  • Patent number: 10041188
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing polymeric nanofibers utilizes a meltblown spinneret die having spin holes formed by grooves in plate(s) surface(s) of plate(s) where polymer exits at the plate(s) edge(s). The grooves are smaller than 0.005? wideƗ0.004? deep and have an L/D at least as large as 20:1. Flow rates of polymer through the apparatus are very low, on the order of 0.01 ghm or less. A meltblown fabric having fibers mostly less than 0.5 microns in diameter is produced.

  • Patent number: 10025948
    Abstract: A method for modifying access rights to electronically stored files linked in a draft electronic communication stored at a client device includes receiving, at a server from the client device, information relating to a plurality of recipients of the draft electronic communication, information relating to a sender of the draft electronic communication, and a first link, where the first link represents a first file. The method further includes determining, at the server, for the sender and for each recipient in the plurality of recipients, the access rights to the first file. The method further includes generating, at the server, a plurality of options for the sender to modify the access rights for the plurality of recipients, where the plurality of options is based on the access rights to the first file, and sending the plurality of options from the server to the client device.

  • Patent number: 9734174
    Abstract: A digital object provider creates an object, such as an offer, and associates container-specific handlers with the object so that the object can be associated with a specific container. An object management application manages receives and displays the object on a user computing device, along with a first user control option to associate the object with a container. When the user selects the first option, the object management application relies on the associated container-specific handlers to determine which containers are available for associating the object. The object management application provides the user with a second control option, from which the user selects one or more of the available containers with which to associate the object. Based on the user's selection, the object management application communicates the object to the selected containers, such as for storage in the container. The container receives the object and associates the object with the container.

  • Patent number: 9555419
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to films that are deposited with foamable inks or coatings. One purpose is to facilitate their separation for recycling purposes. The films are particularly useful as packaging labels. The inks/coatings are designed so that foaming is activated when the film is in the hot-wash stage of a typical recycle process. This provides added buoyancy to the film allowing it to float to the surface and be removed, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of the recycle process. A feature of the invention is that, prior to this hot wash, the inks/coatings remain substantially unfoamed and thereby do not negatively affect the aesthetics of labeled package. The foamable inks/coatings can be used with any type of film.

  • Patent number: 8951120
    Abstract: Systems and methods for calibration and biasing are described herein. In one example, a method for determining a playing height of a user is described. The method includes receiving an identification of a first corner of a display screen from the user by associating a first position of a tracked object with the first corner using image data from a capture device, receiving an identification of a second corner of the display screen from the user by associating a second position of the tracked object with the second corner using image data from the capture device, and triangulating between the first and second corners and the tracked object to define a range of movement made by the user. The tracked object is held by the user. The method further includes defining a height at which the tracked object is held by the user based on the range of movement.
