Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for avoiding contamination of a printing plate given surface-covering coating of a dust-forming recording medium (e.g. an uncoated paper) with a coating substance (e.g. a primer) in an inkjet printing operation. The method can include feeding the recording medium at a feed velocity that is greater than 20 meters per minute; continuously printing of the coating substance onto the recording medium by at least one print head including a plurality of print nozzles, the coating substance being printed at a constant, predetermined applied quantity per area. A nip between the print head and the recording medium is provided such that a fluid-dynamic eddy is created between the recording medium and the print head and/or the printing plate. The disclosure also related to a printing system that is configured to implement the method.

Abstract: In a method for preventing or reducing air vortex formation between a print plate and a recording medium upon printing to the recording medium with a coating substance (e.g. primer), the recording medium is provided at a feed velocity of at least 20 meters per minute, and a plurality of print nozzles of a print head are alternately activated to print the coating substance on recording medium to cover a surface of the recording medium with the coating substance.

Abstract: Methods for displaying advertisements on a computer are provided. One method includes: detecting keyword information from a source module with a data processor wherein the keyword information is visible to a user on a display component of the computer; comparing the keyword information to a keyword database wherein the keyword database associates the keyword information with one or more keywords; comparing the one or more keywords to an advertisement database wherein the advertisement database associates the one or more keywords with one or more advertisements; and displaying the one or more advertisement on the display component through a sidebar module, wherein the sidebar module is viewable by the user independently of the visibility of the source module. The advertisements may be ranked according to perceived user benefit and/or social-media popularity. Associated computer program products and advertisement display systems are also provided.

Abstract: The invention is a method for delivering targeted web advertising to internet users via a network capable of rating, annotating, linking, meta-tagging and otherwise annotating any definable data accessible through a global computer network. The system is comprised of a graphical user interface (GUI), a database, and software to connect the two. The system stores and caches data and related annotations in a database. The software searches and organizes the database inputs. The GUI displays the result to the user. The user, through a web-browser or other means, would access a definable set of internet data (e.g., a web page) and through the proposed system be able to view ratings of that data as well as other relevant inputs from other users.
