  • Publication number: 20220229933
    Abstract: A system for simplifying and controlling digital participation is disclosed. The system is configured to simplify digital participation and allow the consumer to control their participation in the digital landscape. The system comprises a publishing tool, an acquisition tool, an administration tool, and an execution tool. The system is configured to perform the simplifying and controlling operation for digital participation. The system simplifies the development process by leveraging a single and extremely secure operation model. The system allows a single model for fine-grained, conditional delegation to all representatives (doctor, lawyer, car company, accounting firm, etc.) and also allows the consumer to track their delegates' usage of their accounts.

  • Patent number: 6494255
    Abstract: A modified air heater gas inlet plenum for a tubular air heater which permits retrofit installation of additional flue gas environmental treatment equipment. A divider plate is located within the inlet plenum to subdivide it into first and second flue gas passages. The first flue gas passage created by the divider plate merely conveys the hot flue gas through the inlet plenum and into flues which convey the flue gas to the new equipment. Return flues convey the flue gas back to the second flue gas passage created in the inlet plenum which, in turn, conveys the flue gas into the tubular air heater heat exchanger tubes. By taking advantage of the large size of a conventional air heater gas inlet plenum, the first and second flue gas passages created by the divider plate still have sufficient cross sectional area so that acceptable flue gas velocities are preserved.

  • Patent number: 5968624
    Abstract: A multi-layered signage-lettering material containing a release or casting sheet layer with a pigmented display layer deposited on one side of the release sheet is described. The pigmented display layer is a coalesced film of at least one water-borne polymer of for example water-borne polyurethanes, water-borne acrylics, and mixtures thereof. Optionally, the coalesced film may be applied in multiple coats. The multi-layered material also includes an adhesive layer covering the surface of the pigmented display layer opposite the release sheet, and optionally, a removable protective layer covering the surface of the adhesive layer opposite the pigmented display layer. A method of fabricating the multi-layered signage-lettering material described above also is described. The method includes first depositing the pigmented display layer on the release or casting sheet.

  • Patent number: 5702790
    Abstract: A water-evaporation process for making thin one-color plastic lettering, as used in sets for computer-cutting and application in spaced array. Water-based plastics, particularly urethanes and acrylics are used instead of polyvinyl chloride. These more flexible films are opaque, resulting from use of large amounts of water-dispersed pigments. After spreading, the water is evaporated, causing the spread mixture to coalesce into a thin tough well-pigmented opaque film. Films less than two mils thick may be formed, free from migratory plasticizers which might cause pigments to migrate or to damage adjacent the flanking layers of adhesives and release films. The water evaporation process, at only about 220.degree. F., requires minimal workplace or environmental safeguards compared to the use of solvent containing systems.
