20140046029 | SOLID SUPPORT WITH A GRAFTED CHAIN - Articles that contain a solid support with a grafted chain extending from the solid support, methods of making these articles, and various uses of the articles are described. More specifically, the grafted chain has a functional group that can react with or interact with target compound. Alternatively, the functional group on the grafted chain can react with a modifying agent to provide another group that can react with or interact with the target compound. The grafted chains are attached to the solid support through a ring-opened azlactone group. The articles can be used to purify the target compound or to separate the target compound from other molecules in a sample. | 02-13-2014 |
20140193875 | POROUS POLYMERIC RESINS - Porous polymeric resins, reaction mixtures and methods that can be used to prepare the porous polymeric resins, and uses of the porous polymeric resin are described. More specifically, the polymeric resins typically have a hierarchical porous structure plus reactive groups that can be used to interact with or react with a variety of different target compounds. The reactive groups can be selected from an acidic group or a salt thereof, an amino group or salt thereof, a hydroxyl group, an azlactone group, a glycidyl group, or a combination thereof. | 07-10-2014 |

20140358727 | PROVIDING ENHANCED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES - Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing enhanced customer experiences are presented. In some embodiments, a computing device may receive information about a mobile device detected within a predetermined distance of a retail location. Subsequently, the computing device may determine, based on the received information, an identity of a customer using the mobile device. The computing device also may determine one or more needs of the customer based on the identity of the customer. Thereafter, the computing device may generate routing information for the customer based on the identity of the customer and the one or more determined needs of the customer. In some instances, determining the one or more needs of the customer may include predicting at least one need of the customer based on at least one of customer product information, customer presence information, customer history information, customer account information, and customer profile information. | 12-04-2014 |

20090277576 | APPARATUS AND DIE FOR WELDING PLASTIC AND A METHOD OF USE THEREOF - An apparatus for welding a first plastic sheet to a second plastic sheet is provided. The apparatus includes an elongate die including a channel extending longitudinally along the die's welding face. In combination with a plate and a high frequency alternating current generator, the die and the plate are operable to compress the first and second plastic sheets in an overlapping arrangement and generate a high frequency alternating electromagnetic field between the die and the plate and weld the first and second plastic sheets to one another. The depth of the die channel prevents the formation of an electromagnetic field that is strong enough to weld the first and second plastic sheets in an area between the die channel and the plate. A die for use in such an apparatus and a method of use thereof are further provided. | 11-12-2009 |
