Abstract: Methods are provided for forming a thermal barrier coating having a non-linear compositional gradient and/or a non-linear porosity gradient, along with coated components formed therefrom. The method includes spraying a deposition mixture of a first composition and a second composition via a solution precursor plasma spray apparatus onto a surface of a substrate; while spraying the deposition mixture, adjusting at least one deposition parameter such that the thermal barrier coating is formed with the non-linear gradient.

Abstract: Task flows are utilized for real-time page compositions, real-time flow compositions, or both. At design time, a plurality of task flows are provided as a database or library. A manager, or other type of user, can associate task flows with dynamic regions in an application page being designed. The application page can include one or more dynamic regions that act as a container for task flows. Metadata is generated from the customization of input parameters. At runtime, application pages are generated on-the-fly for display in a user interface. The application pages are composed according to the task flows embedded therein. The application pages are presented to the user according to an application flow. Through a user interface, the user can enter and retrieve information related to governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) activities, or other types of activities.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise a system and method of providing a graphic user interface (GUI) for scripts. The system comprises one or more scripts, a script GUI module and an interface unit. The script GUI module establishes and maintains communication channels between an executing script and the interface unit. The script GUI module receives information from the executing script and determines if the information comprises an input type command. If the information comprises an input type command, the script GUI module generates an appropriate input mechanism as a function of said input type command.
