  • Publication number: 20240048789
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing personalized media content by a personalized media content delivery system are disclosed. One method includes identifying a user of an information handling device associated with the personalized media content delivery system utilizing user identification data. A user profile that is associated with the identified user may then be accessed. The user profile may contain one or more content viewing preferences of the user. One or more articles of media content stored in a content database associated with the user's content viewing preferences may be determined. A personalized media stream containing these articles of media content may then be assembled and subsequently provided to the user on a digital channel of an application platform running on the information handling device.

  • Patent number: 8770427
    Abstract: There is described a rigid or semi-rigid container assembly 10 (110) for the packaging of food products. The container assembly 10 (110) comprises a support 20 (120) and a frame 30 (130). Support 20 (120) comprises an outwardly extending peripheral flange 21 (121) which is shaped to cooperate with frame 30 (130) so that the frame can be snap-fit closed onto support 20 (120). The rim 32 (132) of frame 30 (130) extends only over a fraction of flange 21 (121) leaving part 22 (122) of the flange and the central part (5, 105) of support 20 (120) uncovered.
