'''Summary of the patent applications from 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANY on November 9th, 2023'''

3M Innovative Properties Company has recently filed several patents for a range of innovative technologies. These patents cover various fields, including power distribution networks, product authentication systems, content display control, semi-supervised learning algorithms, optical films, netting for thermal interface articles, flame-retardant compositions, bonding pressure-sensitive adhesives, hardcoat layers, and phosphate-containing copolymers for medical applications.

In the power distribution network field, 3M has developed a sensored insulation plug for medium-voltage or high-voltage separable connectors. This plug not only insulates the connection element but also senses the elevated voltage, enhancing electrical shielding against external electrical fields.

For product authentication, 3M has created a system that uses image capture devices to create a video representation of a safe environment. This system can determine if a specific product is continuously present during a task, providing an indicator of its continuous presence for downstream systems.

In the field of content display control, 3M aims to measure the effectiveness of displayed content in modifying behavior. Their invention focuses on a specific temporal and spatial dimension to provide a more accurate assessment of how content influences behavior.

3M has also developed a method for training semi-supervised learning algorithms using annotated seed data and unlabeled time series process data. This method involves training the algorithm with annotated seed data, executing it with unlabeled data, and iteratively retraining it based on output evaluation data until convergence is reached.

In the optical film field, 3M has created a film with multiple layers that can control the transmission of light in different directions. This film has a higher average effective transmission when one major surface faces the light source, providing versatility in light control applications.

Notable applications of these technologies include power distribution networks, product authentication systems, behavior modification through content display, improved training of semi-supervised learning algorithms, light control in various applications, thermal interface articles, flame-retardant compositions, bonding pressure-sensitive adhesives, hardcoat layers for articles, and suppression of microbial virulence in medical compositions.
