  • Publication number: 20240152976
    Abstract: A method includes receiving from a client device a request for content, and transmitting to the client device a first content item, a second content item, and a script for displaying the first and second content items within an information resource. The script includes instructions that cause the client device to (1) display the first content item within a content slot having a first size occupying a first region of the information resource, (2) identify a user interaction associated with the first content item, (3) expand, responsive to the user interaction associated with the first content item, the content slot from a first size to a second size, and (4) display, responsive to the user interaction and in the expanded content slot, the first content item and the second content item and an actionable object configured to reduce the content slot from the second size to the first size.

  • Patent number: 11922465
    Abstract: One or more servers can implement a method including generating an information resource comprising a content package including first content, metadata of a content extension, and a script for displaying the first content, and transmitting the information resource to a client device to cause the client device to: display the first content within an inline frame; identify an interaction with a user interface feature; transmit, responsive to identifying the interaction, a content extension request based on the metadata of the content extension; receive, responsive to the content extension request, a second content item; responsive to identifying the interaction, expand the inline frame from the first size to a second size; and display, in the expanded inline frame, the second content item, the second content item different from the first content item.

  • Publication number: 20190353232
    Abstract: A system and method for using electrical power and mechanical means to store and release potential energy via mechanical means to re-generate electrical power. The system functions by using externally generated electricity to power an electric motor, which by rotation through a transmission of gears, deforms a collection of springs between two plates, thereby storing electricity as potential energy, until the energy is released to a kinetic flywheel which in turn powers an electric power generator.
