Polypropylene resin compositions are provided that are useful in the production of biaxially oriented polypropylene films (BOPPs). The resins of the present invention are blends of high crystalline (low solubles) polypropylene homopolymer and an ethylene/propylene random copolymer (RCP). These blends can be used to replace standard high solubles BOPP grade polypropylene homopolymers. In addition, ...

An article comprising a skin formed from a water soluble resin, wherein the resin comprises a water-soluble polymer and a water-soluble filler.

There are provided an organic semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same, which make it possible to easily form a dense polymeric insulating film with high insulating properties as a gate insulating film, without using a vacuum apparatus, and to dispense with the step of patterning the gate insulating film. Gate electrodes 12 are formed on a glass substrate 11. Then, poly(1,4-bis(...

This invention is directed to an elastomer composition produced by crosslinking a high molecular weight =Si-H containing polysiloxane and a diene, diyne or ene-yne compound in the presence of a diluent. The elastomer composition is suitable for use in forming personal care compositions.

The present invention relates to restaurants, computer networks, wireless portable computers and more specifically to a restaurant service and transaction monitoring; time management; and processing system and method.

A loyalty system is retrofit into an existing retail or purchase transaction system such that the system is inserted between a reading device and the reading device's associated original controlling hardware. The loyalty system is then capable of receiving information read by the reader and, for example, passively reading the data as if it is being transferred from the reader to the reader's contr...

A preferred route may be determined from an origin location to a destination location. The determination is made by processing directed links (e.g., one-way edges) in a graph that includes one or more links and two or more nodes. The determination of a preferred route may include an estimate of the time required at one or more intersections along alternative routes and/or an estimate of the time r...
