Patent number: 11425558Abstract: Privacy centric feature analysis. A secure set of multiple mapped features is selected and provided to a mobile device. Each mapped feature maps a sharable feature to a matching criterion for an item of protected information and no combination of mapped features for a secure set are unique to an individual item of protected information. Privacy compliance instructions enable the mobile device to select a mapped feature from a received set of mapped features by identifying an item of protected information available to the mobile device which corresponds to a matching criterion found in the received set of mapped features. The sharable feature of the selected mapped feature is provided. Advantageously, the analysis system protects the privacy of the mobile device user because it does not require the mobile device to relay protected information for the selection of customized content or relevant advertisements.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2021Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Quantcast CorporationInventors: Konrad S. Feldman, Daniel Vogel Fernandez de Castro, Michael R. Blum

Patent number: 4501628Abstract: The invention is a method of reducing formaldehyde emission from wood-based composite boards bonded with aminoplast resins. A salt mixture comprising urea, or one of its analogs, a readily decomposible ammonia liberating compound and, alternatively, a resin catalyst is prepared in a finely granulated form. This is then added to the dried wood particles and blended, preferably prior to the addition of the adhesive binder resin. The salt mixture comprises 12-20 parts of the ammonia liberating compound, 65-88 parts of urea or its analog, and 0-15% of the catalyst. From 6-22.5% by weight of this mixture is used, based on resin solids. Formaldehyde evolution is reduced by 45-80% compared with untreated particleboard without adverse effect on physical properties or press time.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 1984Date of Patent: February 26, 1985Assignee: Weyerhaeuser CompanyInventors: Michael L.
