Publication number: 20130054686Abstract: The invention relates to a new methodology for modifying the appearance of an existing work without modifying the source code of the existing work even by a viewer or listener who did not create the existing work. This capability enables viewers to annotate or communicate information about existing works in ways that were not possible before. For example a webpage from a restaurant (an existing work) could be annotated with notes describing which entre was my favorite and then this new view of the restaurant's webpage could be shared with a friend; my friend would then see the webpage including notes identifying my favorite entre on their client device. This capability provides an entirely new dimension to collaboration and training across computer networks and across the internet.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2011Publication date: February 28, 2013Inventors: Mark Hassman, Derek Raymond Garnier, Michael Paul Cancilla

Patent number: 7662256Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to paper products having great softness and strength and methods of making the paper products. The paper products are formed from one or more paper webs that can be made according to various methods. In one embodiment, the paper web is an uncreped through-air dried web. According to the present invention, at least one side of the paper web is treated with a bonding material according to a preselected pattern and creped from a creping surface. Through the process, a two-sided tissue web is formed having a smooth side and a textured side.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2008Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Inventors: Michael Alan Hermans, Mike T.

According to the present invention, at least one side of the paper web is treated with a bonding material according to a preselected pattern and creped from a creping surface. Through the process, a two-sided tissue web is formed having a smooth side and a textured side. In one embodiment, tissue webs made according to the present invention may also be splittable, allowing the web to be pulled apart in two substantially continuous webs with distinctly different properties.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2003Date of Patent: December 4, 2007Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Michael Alan Hermans, Mike T.

Publication number: 20070051484Abstract: Absorbent paper products, such as paper towels, are disclosed which have a combination of high absorbent capacity and a moderate to low rate of absorbency for hand protection. These properties can be produced, for example, using a throughdried basesheet, such as an uncreped throughdried sheet, in which at least one surface of which has been printed with a patterned moisture barrier coating and creped. The presence of the moisture barrier coating on the surface retards the absorbent rate for that side of the sheet while allowing a significant amount of liquid to pass through to the center of the sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2006Publication date: March 8, 2007Inventors: Michael Hermans, Richard Behm, Mike Goulet, Mark Hassman, Jeffrey Johnson, Jeffrey Lindsay, Rebecca Mohr, Maurizio Tirimacco

Publication number: 20060124261Abstract: An improved paper and the process of making an improved paper web are disclosed. The improved paper is characterized as having two regions; one is a network (or open grid) region and the other is a plurality of domes. At least a portion of either region of the paper web contains a bonding material that penetrates at least partially through the paper's thickness.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2005Publication date: June 15, 2006Inventors: Jeffrey Lindsay, Michael Hermans, Mike Goulet, Mark Hassman, Maurizio Tirimacco, Jeffrey Johnson, Rebecca Mohr
