  • Patent number: 9317870
    Abstract: A non-transitory processor readable medium storing processor executable instructions is described. The processor executable instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to: receive application data indicative of text from a user device via a communications network; analyze the application data for one or more indicator being at least a portion of the text entered into the application and having one or more meaning; retrieve one or more selected ideograph from a database populated with ideographs received from and associated with one or more advertisers, the one or more selected ideograph being indicative of a graphical representation of the one or more meanings of the one or more indicator; transmit the one or more selected ideograph to the user device via the communications network; and charge a fee to at least one advertiser associated with the one or more selected ideograph.

  • Publication number: 20150127753
    Abstract: A non-transitory processor readable medium is described having processor executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to monitor application data from a user device via a communications network, analyze the application data for one or more indicator, retrieved one or more ideograph indicative of a graphical representation of one or more meaning of the one or more indicator, and transmit the one or more ideograph to the user device via a communications network. The application data is indicative of text entered into an application by a user via the user device. The one or more indicator is at least a portion of the text entered into the application and has one or more meaning.

  • Patent number: 5494180
    Abstract: A hybrid resistance card (R-Card) is manufactured using a two-step process wherein an electrically conductive ink layer and an electrically resistive ink layer are printed onto a surface, which may be either a substrate or the part on which the R-Card is to be used. The conductive ink layer is selectively applied in a pattern of shapes to electrically short out portions of the resistive ink layer, thereby permitting the R-Card to have a predetermined resistive taper across its width according to a desired resistivity curve. The resistive ink layer comprises grid-like lines bordering and separating the conductive shapes. The resistive taper is substantially continuous along the length of the R-Card, at least linearly, though if the card is designed to cover an entire part, it is substantially continuous along a plurality of directions on the card, with the tapers being designed to round into one another.

  • Patent number: 5369936
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for producing a flexible package having a banner or coupon adhered thereto attach a continuous banner stock to a continuous web of packaging film. The united web is processed through a form, fill and seal apparatus wherein the web is fed to a vertical form-fill tube, formed into a tubular package preform, and sealed as the preform exits the tube.
