  • Patent number: 11919196
    Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a tape advancing through the manufacturing system and a station of the manufacturing system. The tape includes a first portion having grains of an inorganic material bound by an organic binder. The station of the manufacturing system receives the first portion of the tape and prepares the tape for sintering by chemically changing the organic binder and/or removing the organic binder from the first portion of the tape, leaving the grains of the inorganic material, to form a second portion of the tape and, at least in part, prepare the tape for sintering.

  • Publication number: 20130110944
    Abstract: A computer system for generating an electronic message for a user includes a memory and a processing circuit. The memory is configured to store a plurality of user identifiers, each user identifier having an electronic message address associated with the user. The processing circuit is configured to receive user interaction data relating to user interaction with first content on a web site during a web browsing session, identify a keyword associated with the content interacted with by the user, store the keyword in a memory device, select second content using the stored keyword, generate an electronic message comprising the second content, and transmit the electronic message over a network interface to the user during the web browsing session.

  • Publication number: 20110184813
    Abstract: A computer system for targeting offers to users of a web site comprises a memory and a processing circuit. The memory is configured to store a plurality of user attributes for a user and a plurality of rules defining when an offer is to be presented to a user. The processing circuit is configured to transmit a web page to a client device, to receive user interaction data from the client device representing interaction with the web page, to update the user attributes stored in memory in response to the received user interaction data, to determine whether the updated user attributes satisfy a rule, and based on whether the updated user attributes meet the rule to transmit an offer to the client device for display on the web page or a next web page.
