Abstract: A process for forming a printed product that includes applying an energy-hardenable varnish to a sheet-like substrate at a first station; conveying the substrate to a hardening device where the outermost surface of the varnish is applied against a smooth polishing surface that smoothens it during its passage through the hardening device; hardening the layer of varnish typically by UV or EB curing; and applying metalized ink by a printing process to the smoothened surface of the layer of varnish.

Abstract: Updating web resources includes downloading an application to a client device, extracting web resources from the application to local files, and querying an external server for web resource updates specific to at least one operating condition of the client device.

Abstract: Updating web resources includes extracting web resources from an application to local files in response to an initial start-up of the application, downloading updates to the web resources to the local files from an external server; and running the application using contents from the local files.

Abstract: A system and method for forming indicia on a substrate. The system includes a feed system for feeding the substrate and a plurality of stations each operable to apply a processing step to the substrate. A first of the plurality of stations applies an energy curable ink to the substrate using a printing process. In some embodiments, this printing process is a gravure cylinder having indicia grooves formed on the gravure cylinder. The indicia grooves on the cylinder retain the energy curable ink until contact with the substrate whereby the energy curable ink is applied to the substrate. A curing unit is disposed downstream of the first of the plurality of stations. The curing unit receives the substrate and outputs an electron beam directed toward the energy curable ink to cure the energy curable ink and form a resultant energy curable layer upon the substrate.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for setting the user interface to best suit the display screen of an electronic device, for instance, a cellular phone or a tablet. The method comprises a software application for installation upon an electronic device. The software has a plurality of user-interface variants. A remote server is maintained, having a repository mapping a list of a plurality of user interface variants best suited to a plurality of predetermined electronic devices. The software reports the identity of the electronic device to the server, and queries the server for the user-interface variant best suited for the specific device. When an answer is returned, the user interface is set accordingly. In some embodiments, a user can manually select a preferred user interface variant. His choice is reported to a preference analysis module which communicates with the server, for use in regard to future queries.

Abstract: A method for content delivery includes receiving a request for delivery of a still image to a client terminal. A promotional image is selected to be delivered to the client terminal together with the still image. The still image and the promotional image are processed together so as to create an image sequence containing the still image and the promotional image in a moving picture format. Responsively to the request for delivery of the still image, the image sequence is delivered over a network for display in the moving picture format by the client terminal.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided, including sending, to a plurality of mobile communication devices, respective messages that include respective message contents that differ from one another and respective human-readable instructions to dial a telephone number common to the messages. A telephone call placed to the telephone number is received from one of the mobile communication devices. One of the messages is identified as most recently sent to the one of the mobile communication devices. A call destination is selected responsively to the most recently sent one of the messages, and the telephone call is routed to the selected call destination. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A process for determining the presence of either speech or one of a plurality of expected single-frequency signals on a line includes the steps of measuring the total signal energy on the line; measuring the signal energy present in each one of a plurality of selected separate frequency bands and identifying the two frequency bands having the highest signal energies; determining whether the highest signal energy exceeds a first selected threshold value; determining whether the highest signal energy exceeds the second highest signal energy by greater than a second selected threshold value; determining the amount of out-of-band signal energy; and determining whether the highest signal energy exceeds the out-of-band signal energy by greater than a third selected threshold value.
