Abstract: A remote control feature and system and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a programming interface is configured to communicate with a smart device, which is paired with at least one proximate amenity to enable remote control thereof. A user interface of the smart device is populated with a request for a telephone number that belongs to another smart device. Upon receiving the telephone number of the other smart device, the initial smart device sends a link to the telephone number via a text messaging infrastructure, such as a short message service (SMS)-enabled infrastructure. The link includes an activation, which is authorized, that establishes a pairing between the other smart device and the at least one proximate amenity, the pairing being authorized by way of the link.

Abstract: A polymeric composition in pellet form comprising a tacky hot melt composition, comprising a) from about 5% by weight to about 90% by weight of a thermoplastic polymer, b) from about 0% by weight to about 65% by weight of a tackifying resin, c) from about 0% to about 50% by weight of a plasticizer, d) up to about 2% by weight of an antioxidant, and a pelletizing aid, wherein the tacky hot melt composition has some minimum amount of tackifier or plasticizer and is a pressure sensitive adhesive having a storage modulus, G', at about 25.degree. C., of less than about 5.times.10.sup.6 dynes/cm.sup.2, and each pellet has a substantially tack-free surface.This invention further discloses a polymeric composition in pellet form suitable for molding articles. The composition comprises a tacky hot melt composition comprising at least one high molecular weight triblock copolymer of the general configuration A-B-A and a plasticizer and a pelletizing aid.
