Abstract: Anti-condensation compositions and laminates comprising a cellulosic material selected from a cellulose ester and a cellulose ether and a polymer of an oxazoline, and processes for making such anti-condensation compositions without the need for saponification. Such compositions have now been shown to exhibit extremely desirable anti-condensation characteristics, with a low degree of hazing and increased hardness.

Abstract: A method of inkjet printing includes the steps of: printing a first ink onto a print medium, the first ink including a first self-dispersible pigment, the first ink having a first pigment content A; and subsequently printing a second ink onto the print medium at least partially over the first ink, the second ink including a second pigment and a polymeric dispersant encapsulating the second pigment, the second ink having a second pigment content B. The first self-dispersible pigment and the second pigment have a same color; the pigment content A of the first ink and the pigment content B of the overprinted second ink have a relationship 0.8?A/B?1.2; and a polymer acid value of the polymeric dispersant is in the range of 100 to 170.

Abstract: A system and method for creating a dollar index are provided including selecting, from a survey on foreign exchange turnover, data for plural dollar/foreign currency pairs, creating a subset of data from the daily total daily averages of each currency pair and determining the percentage weighting of each currency pair by the total value of the subset, creation of a proportionally weighted dollar index by multiplying the determined weighting of each currency pair with a reported closing price of that currency pair to generate a coefficient for that currency pair and determination of a subsequent current value of the index by multiplying each generated coefficient with a current price for a currency pair.
