  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A SUSTAINABILITY METRIC
    Publication number: 20120271669
    Abstract: An electronically implemented method of determining and managing a sustainability metric of one or more inventory groups is disclosed. Each group comprises one or more operational units. The method receives at least one of consumption data and one or more inventory parameters associated with each of the one or more inventory groups. A factual sustainability metric of the one or more inventory groups is determined, based on the received at least one of consumption data and one or more inventory parameters. A model sustainability metric of the one or more inventory groups in at least one model scenario, is also determined. The model scenario comprising modifying at least one of received consumption data and a received inventory parameter, to assess the effect of the modification on the factual sustainability metric.

  • Methods of reducing thermo-oxidation of polymers such as polyacrylonitrile
    Patent number: 7694827
    Abstract: A filter comprising a polymer material comprising a polymer matrix such as polyacrylonitrile containing dispersed metal oxide particles. The metal oxide particles are for example ferric oxide particles, and the polymer material contains generally 0.25-3% by weight of these particles. The filters are resistant to thermo-oxidation and have reduced shrinkage or degradation.
