Publication number: 20230206307Abstract: An electronic marketplace provides a communication platform between consumer and sellers. Consumers create product wish lists and the wish lists are used as the basis for product advertising from the sellers. In addition, a consumer may invite friends to view the wish list and purchase particular products that are added to the wish list. Because wish lists are used as the basis for advertising, consumers can manage the types of product advertising that they see. Consumers have the ability to turn off individual product advertisements by removing that product from the wish list. Sellers utilize reverse bidding to compete for advertising space with each consumer and friend. One particularly advantageous feature of the embodiment is that wish lists serve as nameless and untraceable proxies for each member by keeping personal information removed from the sellers.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Applicant: SIMPLELIST CORPORATIONInventors: CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL KLEIN, WESLEY LONG, TRACY FELDMAN

Publication number: 20170366760Abstract: A system for performing closed captioning enables a caption prepared remotely by a captioner to be repositioned by someone other than the captioner, such as by a program originator. This capability is particularly useful when, for example, the program originator wishes to include a banner in a video but also wishes to avoid having a closed caption interfere with the banner. In one illustrative system, the program originator is a broadcast station that includes a conventional encoder and a broadcast station computer. In one arrangement, control data generated at the station computer is incorporated into the caption data by the station computer. In another arrangement, the control data is sent from the station computer to the captioner computer, which incorporates the control data into the caption data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2017Publication date: December 21, 2017Inventors: Umberto Lenzi, Wesley Long

Patent number: 4179781Abstract: An improved method for forming a heat exchanger core from a single elongated sheet of metal which is stamped to define longitudinally spaced corrugated sections and then is pleat folded between the stamped sections to define first and second groups of alternating fluid passages for indirect heat transfer between two fluids. During stamping of each corrugated section, edges of such section are clamped in place to define precise exterior dimensions and the corrugations are formed by stretching the metal to conform with a die. The stamped corrugations are shaped with triangular end reinforcements to control the location of the bends as the sheet is folded into the final shape of the core. Edges of the sections defining each passage in the first group are sealed together to prevent the fluids from leaking around such edges.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1977Date of Patent: December 25, 1979Assignee: Karen L. BeckmannInventor: Wesley A. Long

Patent number: 4065466Abstract: There is provided a fully integrated process for preparing a 2-dialkoxyphosphinylimino-1,3-dithietane in good overall yields with considerable savings in materials, time and labor involving a plurality of steps comprising the overall reaction of a dialkoxyphosphoryl chloride and an alkali metal- or ammonium thiocyanate to obtain a dialkoxyphosphinyl isothiocyanate, reacting the latter with 1.1 to 1.2 molar equivalents of an alkali mercaptan in the presence of a water and, finally, reacting resultant dialkoxyphosphinyldithiocarbamate with methylene bromide or methylene iodide in the presence or absence of a non-ionic surfactant under controlled pH conditions ranging from 5 to 8 to obtain resultant 2-dialkoxyphosphinylimino-1,3-dithietane. The latter finds utility for the control of root-knot nematode.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 1976Date of Patent: December 27, 1977Assignee: American Cyanamid CompanyInventors: David William Reger, Murray Garber, Don Wesley Long
