  • Patent number: 11958278
    Abstract: Label assemblies and methods of manufacturing label assemblies are described. In an aspect, a label assembly includes a post-consumer waste (PCW) paper layer and a thermal coating applied at a side of the post-consumer waste paper layer. The post-consumer waste paper layer may have a fiber density that allows the thermal coating to sit on the side of the post-consumer waste paper layer while reducing absorption of the thermal coating within the post-consumer waste paper layer.

  • Patent number: 11935533
    Abstract: Techniques are described for maintaining contextual data to support content-related actions. In an example, a system stories second content at a source. The source is associated with first content. The system sends, to a device, an object that indicates the first content. From the device at a first time, the system receives first data indicating a first request for the second content and including source information that indicates the source. From the device at a second time, the system receives second data indicating a second request for the second content, the second data including the source information, the first data and the second data received at a frequency indicated by the object. The system determines that the requests are associated with the first content based on the source information included in the received data, and stores third data indicating a presentation of the first content by the device.

  • Publication number: 20140117658
    Abstract: An assembly of adhesive sheets of paper has two or more sheets, each having an image or data on the first side and a repositionable adhesive on the reverse side, the sheets assembled such that the front of one page contacts the reverse of another, the adhesive holding the assembly together. The adhesive may cover only a portion or all of the reverse side of each sheet. The assembly further may have a backer sheet of which the reverse is covered in adhesive and has a liner to protect the adhesive until use. A process for making the assembly is also disclosed, wherein the sheets are printed with different images and positioned on a printing press which rolls the repositionable adhesive on the reverse of the sheets before assembling the sheets and inserting a backer sheet at chosen intervals.
