Abstract: The client may access a wide variety of data sources without extensive customization. A service integration module comprises a plurality of service records, each of which is associated with a respective data source. The service integration module may be configured to manage data source integration including data source drivers, credentials, and connection information. In response to a service request from a client, the service integration module identifies a service record, generates a data source query, accesses a result of the query, and transmits the result to the client. The service integration module may map raw data returned from a data source into a standard format. The service integration module may also reformat the results into a format or data encoding specified by the client.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for selectively demetallizing a metallized film whereby the metallized web is selectively demetallized by bringing the web into contact with two electrodes, one of which contacts a greater surface area of the web than the other, and maintaining an electrical potential difference between the two electrodes. Preferably, the electrodes comprise rollers, one of which may be provided with a predetermined pattern. The potential difference between the respective electrodes can be controlled to effect selected demetalization of predetermined desired regions of the web or to vary the extent of demetalization from a desired region. The web material can subsequently be used as microwavable packaging material.
