Abstract: Systems and methods for prefetching items of content associated with commercial websites, comprising receiving a request from a user device for data for a first interface, and in response, identifying items of content that are to be included in one or more second interfaces that are accessible by user-selectable links in the first interface. Data for the first interface and the items of content are then transmitted to the user device. After the transmission, a second request is received from the user device for a particular second interface, based on a selection of a particular user-selectable link in the first interface. In response, data corresponding to the particular second interface that does not include the items of content included in the particular second interface is transmitted to the user device to enable output of the second interface with its respective items of content.

Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-fetching data over a network are described. In some implementations, a first request for content to be displayed in a first interface output at a user device is received, and in response to the first request, content to be output in the first interface and content to be output in a second interface accessible from the first interface are identified. The content to be output in the first and second interfaces are transmitted to the user device and the content to be output at the second interface is stored in a cache of the user device. A second request is then received for content to be displayed in the second interface, and in response particular content that does not include the already transmitted content and that is to be output at the second interface is identified and transmitted to the user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods that provide for the pre-fetching of data, including receiving user input data from a user device, and in response, identifying a first set of objects for enabling an application operating on the user device to render a first interface in a sequence of interfaces, and determining a second set of objects for enabling the application to render a second interface in the sequence of interfaces. The first set of objects are transmitted to the user device, as well as instructions for directing the user device to render the first interface in the application using the first set of objects, and receive and store the second set of objects in an information repository associated with the user device. In response to a user input, the second interface is rendered in the application using the second set of objects.

In an example embodiment, computer-implemented method of pre-fetching in a network comprises receiving a request from a user device for a first network-accessible data item in the plurality of network-accessible data items; transmitting the first network-accessible data item to the user device; identifying a second network-accessible data item in the plurality of network-accessible data items; and transmitting the second network-accessible data item to the user device, the second network-accessible data item being transmitted before receiving a request for the second network-accessible data item from the user device. Pre-fetch logic may be embedded in the first network-accessible data item.

Abstract: A textured release sheet includes a substrate, which has been electron beam treated, including a top side and a bottom side. A matte surface is formed on the bottom side thereof, wherein the matte surface of the surfacing material is a coating of an radiation curable material applied to the bottom side of the substrate. The coating is an UV curable acrylate mixture applied to the substrate, wherein the UV curable acrylate mixture is irradiated with UV-radiation via an excimer laser emitter to produce a UV-irradiated layer wherein the UV curable acrylate mixture is only crosslinked on the surface thereof, which produces a matting surface through the effects of a micro-convolution.

Abstract: A system may receive a first message transmitted over a network from a first device. A first invitation to join a text-based communication channel may be transmitted to the first device in response to the first message. A second invitation may be transmitted to a second device to join the text-based communication channel with the server configured to retain context of the text-based communication channel. The system may receive a second message transmitted from the second device and may transmit a third invitation to the first device to join the text-based communication channel in response to the second message.
