Abstract: A coating has dual curing mechanisms wherein the first cure reaction and second cure reaction become active due to differing reaction mechanisms.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of performing forensic analysis of DNA sequences includes computing a digest of a raw DNA sequence, where the digest is a numerical value which can be in a base-16 numeral system. The digest numerical value is converted into a converted numerical value which can be a base-26 numeral system, selected to produce a label consisting of letters that can be allocated incrementally to produce labels with the minimum number of letters necessary to avoid duplicate labels for different DNA sequences within a given domain of sequences. Distinct compact labels for distinct DNA sequences are useful in computer interfaces, verbal communications, comparing DNA sequences of different individuals, expressing relationships between sequences, and other situations where compactness is desirable.

Abstract: An article includes a plurality of stacked sheets. Each sheet includes a film having a first side, with a print receptive or primed layer, and a second side, with an optional release treated layer; and a bonding layer that is coated at 100% solids on the first side of the film to releasably attach a second side of a film of an overlying sheet to the first side of an underlying sheet. Each sheet is stacked upon another sheet such that except for a topmost sheet of the stack the bonding layer is in contact with the second side of a film of an overlying sheet. The bonding layer of the topmost sheet defines an outer surface of the stack that protects the topmost sheet of the stack from environmental damage.

Abstract: An anti-reflection coating comprising a first polymeric layer having a refractive index between about 1.64 and about 1.85 is disposed on a substrate. A second polymeric layer is also provided having a refractive index between about 1.29 and about 1.55, and overlies the first polymeric layer. An inorganic metal oxide layer 30 also overlies the first polymeric layer.

Abstract: A composition for forming a layer on a substrate includes a polyelectrolyte that is soluble in a polar solvent. The polyelectrolyte includes a plurality of aromatic groups and nitrogen atoms in a main polymer chain and has a refractive index of at least about 1.64 at a wavelength of about 680 nm. The composition also includes a solvent and, optionally, a plurality of colloidal particles.

Abstract: A silane-free coating composition includes a polar aprotic reactive diluent, a colloidal inorganic oxide, and a crosslinkable monomer that has a functionality of at least one.
