  • Patent number: 12001442
    Abstract: Methods and systems for presenting contextually relevant push content when a user is passively engaged with an application are described herein. The system detects that the user is engaged with an application on a device and monitors the user's level of engagement with the application. If the system determines that the user is passively engaged, the system prepares to insert push content into the current output. The system identifies a region on the current output into which to insert push content, for example a region unoccupied by content or a particular object. The system identifies a context of the current output and selects a push content item based on the context of the current output. Then, the system inserts the push content item into the empty region on the current output.

  • Patent number: 5000979
    Abstract: A process for coating a substrate such as steel, that will hold an electrostatic charge, wherein a first coating of a thermosetting resin an amine cured opoxy resin of the family diglycidylether of bisphenol-A, is applied to the substrate electrostatically or by fluidized bed methods, a second layer of thermoplastic material is applied electrostatically to the coating of thermosetting material, the substrate is heated and the coatings are cured and bonded to the substrate and to each other at a temperature of from 355.degree. F. to 430.degree. F. for a period of about 6 to about 22 minutes, whereby the first and second coating materials become cross-linked and develop a high degree of impermeability.Coated substrates made according to the process can be used in the fabrication of items that must withstand ultraviolet or nuclear radiation plus chemical and corrosive attack including containers for toxic and hazardous materials, as well as low level radioactive materials.
