  • Patent number: 11604859
    Abstract: A method, system and computing device for incorporating marketing into a user authentication enables valuable marketing information to be received from or provided to users, in an authentication context where the users are likely to be attentive and focused. Thus, marketing information is likely to be thoroughly reviewed by the users, easily recalled by the users at a later time, and user profile data collected from the users is likely to be accurate. The method includes presenting an authentication challenge to a user of a computing device, the authentication challenge including a number of challenge elements; receiving a response to the authentication challenge from the user; and presenting a non-authentication marketing activity to the user, the non-authentication marketing activity including a number of activity elements, and where the activity elements correspond with the challenge elements.

  • Patent number: 11595349
    Abstract: A DNS resolution request for a hostname of a CDN is received. An edge server of the CDN may be identified, which may be associated with a subnet. The subnet is used to generate a response IP address, where the remaining bits of the response IP address may be used to store requestor information (e.g., a requestor IP address). When a client computing device uses the response IP address to access the edge server, requestor information is extracted and associated with client computing device information (e.g., an IP address and/or location, etc.) in an association record. Association records may be used to determine predicted characteristics for devices served by a requestor. When the authoritative DNS server resolves a request from the requestor, such predicted characteristics may be used rather than relying solely on information about a requestor. Thus, an edge server proximate to the predicted location may be returned instead.

  • Publication number: 20230024745
    Abstract: An esterification process that uses an acetic acid composition from a wood acetylation process as a reactant. Even though the acetic acid composition contains impurities, such as ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, acetaldehyde, acetone, terpenes and/or terpenes derivatives, the impurities do not adversely affect the quality of the ether-ester products. This process can be economically advantageous by using cheaper acetic acid—one sourced directly from a wood acetylation process.

  • Publication number: 20230026904
    Abstract: A system (20) and method for printing on clear polymeric film web (24) are disclosed. A first stationary inkjet print unit (44, 60, 70, 82) has first ejection nozzles that span a width of the clear polymeric film web and a second stationary inkjet print unit (44, 60, 70, 82) has second ejection nozzles that span the width of the clear polymeric film web. A web transport conveys the clear polymeric film web past the stationary inkjet print units. First and second print controllers operate the first and second and stationary inkjet print units to deposit drops of a first and a second material on the clear polymeric film web at a first and a second resolution, respectively. In addition, dimensions and position of a page element to be printed on the clear polymeric film web are adjusted to compensate for distortion that may occur to the printed page element due to shrinking of the clear polymeric film web.
