  • Patent number: 8131591
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide ways to update and permit third-party advertising content of a webpage developed using Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (“AJAX”) techniques. An illustrative method includes registering a set of possible triggering events that can invoke an advertisement-update process, registering advertisement containers (portions of the webpage that can present the advertisements), receiving an indication that a triggering event has occurred, identifying (in some cases) advertisement containers whose advertisement content is to be updated, accessing third-party advertisement data that is stored outside of the domain of the webpage to receive the fresh advertising content, and presenting the fresh advertising content in the one or more advertisement containers.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7488541
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an aqueous superabsorbent polymer paste comprising from about 1 to about 5 wt % of superabsorbent particles and from about 95 to about 99 wt % of an aqueous water-soluble solution having from about 0.5 to about 5%, preferably from about 1 to about 3% solid level. The present invention is also directed to a coated substrate comprising a substrate material and an aqueous superabsorbent polymer paste comprising a blend of i) from about 1 to about 5 wt % of superabsorbent particles and ii) from about 95 to about 99 wt % of an aqueous water-soluble solution. The present invention is also directed to a method for reducing the loss of circulation fluids into flow passages of a subterranean formation during well drilling, completion or work over operations, by using the aqueous superabsorbent polymer paste of the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20080282290
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable media are presented for displaying an interactive viewer associated with an advertisement within a user interface. In one aspect, the system includes an advertisement manager for providing advertisements in response to request from clients. The system further includes a rendering component for determining if an advertisement has an associated interactive viewer, determining features associated with the advertisement, and displaying the interactive viewer including the determined features. Additionally, the system includes an event tracking module for monitoring a user's interaction with the interactive viewer, and reporting feedback regarding the interaction to the advertisement manager.
