  • Patent number: 6038545
    Abstract: Digital multimedia presentations are assembled at a central location for stores. Start and end times are assigned. The digital multimedia presentations and the assigned start and end times are transmitted to and received at the stores. The received presentations are stored in digital multimedia players at the stores. Upon occurrence of an assigned start time, the associated digital multimedia presentation is automatically played in the store until the assigned end time. If a presentation is not available at a particular time, a generic default presentation is played. The presentations may be played at assigned start and end times until an expiration date, after which it is automatically deleted from the digital multimedia player. The digital multimedia presentations may be customized at the central location and/or at the stores. The present invention is particularly applicable for generating menu boards for an enterprise which includes multiple sites.

  • Patent number: 6013321
    Abstract: Methods useful in the manufacture of phosphate bonded ceramics. The invention is a method for impregnation of a green body to be fired to form a ceramic having the steps of: (a) forming a green body of unreacted ceramic materials; (b) determining the pore volume of the green body; (c) determining the amount of phosphoric acid required to react with the green body at a desired level; (d) making in impregnation solution of phosphoric acid and a carrier liquid having a ratio of phosphoric acid to carrier liquid equal to the ratio of (i) the volume of phosphoric acid determined for the reaction with the green body to (ii) the volume of carrier fluid equal to the pore volume of the green body minus the volume of the phosphoric acid determined for the reaction; (e) impregnating the green body with said solution of phosphoric acid and carrier fluid; and (f) firing the impregnated green body to form a phosphate bonded ceramic.
