomeric article, and the method comprises dipping a mold into a first dip tank containing a compounded nitrile rubber formulation to produce an elastomeric film layer on the mold, the compounded nitrile rubber formulation comprising nitrile butadiene copolymer; a crosslinking agent; a metal oxide; a vulcanization accelerator; an antioxidant; an alkali agent; and a heat sensitizer; then drying and curing the elastomeric film layer to form the elastomeric article. The heat sensitizer may be an organopolysiloxane. Elastomeric articles prepared according to this invention may have a film thickness in a range of 0.020 mm to 0.050 mm; such films are suitable for medical examination gloves, surgical gloves, or condoms.

Abstract: A dead front panel for an electronic device includes a transparent substrate and a layer of colorant. The transparent substrate corresponds to a surface of the electronic device and has a display window area and a non-display window area. The display window area is an area through which light is emitted by a display element of the electronic device when the display element is illuminated. The layer of colorant is applied to a back surface of the transparent substrate at both the display window area and the non-display window area. A thickness of the layer in combination with a transmittance of the colorant permits visibility of the light emitted by the display element when illuminated and obfuscates visibility of the display element when not illuminated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing reduced graphene oxide, incorporation of the reduced graphene oxide into polyisoprene latex to provide a polyisoprene latex graphene composite and elastomeric articles prepared using the polyisoprene latex-graphene composite. In particular, the reduction of graphene oxide is accomplished without the use of strong reducing agents and organic solvents and incorporation of the reduced graphene oxide into polyisoprene latex is accomplished using room temperature latex mixing method or hot maturation. The resultant composite exhibits good colloid stability and polyisoprene latex films produced from the composite exhibit good mechanical properties with improved ageing resistance.
