Patent number: 7502867Abstract: A method and system for selectively fully displaying additional content in a browser window, without requiring scrolling in more than one direction, based on an available display area. For example, additional advertising content is thus selectively displayed in an otherwise unused area of the browsing window to the right of a primary content of a Web page. The size of the available display area is automatically detected, and a determination is automatically made as to whether the additional content and primary content can both be fully displayed in the available display area under the scrolling constraint. If so, both the additional content and the primary content are displayed. Otherwise, only the primary content is displayed. The additional content is downloaded only when it can thus be included within the display area.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2005Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Syne Mitchell, G. Scott Tomlin, Lori Niva, Matthew J. Lindenburg

Patent number: 7488541Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Evonik Stockhausen, Inc.Inventors: Iqbal Ahmed, Angela M.
