  • Patent number: 10341282
    Abstract: A digital magazine server presents content to a user that includes various content items. The user may provide a comment to the digital magazine server for association with a content item and may identify an additional user in the comment. To allow the user to more easily identify the additional user, the digital magazine server associates information identifying users who have performed actions with the content item in association with the content item. The digital magazine server compares information in a request to provide a comment to the information identifying the users who have performed actions with the content item and presents the user with information identifying users who have performed actions with the content item that at least partially matches a portion of the information in the request.

  • Patent number: 8172479
    Abstract: A composition that may be used to seal and strengthen the joints in an asphalt road surface and subsurface to prolong the useful life of the road is disclosed herein. The composition utilizes a polymer modified cationic maltene emulsion containing polymer modified maltene oils and resins, and surfactants/and wetting agents. The emulsion is applied to the longitudinal joints and other joints in the asphalt pavement surface. The emulsion reduces voids in the asphalt pavement and chemically improves the asphalt binder properties, thereby altering the modulus of elasticity of the asphalt binders so that the resistance of the pavement to tension is increased, and the water absorption of the pavement is reduced.
