  • Publication number: 20220014486
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for sharing of collaborative documents with users via instant messaging. In one aspect, a collaborative application is configured to display one or more user interfaces associated with a collaborative application that allows a user to engage in a real-time chat between and among one or more users. The collaborative application may also present one or more user interfaces that allow the user to select one or more references of collaborative documents stored at a remote document datastore, and then share these references of collaborative documents with one or more users in the real-time chat. In one example, these references may be represented in real-time chat as a user interface element that visually present the collaborative document title and associated collaborative document pictogram or icon.

  • Patent number: 9096780
    Abstract: A UV-curable pressure sensitive adhesive, a package having an adhesive-based reclosable fastener including the pressure sensitive adhesive, and a method of forming the package is described herein. The package includes a cavity and opposing panels configured to cover an opening to the cavity. The reclosable fastener is a UV-cured pressure sensitive adhesive comprised of one or more UV-curable acrylic oligomers, one or more tack control components, and, optionally, an elastomeric material. An adhesive component ratio defines an effective ratio made up of the weight percent of the UV-curable acrylic oligomer relative to the sum of the weight percents of the tack control component and elastomeric component, where the ratio provides a fastener with a first peel adhesion and subsequent peel adhesions effective to form the adhesive-based fastener into a reclosable fastener.

  • Patent number: 4893821
    Abstract: A game apparatus receives tokens pitched toward it and provides a score corresponding to the number and location of tokens it receives. The apparatus includes a box-like frame (20) that carries a horizontally disposed target board (22). The target board (22) includes a plurality of openings (38) formed therein. The openings (38) are arranged in a matrix of multiple rows and multiple columns and configured to receive the tokens (42) pitched into them. Beneath the target board (22) are a plurality of chutes (40), one chute associated with each opening (38). Within each chute (40) there is a token guide mechanism (54) for directing any coin-like tokens (42) received in that chute through a detection passage (60). A sensor (88) is mounted to each token guide mechanism (54) for detecting the presence of a token (42) within the detection passage (60), the presence of the token being indicated by a detection signal applied to the sensor output.
