Abstract: Digital media distribution frequency management systems and methods are disclosed for reducing digital media across digital networks and platforms. A set of impression identifiers (IDs) is determined for a digital media asset as displayed on graphic user interfaces (GUIs) of open web digital channel(s). An identifier of a user is determined as well as an impression count of the user based on the set of impression IDs and an open web ID of the user. An impression frequency message is pushed to an application programming interface (API) of an online based digital media content distribution platform. The impression frequency message may comprise the identifier of the user. The online based digital media content distribution platform is configured to suppress or allow the digital media asset to be displayed to the user on a GUI of the online based digital media content distribution platform based on the impression frequency message.
Abstract: The present invention relates to cleaning compositions including variants of an alpha-amylase and methods of treating surfaces such as textiles with aqueous liquor including such compositions, especially at low temperatures.
Abstract: Touch-free, voice-assistant, and/or tracking systems and methods are described for automating inventory generation and tracking of childcare products. In various aspects, the touch-free, voice-assistant, and/or tracking systems and methods comprise receiving, by one or more processors, one or more name values corresponding to one or more children of a childcare program associated with at least one physical childcare location. A childcare product inventory, comprising a childcare product of at least one product type, is generated based on a count of the one or more name values. Child event data is received comprising information related to use of the childcare product. The child event data is based on audible input of a user as received via a voice command interface of a voice-assistant application (app) as implemented on a voice assistance device. The childcare product inventory may be updated based on the child event data.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cosmetic composition comprising: (a) one or more esters of sucrose and fatty acids, wherein the fatty acids are selected from those having from about 12 to about 24 carbon atoms, and wherein the sucrose esters are selected from the group consisting of mono-ester, di-ester, tri-ester, tetra-ester, and mixtures thereof; and (b) one or more solvents selected from those having Hildebrand Solubility Parameter of from about 23 to about 31.5 (J/cm3)1/2 and Polar component of Hansen Solubility Parameter of from about 4.5 to about 10.5 (J/cm3)1/2. The cosmetic compositions of the present invention dissolve the sucrose esters in the cosmetic compositions, even when the sucrose esters are contained at higher levels in the compositions and/or even when the sucrose esters are contained in an aqueous phase of the cosmetic composition.
