An operation management device includes a processor that executes a procedure including: for plural nodes that includes plural nodes operating as virtual computers on one or more computers and that plural nodes that have a dependency relationship, deriving group information indicating the plural nodes having the dependency relationship on a basis of communication information from when the inter-node communication; and based on location information of the respective plural nodes included in the derived group information, determining operation information indicating that plural nodes included in the group information operate on a single computer, or operation information indicating that the plural nodes included in the group information respectively operate on plural computers, for the plural nodes included in the group information.

Operation management device and method

Disclosed is a hyperbranched, dendritic, hydroxyl-functional polyester comprising an OH number greater than or equal to 180 mg KOH/g as measured via DIN 53240 and to clearcoat compositions comprising said polyesters. Also disclosed are processes for preparing the disclosed polyester, methods of making coated automotive substrates by applying the disclosed clearcoat compositions to automotive substrates, and to coated substrates made therefrom.

Clear paint compositions comprising hyperbranched, dendritic, hydroxyl-functional polyesters

Disclosed is a finish paint composition having a hydroxyl group containing resin (A) comprising a hydroxyl group value of 80 to 220 mgKOH/g, a glass transition temperature of &#x2212;50&#xb0; or above but below 0&#xb0; C., and 25 to 55 mass% of units of 4-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate origin, a hydroxyl group containing resin (B) with a hydroxyl group value of 80 to 220 mgKOH/g, and a glass transition temperature of 0 to 50&#xb0; C., and a crosslinking agent (C) comprising polyisocyanate compound having isocyanate groups, wherein the proportions of hydroxyl group containing resin (A) and hydroxyl group containing resin (B) are, as a ratio of solid fraction masses, from 95/5 to 50/50, and the proportion of isocyanate groups of the crosslinking agent (C) with respect to the hydroxyl groups in total of the hydroxyl group containing resin (A) and the hydroxyl group containing resin (B), as the NCO/OH mol ratio, is 0.5 to 1.5.

Paint compositions, a method of finish-painting and painted objects

The invention relates to two-component coating systems comprising as component (a) one or more polyisocyanates, as component (b) one or more oligomeric and/or polymeric compounds that are reactive with component (a), and as component (c) one or more phosphonates selected from the group of phosphonic diesters and diphosphonic diesters, where (i) component (b) comprises all oligomeric and/or polymeric compounds that are present in the two-component coating system and are reactive with component (a) and (ii) component (b) contains not more than 15% by weight, based on the total weight of component (b), of oligomeric and/or polymeric compounds which carry isocyanate-reactive amino groups. Additionally provided by the invention are a process for preparing the two-component coating systems, and the use of these coating systems as a clearcoat, more particularly for multicoat automobile finishing.
