20110195164Foodstuff Holder, Blank for Same and Serving Method - A foodstuff holder has first and second sidewalls of triangular area facing one another in an aligned manner at positions spaced apart from one another. A rear wall interconnects the first and second sidewalls along a respective rear side of the aligned triangular areas, and a bottom wall interconnects the first and second sidewalls along a respective bottom side of the aligned triangular areas. The bottom wall and the bottom side are longer than the rear wall and the rear side respectively giving the holder a shape suitable for a triangular piece of pizza folded in half along its length. A lip formed on the bottom wall at an end thereof opposite the rear wall on a face of the bottom wall facing into the open space prevents leakage from the holder. The holder may be formed from a foldable blank and used in methods of food preparation or service.08-11-2011

20080319823Communication connectivity via context association, advertising sponsorship, and multiple contact databases - Communication connectivity via context association is provided by associating targeted subscriber contact information with a key at a subscriber database. At a data center, the keys are associated with unique characteristics or aliases (contexts) of the subscribers, thereby facilitating context searching. A caller initiates a connection to a subscriber by providing a subscriber's context. The context is located and associated key identified. The key is resolved in the subscriber database, and the call routed. Use of the key allows subscriber connectivity without revealing, to the caller or to the data center, sensitive contact information. Through a caller database, call initiation occurs by subscriber alias identification in a caller's communication device; thereby foregoing inclusion of sensitive contact information within the caller's communication device. Communication connectivity can be advertiser sponsored, with advertisements accompanying messages selected by matching profile information of targeted subscribers with participating advertiser provided profile information of desired targeted subscribers.12-25-2008
