Abstract: Cold thermal chemical vapor deposition coatings, articles, and processes are disclosed. Specifically, a cold thermal chemical vapor deposition process includes positioning an article, heating a precursor gas to at least a decomposition temperature of the precursor gas to produce a deposition gas, introducing the deposition gas to a coating vessel, and depositing a coating from the deposition gas onto the article within the coating vessel. The article remains at a temperature below the decomposition temperature throughout the introducing and depositing of the deposition gas. The coating on the article has a gradient formed by the depositing of the coating having no flow for a period of time. The coated article includes a thermally-sensitive substrate (the thermally-sensitive substrate capable of being modified by a temperature of 300 degrees Celsius) and a coating the thermally-sensitive substrate.

Abstract: A system and method for auctioning multiple advertising units assembled as one or more advertising packages are provided. The method includes the steps of identifying at least one group of potential purchasers of at least one advertising package, notifying one or more potential purchasers about the advertising packages, receiving a bid from a potential purchaser for the advertising packages and indicating one or more winning bids.

Abstract: A unit for separating waste and valuable materials with several mutually connected waste containers, which are equipped with identifying features labeling these waste containers for the purpose of assigning a particular waste or recyclable fraction to them. The unit for separating waste and valuable materials is constructed so as to be adaptable in modular fashion.
