  • Publication number: 20230348649
    Abstract: A composition of matter including a yield stress fluid including self-assembled copolymers each including at least one first type of polymer covalently bonded to at least one second type of polymer, wherein the first type of polymer (“first block”) is microphase separated from the second type of polymer (“second block”), at least one of the first block or the second block has its glass transition temperature less than or equal to 20° C., and the yield stress fluid has a critical yield stress at room temperature or below room temperature, without addition of a solvent for the first block or the second block. Examples of the self-assembled copolymers include a diblock copolymer or bottlebrush copolymer including the first block covalently bonded to the second block.

  • Patent number: 11780969
    Abstract: A composition of matter including a crosslinked bottlebrush polymer, wherein the crosslinker units in the composition of matter are soluble with the bottlebrush polymer. In one example, the crosslinked bottlebrush polymer is tailored as a single phase (solvent free) elastomer useful in a capacitive pressure sensing device. A novel embodiment of the present invention further includes demonstration of a universal approach to form solvent-free bottlebrush polymer networks by photo-crosslinking mixtures of well-defined bottlebrush precursors and bis-benzophenone-based additives. This method has been proven effective with a wide variety of different side-chain chemistries.

  • Publication number: 20190355016
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for advertising through a social network by immersion of participants in a sponsored mobile game. A game application for the sponsored game is developed on a server and deployed on consumer devices connected to the server. The game application, operating on a smart phone, utilizes onboard GPS and camera subsystems to carry out and facilitate the game functions. A dashboard is provided for designing the game around an advertising campaign. The game application is syndicated and shared through a consumer's social media community. The game is tracked by the server. Game information and rewards are delivered to participants during and after the game. In one aspect, the game involves a participant gathering digital permits prior to and during the game which are used to complete a tagging event with other participants. Rewards such as redeemable coupons are based on actions at sponsor locations.

  • Patent number: 10395548
    Abstract: A computer-based system for relational modality assessment with projective testing is disclosed herein. The system includes a computer operably associated with a local input device located proximate to the computer, a visual display device, and memory storing executable instructions. The computer is specially programmed to generate a relational inventory test comprising a plurality of questions pertaining to a plurality of diagnostic categories, and a projective sequence test comprising a plurality of artwork assignments and corresponding questionnaires pertaining to a plurality of role states. The computer is further specially programmed to generate a quantitative assessment from the testee's responses to the relational inventory test, and to generate a structured output report using the testee's artwork and responses to the questionnaires of the projective sequence test so that the testee is capable of self-diagnosing his or her psychological state.
