Techniques for factoring one or more source graphs into a composite graph containing nodes representing analogous elements of the source graphs and a variability graph containing nodes representing differences in the source graphs. The composite graph is made by taking analogous input trees from the source graphs and traversing the trees from top to bottom looking for nodes in each tree at each level that are analogous to the nodes at that level in the other input trees. The sets of analogous nodes are found by first automatically correlating the nodes in the level currently being examined. Correlation may, for example, be based on similar values of a property of the nodes being correlated. Representations of the sets of correlated nodes are then displayed to a user, who indicates which sets of correlated nodes are in fact analogous. The user may also indicate that the nodes in a set of correlated nodes are not analogous or that nodes that were found by the automatic correlation not to be autonomous are in fact. The analogous nodes are allocated to a corresponding node at a corresponding level in the composite graph; the other nodes are allocated to a set of anomalous nodes. One application for the techniques is managing graphs which are models of catalogs of items.

The present invention relates to specific methods of producing cleated rubber-backed floor mats (such as dust control or rubber mats) through the utilization of the combination of a perforated coated woven fabric article and a cushioned platen liner between the article and the metal platen of an in-line dust control mat manufacturing machine. Such a procedure permits a more efficient manner of producing cleated anti-creep dust control mats than previously followed. In particular, the fabric article is in the form of a conveyor belt and is preferably constructed from Teflon(R)-coated woven fiberglass which will not adhere to the tacky rubber component of the target mat and can withstand the extremely high vulcanization temperatures and pressures required during the production of a dust control mat. The cushioned platen liner, which is preferably comprised of or coated with silicon, is utilized as a separator between the metal platen of the manufacturing machine, as well as cushion for the molten rubber as it is pressed through the conveyor belt perforations during vulcanization. Such a cushioned liner material substantially eliminates any problems due to the force of the metal platen against the molten rubber as it passes through the article perforations. Further, a method for utilizing the conveyor belt to produce foam rubber cleated anti-creep mats is disclosed. The cleats of these mats have a thicker skin than the rest of the mat, thereby imparting enough strength and structural integrity so that the foam rubber mats may withstand the daily rigors of use, combined with periodic launderings. The produced mat as well as the woven fabric article/cushioned platen liner combination are also encompassed within this invention.
