Abstract: A silicone-polyolefin composition is disclosed. The silicone-polyolefin composition comprises (A) a polysiloxane, (B) a functionalized polyolefin, and (C) a curable silicone elastomer component. The polysiloxane (A) comprises an average of at least one functional group X per molecule, and the functionalized polyolefin (B) comprises an average of at least one functional group Y per molecule, where the functional group X and functional group Y are reactable to form a bond therebetween. A silicone-polyolefin blend, a curable composition comprising the silicone-polyolefin blend, a cured product of the curable composition, and methods of preparing the silicone-polyolefin blend, curable composition, and cured product are also disclosed.

Abstract: A flowable silicone-polyolefin composition is disclosed. The silicone-polyolefin composition comprises (A) a polysiloxane and (B) a functionalized polyolefin dispersed in the polysiloxane (A). The polysiloxane (A) comprises an average per molecule of at least one functional group X, and the functionalized polyolefin (B) comprises an average per molecule of at least one functional group Y that is reactable with the functional group X of the polysiloxane (A) to form a bond therebetween. A curable composition comprising the flowable silicone-polyolefin composition, a cured product of the curable composition, and methods of preparing the flowable silicone-polyolefin composition, curable composition, and cured product are also disclosed.

Abstract: Techniques for managing XML data associated with multiple execution units ensure that execution units are able to use XML data coming from other execution units. Such techniques are applicable when, but for the technique, an XML type value is produced in a particular form by one execution unit and is supposed to be consumed by another execution unit that is unable to process data in the particular form, and involves detecting that the foregoing situation exists and annotating information sent to an XML producer execution unit to cause the XML type value to be transformed into a canonical form that can be shared by all relevant execution units.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with grouping automated search results are described. One embodiment includes a computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions operable to perform a method that includes identifying items to group. The method also includes selectively grouping a first item and a second item upon determining that a comparison of a metadata attributes indicates that the first item and the second item are to be treated as members of a group.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with automatically summarizing a document are described. One method embodiment includes computing term scores for members of a set of terms in a document to be summarized and computing sentence scores for sentences in a set of sentences in the document. The method embodiment also includes computing a set of entries for a term-sentence matrix that relates terms to sentences. The method embodiment also includes computing a dominant topic for the document and simultaneously ranking the set of terms and the set of sentences based on the dominant topic. The method embodiment provides a summarization item(s) selected from the set of terms and/or the set of sentences.

Abstract: Systems, methodologies, media, and other embodiments associated with index replication using crawl modification information are described. One exemplary system embodiment includes an enterprise search system comprising a target search system comprising an index logic that uses modified crawl information related to items associated with sources to maintain an index that supports searching of the items; and, a crawl search system comprising a pipeline processor configured to receive modified crawl information related to the items and to propagate the modified crawl information to the target system.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with identifying and selectively deleting duplicate search results are described. One example system embodiment includes logic to receive an identity indicator from a search logic. The identity indicator is associated with a search item that the search logic determines to be relevant to a search request. The example system may also include logic to determine whether the search result associated with the identity indicator is a duplicate result based on comparing the identity indicator to another identity indicator associated with another search result.
