ECRM Electronic Supply Chain Management Computer Science Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
The supply chain is made up of all the activities that are required to deliver products to the customer, from designing product to receiving orders, procuring materials, marketing, manufacturing, logistics, customer service, receiving payment and so on. Anyone, anything and anywhere that influence a product's time-to-market, price, quality, information exchange, delivery, among other activities is part of the supply chain.
E-supply chain management is digitally connecting the entire world into one big network of supply chains.
The enrich growth of Internet has completely changed the nature of business and the manner in which they compete. From internet and computer new businesses has emerged and also traditional businesses have got benefits from new lease of life which is afforded by the automation of their current activities and processes and also by transforming their existing supply chain relationships into computer mediated collaboration in e-supply chains.
E-supply chains have made from the application of internet technologies in the management of supply chain interactions. Especially, the basic provider of well-managed e-supply chains is omnipresent visibility, to all supply chain participants, of information relating to their supply chains. This visibility is only possible if the enterprise systems of all supply chain partners are integrated to share information in real-time, either through direct integration between the systems or through electronic marketplaces that centralize supply chain data and transactions. Various applications and business processes such as make-to-order, CPFR, and VMI can be defined on this ubiquitous information backbone.
2) Global Supply Chains
Supply chains today are increasingly dispersed and global in nature. No single company takes responsibility for all the activities in the supply chain. In fact, there is a tendency for companies, to focus on their main competencies and partner with other companies having complementary strengths while fulfilling the complete needs of the customer, giving rise to an integrated supply chain network. An integrated supply chin network is a group of independent companies, often located in different countries, forming a strategic relation with the common goal of designing, manufacturing, and delivering right quality products to customer groups faster than other alliance groups and vertically integrated firms.
The structure of an integrated supply chain network:
Picture is taken from Google.com
These kinds of networks are common in the energy, automobile, pharmaceutical, aerospace, electronics, and computer, food, and apparel industry sectors. In global manufacturing of this kind, components may be sourced from several countries, assembled in yet another country, and distributed to the customers all over the world.
These kinds of networks are not generally under single ownership but are group formations of independent companies in alliance for a specific and special purpose. They compete with similar cooperating networks. A well designed logistics network provides streamlined material flow between all partners, cutting down the lead-time and cost of moving the raw materials and finish goods to their final destinations. Normally, a typical customer order happen several B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Consumer) logistical operation. An extranet, a secure and reliable communications network linking all the companies of the enterprise, provides the information integration. By providing the right information at the right time to all the stakeholders, the extranet enables efficient logistics and effective decision-making. This integration will reduce the inventory levels and also the cost of delivery. Essentially information substitutes inventory levels and also the cost of delivery. Essentially information substitutes inventory. I other words, if one knows when his/her order is scheduled on the assembly plant and on the transport carrier, then the need for inventory and safety stock is reduced.
3) E-Supply Chains Building Blocks:
E-supply Chains can be designed and studied through a systematic approach, which considers the various levels at which information technology can be applied in traditional supply chain. As mentioned earlier the fundamental building block of e-supply chains is visibility. Visibility of information across the supply chain allows supply chain partners to automate some of their inter-organizational processes. For example, if the manufacturer is aware of the inventory levels at the retailer end, he or she may automate the replenishment (to replace what has been used :) process when the inventory falls to a certain critical level, as is done in the Vendor Managed Inventory policy. Such inter-organizational workflow automation within the supply chain forms the second block of an e-supply chain. And finally, even greater efficiencies can be harnessed (to use energy, skills or resources in order to achieve strength/ control and make of use) from visibility and workflow automation through integrated planning of activities across the supply chain. Supply chain planning technologies form the third major building block for e-supply chains.
Components of an e-supply chain:
The communications technologies such as the Internet and wireless, information technologies such as XML, Java, WAP, etc. have made the ubiquitous flow of information seamless. It is now possible that a customer order placed with the retailer centre or on a corporate web-site is now instantly available to the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and all its suppliers who can then plan and execute their activities so as to meet the unique requirements of that specific customer order. To a certain extent such a scenario was achievable with EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) links between all the supply chain partners as well. However, EDI has its drawbacks.
Draw backs of EDI:
They are very expensive to maintain.
Require dedicated links to be formed between each of the supply chain partner
Relationships cannot be formed dynamically with new partners when the customer requirements demand so.
Supply chain Workflow Automation
The second major element of e-supply chains is that of supply chain workflow automation tools that build upon the visibility within the supply chain. These workflow automation tools fundamentally automate many of the commonly occurring interaction between companies by harnessing the visibility within the supply chain. As may be expected, some of these applications are also delivered through electronic marketplaces. Some of the commonly deployed supply chain workflow automation applications include available to promise, track-and-trace and vendor managed inventory, electronic procurement and dynamic pricing.
Available-to-promise applications require complete knowledge of the material availability and unused manufacturing capacity within the supply chain. The process of accessing and processing this information to provide an availability notification can be automated only when there is visibility into the supply chain.

Track-and-trace services offered by the logistics companies, process the information on the activities within the fulfillment of a particular item, in order to provide the latest status report on the location and condition of the item. This concept can be further extended to include track and trace of work-in-progress, raw materials and finished goods within the supply chain.
Supply Chain Planning
Without being affected by the significant savings and tremendous opportunities afforded by supply chain visibility and workflow automation, their true power can only be harnessed when it is accompanied by intelligent decision support tools that optimize the automated movement of materials based on the information available from supply chain visibility. Such an automated and optimized process will lead to lower inventory levels and greater asset utilization while meeting customer requirements. As a result these planning tools incorporate a much greater degree of efficiency in the operation of the supply chain. For example, the planning of optimal VMI replenishment cycles built on a strong foundation of supply chain visibility along with automation provides the basis for value adding planning solution.
In terms of supply chain excellence through planning the ultimate goal is the synchronization of all the activities right from the raw material supplier to the final delivery to the customer. This may be achieved through solutions, which optimize scheduling of activities on a global level, instead of sub-optimal scheduling in individual organizations. One of the typical possibilities that arise in as a result of global scheduling is synchronization of manufacturing with the schedules of airlines, something that was not possible earlier.
Collaborative global supply chain planning and optimization
Picture is taken from an EBook
Prerequisites To Success
Effectively integrating the information and material flows within the demand and supply process is what Supply Chain Management is all about. In most companies, however, two major and very interdependent issues must be simultaneously addressed. The first deals with delivering products with customer-acceptable quality, with very short lead times, at a customer-acceptable cost - while keeping inventories throughout the supply chain at a minimum. The second issue, which tends to be less understood and accepted, is the need for high quality, relevant and timely information that is provided when it needs to be known. For many customers and manufacturers, business processes and support systems will not measure up to the task of quickly providing planning and execution information from the marketplace to production and onto vendors so that the customer's objectives are consistently met. The fact is, most information supplied is excessive, often late and frequently inaccurate.
For many companies, the nagging question about superior resupply Chain Management remains, "What is it going to take to get ahead and stay ahead of our competition?" The answer to that question is, of course, "plenty," but successful extended enterprises share some characteristics. Benchmark of how well your company is progressing with Supply Chain Management.

For successful ESCM it's important to embrace collaboration with customers and suppliers in the development of planning and replenishment process. As we know suppliers and customers most band together in mutually beneficial partnership the need for better ESCM process and system is very evident and a very high business priority. The flows of information is the most important thing for ESCM and will give you edge when you have good product in the competition. To achieve the organization goal it's important to give more attention to the ESCM. It will help the organization to reduce the cost, increase the marker share, improve profits and minimize inventories. As we know now a day for many industries, market share will be lost and won based on the best ESCM performance

The Jets have been in serious negotiations with tackle Steve Martin to repair the last hole in their once-depleted defense.
''We had good talks on Thursday and Friday, and then they sort of stalled,'' Martin's agent, Paul Sheehy, said yesterday from his office in Littleton, Colo. ''But I hope we'll continue talking on Monday. They want Steve and I know he'd like to be back.''
Martin was a career backup until settling in at tackle for the Jets last season. The 6-foot-4, 317-pound Martin was eligible for free agency on March 1 and became one of seven former Jets defensive starters to leave the team.
The Jets have filled six of those holes; only one at defensive tackle remains. The team had hoped to come to terms with Josh Evans of the Tennessee Titans, but his price tag remains too high. Gerald EskenaziContinue reading the main story

It will be even easier to unlock account-wide flying in Legion now that two requirements were nerfed!
Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part Two no longer requires the completion of the Legionfall campaign (Breaching the Tomb).
To unlock flying
Have Broken Isles Pathfinder, Part One completed Explore Broken Shore Reach Revered with Armies of Legionfall (Legionfall Commander) This is the second change that will make it easier to unlock flying. The first one was made several builds ago, where reaching Exalted with the new faction (Armies of Legionfall) was necessary (now it's down to Revered).
Nethershard cost for Shard Times was drastically reduced.
Blizzard Entertainment (Source)
Thanks for the feedback, everyone! The original currency requirement for Nethershards in this quest was temporary until final Nethershard costs and drop rates were determined. The current requirement for this quest is 2500 Nethershards. Also, *spoiler* Khadgar realizes that he was a bit overzealous and at the conclusion of the quest determines he only needs 1. So the player is left with the remaining 2499 to use as they please.
Additionally, some folks are worried that the Legionfall Campaign is going to stop them from flying. It's not! The campaign is not a requirement to unlock flying in 7.2. One of the early versions of the achievement had that as a requirement, but it has since been removed.
You can see this on the PTR right now. It looks like the datamining sites are a bit out of date though.

Moonkin Festival is one of the newest micro-holidays added in Patch 7.2.5. The celebration takes places in Moonglade and the final reward is 5 Moonkins Hatchlings following you for 5 days.
A wonderful celebration of all things Moonkin is happening today in Moonglade. Stop by and see what you can learn!
Go to Moonglade and find Makkaw. He has the "Moonkin Monitoring" quest for you and you're sent to observe three activities vital for the life of every Moonkin. You watch them dance, moonfire and sleep. When complete, you get a Moonkin Hatchling (Moonkin Hatchling) that follows you for 1 day. Then you need to loot a Moonkin Stone to be able to understand Moonkins. By talking to your hatchling you learn it's hungry.
Collect 5 Moonberries and feed the hatchling. Once done, a second hatchling will join you and the buff is extended to 2 days. Don't waste your time searching for the berries in the Moonkin area, you'll find them in the village.
Now you need to kill Jadefire Shadowmasters in the village and they will drop Brilliant Vial, Constellas Corruption & Moonglow Water to create a Moonkissed Antidote and administer the antidote to their friend Clookle, who can be found beneath the village. Entrance can be found in the north. He's Poisoned and petrified.
This will spawn a fourth hatchling and they tell you to go kill Xavinox. He has around 60 million Health and can be problematic to solo for non-tank specs.
He drops Beanie Boomie and the amount of moonkins following you for 5 days is increased to 5.

The invulnerable bug will hopefully be eradicated after today's hotfixes, there's a lot of quest fixes and multiple artifact challenge appearances will no longer stack up on top of each other in class halls!
April 25 (source)
Class Halls
Players who have unlocked multiple Challenge appearances for their Artifacts will no longer see more than one of them on top of each other in their Class Halls. Items
Players should be able to transmogrify tabards to the appearance of the Legionfall Tabard. Butcher's Bone Apron should no longer provide a benefit that persists in unintended circumstances. Player versus Player
Fixed a bug that was causing some players to become invulnerable in instanced PvP. The quest "Something Different" now requires 1 brawl victory (was 3 brawl completions). The quest now rewards a Soldier's Legacy Artifact Power token, 3 Marks of Honor, and a Brawler's Footlocker. Quests
Corrine the Deceiver should now respawn as expected when killed on the quest "Cult Culling". Fixed a bug that was causing errors opening Stolen Crates during "Arming the Army". "Full Fel" now correctly awards quest credit. Resolved issues where some Paladins were not able to obtain the letter starting the Maximillian questline. A certain Escape Rope in a secret treasure cave is now easier to see. It's dark in there! Previous hotfixes.

text: Now not huge news but I thought it was note worthy for what it suggests for the future. Harper and Rowan won the tag titles off The Uso's at the Belfast event. During the celebration however Finlay came out and got the match restarted which of course The Uso's then won. Reason I post is I see this as WWE testing the fan reaction to The Wyatts and no doubt plan on running with them as champs soon what with them getting more and more over.

This season, primarily because of a rash of early season injuries and a bench not as deep as he's accustomed to playing with, Pitino has turned to a version of the press he hasn't used much in the past - the 2-2-1.
Following Saturday's 85-62 victory over Tennessee, Pitino credited his team for "pressing better and more intelligently" this season. He credited his players experience at Tuesday's media gathering as one reason for his team's successful pressure defense. He then noted that the 2-2-1-press doesn't tire his own players as much as did his more traditional denial, man-to-man presses - an important factor for a team that rarely goes more than 8 or 9 deep off its bench.
"We're also running different presses this year than we have before," explained Pitino. "We're more concerned about pressing and trapping and we're not creating any fatigue [for ourselves]. So that's why we've gone to a 2-2-1 match-up press."
Of course long-time Louisville fans are no strangers to the 2-2-1. Denny Crum used the press to lead a youthful, smallish bunch to the school's first NCAA title in 1980 and kept with it throughout much of the 1980's - a decade that saw the Cardinals reach four Final Four's and win two NCAA championships.
"It's not a tiring press at all," said Pitino. "It's one that can slow the other team down and create some steals but it's not an all-out deny. We've been pressing that way about 80-percent of the time and it's a lot different for us than what we've done in the past."
Pitino says the 2-2-1 has another benefit for his team - one that has helped make the Cardinals one of Conference USA's top defensive teams. Wearing opponents down with the 2-2-1 and making them exhaust much of the shot-clock simply bringing the ball upcourt has proven a winning formula for the Cardinals. They're averaging nearly ten steals, while forcing more than 19 turnovers per contest. Likewise, U of L's foes have averaged just 61 points and are shooting below 37-percent for the year.
"It also works the clock down a little bit," added Pitino. "The 2-2-1 makes [the opponent] take their time, reverse the ball and you get close to some ten-second violations."
More importantly, Pitino's crafty employment of a press that has helped Louisville to past glory may wind up providing some in the very near future.

This is a Continuation-In-Part of application Ser. No. 07/890,502, filed May 28, 1992, now abandoned.
This invention relates to a polyurethane polymer and, more particularly to a melamine-cured polyurethane coating composition derived from an organopolysiloxane diol. The coating composition is useful in the manufacture of toner fusing members.
In certain electrostatographic imaging and recording processes, for instance, in electrophotographic copying processes, an electrostatic latent image formed on a photoconductive surface is developed with a thermoplastic toner powder which is thereafter fused to a substrate. The fusing member can be a roll, belt or any surface having a suitable shape for fixing thermoplastic toner powder images to a substrate. The fusing step commonly consists of passing the substrate, such as a sheet of paper on which toner powder is distributed in an imagewise pattern, through the nip of a pair of rolls. At least one of the rolls is heated and in the case where the fusing member is a heated roll, a smooth resilient surface is bonded either directly or indirectly to the core of the roll. Where the fusing member is in the form of a belt it is preferably a flexible endless belt having a smooth, hardened outer surface which passes around the heated roller. A persistent problem in this operation is the tendency of the toner to adhere not only to the paper but also to the fusing surface which contacts it, when the toner is heated during passage through the rolls. Any toner remaining adhered to the member can cause a false offset image to appear on the next sheet that passes through the rolls and can also degrade the fusing performance of the member. Another problem may occur as a result of continued heating causing degradation of the member which results in an uneven surface and defective patterns in thermally fixed images.
Toner fusing rolls are composed of a cylindrical core which may contain a heat source in its interior, and a covering layer bonded directly or indirectly on the surface of the core. A thin layer of a suitable primer is advantageously coated on the surface of the core in order to improve bonding of the layer. Roll coverings are commonly made of fluorocarbon polymers or silicone polymers, such as poly(dimethylsiloxane) polymers, of low surface energy which minimizes adherence of toner to the roll. Frequently release oils composed of, for example, poly(dimethylsiloxanes) are also applied to the roll surface to prevent adherence of toner to the roll. Such release oils may interact with the roll surface upon repeated use and in time cause swelling, softening and degradation of the roll. Silicone rubber covering layers which are insufficiently resistant to release oils and cleaning solvents are also susceptible to delamination of the roll cover after repeated heating and cooling cycles.
Toner fusing belts are composed of a continuous flexible material having superior resistance to heat and a specified finishing surface. The belt substrate can be metallic or polymeric. The surface of the belt is composed of a thinly coated, low surface energy polymer such as a fluorocarbon or a silicone resin. There is a need for coating compositions which adhere strongly to the belt and form a hard, tough surface which is resistant to wear and cracking. The surface should also be resistant to cleaning solvents and fluids.
In electrostatographic imaging processes dry developers can be used to form an image on a receiving surface such as a sheet of paper. Dry developers usually comprise a toner powder and carrier particles. Carrier particles and toner particles have different triboelectric values. As the developer mixture is agitated the particles rub together and the toner and carrier particles acquire opposite electric charges and cling together. In the subsequent development step the somewhat higher opposite charge of the electrostatic latent image draws the colored toner from the carrier and develops the image. Frequently, various addenda are used to improve the properties of the toner and carrier particles.
Toners comprise, as a major component, the binder, and as minor components a colorant and a charge control agent. The binder can be any resin which has properties suitable for dry toners. Many such resins are known but thermoplastic resins which are fixable by fusing are especially useful. When a dry toner powder image is transferred from one surface to another defects in the image can occur. It is known from U.S. Pat. No. 4,758,491 that by the addition of low surface energy liquid or solid addenda, especially polymers containing organopolysiloxane segments, many of these defects can be alleviated.
Carrier particles comprise magnetizable irregular particles which are usually coated with a film of a polymeric material which helps develop the triboelectric charge and aids the transfer of the toner. The coating material must adhere well to the carrier particle because the toner charge declines as the polymer wears off. Polymers with low surface energy properties are especially useful for coating carrier particles.
Polymers, also, are composed of various types. For example, one type is a block copolymer. Block copolymers are macromolecules comprised of chemically dissimilar, terminally connected segments. Their sequential arrangement can vary from A-B structures, containing two segments only, to A-B-A block copolymers with three segments, to multiblock -(A-B)-n ' systems possessing many segments. ##STR1## See Noshaz et al, Block Copolymers, Academic Press, New York (1977).
The present invention provides a melamine-cured polyurethane coating composition which is useful in the manufacture of fusing members with improved properties, including increased resistance to solvents and thermal degradation.
The polyurethane of the invention is the polycondensation product of an organopolysiloxane diol of the formula I, ##STR2## wherein, R1 -R2 are independently C1-6 alkylene;
R3 -R6 are independently C1-6 alkyl, vinyl or phenyl; and
n is 3 to 300;
a C2-20 diol and a monomeric diisocyanate of the formula, OCN-D-NCO, wherein D is a hydrocarbon bridging group.
The coated article of the invention, such as a fusing belt, comprises a substrate and coated thereon a composition comprising a crosslinked block copolymer product of a polyurethane block copolymer, as described above, and a melamine resin.
The polyurethanes that are used in the practice of this invention are derived from polymeric silicone diols and low molecular weight diols.
The polymeric silicone diols are readily prepared, for example, by ring-opening polymerization of any cyclic monomers which yield disubstituted-siloxane repeating units, with hydroxy functionalized disiloxanes. Suitable cyclic monomers include, for example, octamethylcylotetrasiloxane (known by the abbreviation D4) and octaphenyltetrasiloxane. Suitable hydroxysiloxanes include, for example, 1,3-bis(3-hydroxypropyl)-tetramethyldisiloxane and 1,3-bis(4-hydroxybutyl)-tetramethyldisiloxane. The reaction is illustrated by the following reaction sequence: ##STR3##
The ring opening reaction may be carried out in the absence of a solvent if the reactants are liquid or in the presence of an inert solvent, for example, toluene and xylene. The polymerization is initiated by a catalyst and conducted at a temperature of, for example, 50�-200� C. Catalysts which are preferred are the so-called transient catalysts, for example, tetramethylammonium siloxanolate and n-butyltricyclohexylphosphonium silanolate which can be removed from the product by vacuum drying.
An alternative route to hydroxyalkyl endcapped organopolysiloxanes involves the direct hydrosilation of unsaturated alcohols in the presence of a platinum catalyst. The reaction is illustrated by the reaction of a polydimethylsiloxane with an alkenyl alcohol by the following reaction sequence; ##STR4##
The hydrosilation reaction can be carried out in the presence of a suitable inert solvent, for example, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, toluene or diglyme. In cases where the reactants are liquid a solvent is not necessary. Suitable catalysts to promote the reaction are, for example, Group VIII metals or derivatives thereof. A particularly suitable metal is platinum, preferably in the form of platinum divinyltetramethyldisiloxane. The reaction may be carried out at a temperature of, for example, from 15�-100� C.
In the organopolysiloxane diol of formula I: ##STR5##
Lower alkylene groups which R1 and R2 represent include methylene, ethylene, propylene, butylene, pentylene, hexylene and 2,2-dimethylpropylene.
Lower alkyl groups which R3 -R6 can represent include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec-butyl, pentyl and hexyl.
Preferred organopolysiloxane diols are those in which;
R1 and R2 are propylene, butylene or 2,2-dimethylpropylene;
R3 -R6 are methyl or phenyl, preferably methyl;
n is 10 to 100;
the diols can range in number-average molecular weight from about 400 to 40,000, preferably 1,000 to 10,000.
These organopolysiloxane diols of relatively high molecular weight which are the base polymers of the invention are advantageously employed as a mixture with low molecular weight diols which comprise up to about 80, and preferably up to about 50 weight percent of the total diol compounds. Low molecular weight C2-20 diols having a molecular weight range of about 62-300 are especially useful. Low molecular weight diols of this type are, for example, ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 2,2-dimethyl, 1,3-propanediol, 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol (known as Bisphenol A), 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane (known as Bisphenol AF) and mixtures thereof. As illustrated by the representative samples, all the diols contain not more than one ester or one ether group.
The diisocyanates of formula, OCN-D-NCO, which are useful for preparing the polyurethanes of the invention are commercially available or readily prepared by standard methods known in the art. The hydrocarbon bridging groups represented by D include, phenylene, tolylene, hexamethylene, methylene, methylene diphenyl and methylene dicyclohexyl. Exemplary diisocyanates include, 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate, 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate, methylene diisocyanate, methylene bis(4-phenylisocyanate), 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, methylene bis(4-cyclohexyl isocyanate) and mixtures of such monomeric diisocyanates.
The polycondensation reaction to produce the polyurethane of the invention can be carried out in an aprotic solvent, containing not more than traces of water. Suitable solvents include, for example, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, diethylene glycol dimethylether, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, dimethylformamide, toluene, tetrachlorethylene and mixtures thereof.
The reaction may be carried out in one step, by mixing the reactants, that is, a polysiloxane diol, a C2-20 diol, and one or more monomeric diisocyanates, in stoichiometric ratios with the solvent and a small amount of catalyst. The reaction can be carried out at a temperature of, for example, from 20�-100� C. It is desirable to use a slight excess of the diols to ensure that there are no free isocyanate groups present in the polyurethane product, to form an -(A-B)n' - block copolymer. ##STR6##
Catalysts which can be used include, tertiary amines, for example, pyridine or triethylamine; alkali hydroxides, for example sodium or potassium hydroxide; alkali alcoholates, for example, sodium methoxide; and organic tin compounds, for example, tin octanoate, tin laurate and tin acetate.
Preferred polyurethane block copolymers of the invention are those wherein the polyurethane comprises 25-60 weight percent, preferably 30-50 weight percent of polymeric diols; the polyurethane has a number-average molecular weight range of 5,000 to 500,000, preferably 10,000 to 100,000; the polyurethane consists essentially of 30-50 weight percent of polydimethylsiloxane blocks; the polyurethane is derived from methylene bis(4-cyclohexyl isocyanate).
The polyurethane block copolymers described above are soluble in polar organic solvents, for example, chlorinated solvents such as methylene chloride, and tetrahydrofuran. They are therefore suitable for solution coating processes, especially when mixed with a crosslinking agent and subjected to curing conditions on a coated article.
The polyurethane copolymers described above contain reactive sites suitable for condensation with crosslinking agents. The reactive sites are predominantly hydroxyl groups located on the endcapping diol units. Crosslinking agents which can be used and which are especially useful in the preparation of surface coatings are the amino resins. The term "amino resins" is normally applied to the condensation products of formaldehyde and polyfunctional amides and amidines such as urea and melamine. The polyurethanes of the invention, comprising silicone diol blocks, when cured with melamine resins provide coating compositions with properties suitable for use in fusing members.
Melamine resins, such as Cymel-303, -380, and -385, from American Cyanamid, are used as crosslinking agents, generally constituting from 2 to 80 wt. %, preferably 10 to 40 wt. % of the final coating compositions.
The commercially available melamine resins differ principally in the number of methoxymethyl and hydroxymethyl substituents on the melamine amino groups and the degree of polymerization of the resins. The methoxymethyl and hydroxymethyl groups are both capable of acid catalyzed crosslinking with suitable nucleophiles, such as the hydroxyl terminal groups of the polyurethanes of the invention. Cymel-303 melamine resin, with a degree of polymerization of about 1.7, is composed predominantly of monomeric hexamethoxymethyl melamine crosslinked with hydroxyl groups in the presence of a strong acid catalyst. Cymel-380 melamine resin, with a degree of polymerization of about 2.6, contains both hydroxymethyl and methoxymethyl groups and a significant level of polymeric forms and reacts readily with hydroxyl groups in the presence of weak acid catalysts. Cymel-385 melamine resin, with a degree of polymerization of about 2.1, and a high proportion of hydroxymethyl groups is a very reactive curing agent under mild acidic conditions. By degree of polymerization is meant, the average number of triazine units per molecule.
In accordance with the present invention, the coated article can be a fusing member in the form of a roll, belt or any surface having a suitable configuration for fixing or fusing a thermoplastic toner image to a substrate such as a paper sheet.
When the fusing member is in the form of a belt which passes around a heated resilient or hard roller the belt comprises a substrate having a thin, hard outer coating. The backup pressure roller has an overcoat which is sufficiently compliant that, in combination with the coated belt, a compliant surface is presented to an image carrying receiver sheet.
A coated fusing belt of the invention comprises a continuous flexible substrate having a surface covering of a melamine-cured polyurethane of the invention. The coated fusing belt is fabricated by first preparing a solution to be used to form the coating. The solution comprises a solvent, for example, tetrahydrofuran, the polyurethane of choice, a melamine resin and a catalyst useful for crosslinking of the diol terminated polyurethane with the melamine resin's reactive groups. The solution contains, for example, 10-30 weight percent of the polyurethane and 2-10 weight percent of the melamine resin. The coating solution is applied to the belt substrate by well known techniques such as blade application or ring coating to give a 2-20 micron thick layer. Curing is accomplished in about 3 hrs: to 30 min., at temperatures from about 100� to 250� C., using an acid catalyst, such as trifluoroacetic acid, at about 0.001% to 1.0% with respect to total solids in the formulations. In a preferred embodiment curing is accomplished by heating at about 150�-160� C. for one hour.
The polyurethanes of the invention have the advantage that they are readily soluble in polar solvents used in solution coating techniques which allows thin surface coatings to be formed on fusing members. The melamine-cured, thermoset resins of the invention provide hard, tough, low surface energy coatings for such fusing members and have the advantages of excellent thermal stability, good releasing properties, resistance to cleaning solvents and swelling by release oils, and resistance to abrasion and delamination. Fusing members can be coated with a thin, hardened surface which resists wear and cracking and resists the tendency of toner to become embedded on the surface. Their superior resistance to swelling by release oils results in a reduction or elimination of step patterns in electrophotographic copies.
The polyurethane block copolymers and coating compositions of the invention having the properties described above can also be advantageously used as low surface energy addenda for toners and toner carrier particles.
Cured coatings of the invention, on stainless steel shims or copper foils at dry thickness of about 0.5 micron to 50 microns, have exhibited good adhesion to the substrates with excellent resistance against common organic solvents, such as acetone and toluene. In addition, when evaluated as image-fixing media, the coatings have shown desirable release properties with low or no off-settings under simulated fusing conditions, as indicated in examples hereinafter.
The following examples illustrate the preparations of silicone-diols, polyurethanes, as well as coating, curing and testing of metal strips under simulated image-fixing conditions.
Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (200 g), 1,3-bis(4-hydroxybutyl)-tetramethyldisiloxane (27.8 g) and tetramethylammonium siloxanolate (1 g) were mixed, heated and stirred gently under nitrogen in an oil bath at 100� C. overnight.
The reaction mixture was then further heated to 150� C. for 2 hours to deactivate the catalyst, and subsequently heated to 175� C. for 3 hours under vacuum to strip off the unreacted reagents. The residual material afforded the desired polydimethylsiloxane diol with 4-hydroxybutyl end groups, having a number-average molecular weight of about 3,500, yield=80-90%.
The polymeric silicone diol (20 g) as obtained from Example 1,2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propane diol (3.42 g) and tin octanoate (0.5 g) were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (80 ml) under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was heated to 60� C. then methylene bis(4-cyclohexyl isocyanate) (10 g) was added dropwise from an addition funnel during 2 hours. An additional 1 g of the diisocyanate was slowly added and stirring was continued at 60� C. until a build-up in viscosity was observed. Thesolution was cooled to ambient temperature and then poured into water to recover the polymer. After washing and drying in a vacuum oven overnight the desired polyurethane was obtained, yield=90%. The percent weight of polydimethylsiloxane blocks (PDMS) is approximately 60%.
By following essentially the same procedure as described for Example 2 and substituting other short-chain diols for 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propane diol thefollowing polyurethanes were obtained:
______________________________________ Weight %Example Short-Chain Diol PDMS Blocks______________________________________3 1,4-Butanediol 254 1,4-Butanediol 405 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-Propanediol 606 Bisphenol AF 407 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-Propanediol 40______________________________________
A polyurethane containing 60% by weight of PDMS units as obtained from Example 5 above was formulated with 20 weight percent of the melamine resin (Cymel 380 obtained from American Cyanamid) in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (0.5%). A 20 wt. % solution of the formulation in tetrahydrofuran was prepared and coated on 2 mil stainless steel shim. After drying, the coating was cured at 150� C. for 80 min. in air to produce a clear, flexible and tough film with good adhesion to the substrate.
By following essentially the same procedure as described for Example 8 and substituting the polymer of Example 7 for the polymer of Example 5, using 20 weight percent of Cymel 380 melamine resin as the crosslinking agent and curing at 160� C. for 60 min., a coating was obtained which hada high gloss, good flexibility, and good adhesion to the metal surface.
By following essentially the same procedure as described for Example 8 but increasing the weight percent of Cymel 380 melamine resin to 30% and curing at 160� C. for 60 min., a coating was obtained which had a high gloss, good flexibility, and good adhesion to the metal surface.
The coatings prepared from the polyurethanes of Examples 4, 5, 6 and 7 and Cymel 380 melamine resin were coated on stainless steel shims. The coatings were mounted on a test roller to evaluate their release properties under simulated fusing conditions. A branched polyester color image on laser print paper released from the Examples 4, 5, 6 and 7 coatings, while an uncoated stainless steel strip failed to release under the following fusing conditions:
Fusing Temperature: 280� F. (approx. 138� C.)
Release Temperature: 120� F. (approx. 49� C.)
Speed: one inch per sec. (approx. 2.5 cm per sec.)
Pressure: 0.5 psig. (approx. 351 Kg/m2)
Pressure Roller: 20 mils. Fluorinated Ethylenepropylene (FEP, supplied by Dupont) over 20 mils. Silicone Elastomer (Silastic J. supplied by Dow Corning Corp.)
Although the invention has been described in detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it should be appreciated that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Chemistry instructor Nicole Sandblom and David Feder, an associate professor in Physics and Astronomy, aren't taking a break from thinking about their teaching this summer. They're both hard at work redesigning elements of courses they'll be teaching in the 2014-15 academic year.
Sandblom and Feder are participating in a teaching development program offered by the Faculty of Science for the second time. C-LAB (Classroom Learn Assess Build) gives academic staff the opportunity to design, implement, and evaluate a teaching and learning research project with the goal of enhancing student learning.
The program began in June with an intensive two-day workshop for the 10 participants. Sandblom explains, "In the workshop, we learned about best practices in course design and started to figure out what our individual research projects would be. I'll be making changes to CHEM 209 — General Chemistry for Engineers, which can be a challenging course as students sometimes think it's too much like what they covered in high school.
"I want to incorporate more active learning techniques into the class and make the material more relevant by using examples that suit this particular group of students," Sandblom adds. "I taught the course last year and did a small survey of the students' knowledge about a few topics but this fall I would like to do a more structured assessment of prior knowledge so I can use the results to shape what is happening in the classroom. The bottom line is I don't want to just lecture and I don't want to cover all the content they already know from high school."
Feder is teaching the introductory physics course How Things Work (PHYS 271) for the first time this winter. What does he hope to gain from being in C-LAB? "My main focus is to learn how to effectively flip a classroom so that classtime is spent more on activities and discussions and less on students listening to me. I'd like to learn how I can initiate and sustain interesting group activities that promote learning."
Feder is also interested to find out how to measure learning and grade effectively in the "flipped" classroom as well as handle the range of student abilities. "Ultimately I'd like my students to be active participants in their learning to maximize the absorption and retention of the material, so I am keen to learn anything and everything that I can!"
Over the summer, C-LAB participants meet in smaller groups with program staff to report on the progress of their research projects as well as give and receive feedback on their ideas and discuss any challenges they may be encountering during the design phase.
This article is second in a series profiling C-LAB participants and their teaching research projects. Learn more about the C-LAB program.

Whether you're a newbie to managing Adwords struggling to get your head around the complexities to maximize your ROI or if you're a seasoned veteran looking for a software to save you some time on your PPC duties - Wordstream is a ripping solution. I was initially taken aback by the cost as the entry level plan is confronting if you don't fully appreciate what it can do for you. But after taking a trial and then signing up and embarking on some basic training as part of their onboarding process, it was clear to see that this was going to maximize my ROI and save me time while doing it. But if you're only managing a small budget then it's not going to be for you. Its 20-minute PPC work week feature runs you through a few simple steps to add negatives, find keywords to add, optimize your bids, optimize your ads, and pause duplicates if they exist. Even if you're only going to use this one feature to manage your PPC, then you've saved yourself a whole lot of time.andnbsp; But beyond that you can manage your campaigns as you would from Adwords and if you want to invest more time than the 20 minute work week, then you should definitely monitor the Query Stream feature to find even more negatives to refine your bidding.Wordstream also has landing page templates, and you can set your conversion goals and start utilizing their scheduled reports. An absolute must for anyone managing search-based Adwords campaigns.

Wordstream is a great organisation tool when it comes to managing a large number of accounts, but if you only run a few smaller accounts we think Wordstream is an unnecessary additional cost.More about WordStream

Analytics SEO is the best next generation SEO tool I've seen to date. While comparisons with Raven are to be expected the more you work with it (and I've only had limited time to play with its features) the more you realize it's a very different beast. I can definitely see this tool becoming many SEO agencies weapon of choice for campaign management and reporting, but I do feel it needs an expert operator to get the most out of it and the link management tool for me leaves something to be desired if we're going to class this as an 'all-in-one' tool.More about Analytics SEO

The human papillomavirus is the cause of cervical cancer in the great majority of cases. In a wider context, epidemiological studies have pointed to the fact that both HPV genital infection and cervical cancer strongly correlate with sexual behavior indicators. The diagnosis of gynecological cancer or of common premalignant lesions may have a deep impact on sexuality, affecting aspects of female identity. The diagnosis of genital infection by HPV negatively influenced the practices of anal and oral sex but led to a small increment in condom use.There was a reduction in sexual desire and excitement and in the quantity of orgasms. The participants carrying genital warts were the most sexually satisfied.

The Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL) family, which may number as many as 350 different enzymes, has an enormous impact on cellular regulation. CRL enzymes regulate cell biology by conjugating ubiquitin onto target proteins that are involved in a multitude of processes. In most cases this leads to degradation of the target, but in some cases CRL-dependent ubiquitination acts as a switch to activate or repress target function. The ubiquitin ligase activity of CRLs is controlled by cycles of attachment and removal of the ubiquitin-like protein Nedd8. Conjugation of Nedd8 onto the cullin subunit of CRLs promotes assembly of an intact CRL complex and switches on ubiquitin ligase activity. Conversely, removal of Nedd8 switches off ubiquitin ligase activity and initiates CRL disassembly. Continuous maintenance of CRL function in vivo requires the activities of both the Nedd8-conjugating and deconjugating enzymes, pointing to a critical role of complex dynamics in CRL function. Here, we review how the Nedd8 cycle controls CRL activity and how perturbations of this cycle can lead to disease.
