  • Patent number: 9955236
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for providing supplemental content during a broadcast. The supplemental content is provided by the operation of an interactive application resident on a receiver. The interactive application is initiated through a trigger that is received during an otherwise standard broadcast. The trigger includes an interactive prompt that is to be displayed during a particular portion of the broadcast. The prompt including a means for enabling receipt of a user input. The user input may be a request for further information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4415649
    Abstract: Photosensitive flexographic element comprising(A) a flexible support,(B) a photosensitive elastomeric layer comprising (a) butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymer having a no. average molecular weight of 20,000 to 75,000 and optionally up to 15% by weight carboxyl content, (b) ethylenically unsaturated monomer and (c) free radical generating system, and between (A) and (B) an adhesive blend of at least two of the following polymers (1) polyester resin, condensation polymer of ethylene glycol, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid and azelaic acid, 0 to 78% by weight; (2) polyether polyurethane resin having a Brookfield viscosity of 100-1200, 0 to 78% by weight; (3) a polyamide as defined, 0 to 94% by weight; and (4) a polyamide as defined, 0 to 97% by weight, the weight percentages based on the total weight of resin in the adhesive composition. The element is particularly useful for the preparation of flexographic printing plates processed in aqueous or semiaqueous basic solutions.
