| 20110055552 | PRIVATE, ACCOUNTABLE, AND PERSONALIZED INFORMATION DELIVERY IN A NETWORKED SYSTEM - A client receives a notification of a user interaction with an information item and creates a record describing this interaction. The client encrypts the record using an encryption key associated with a server. The encrypted record is then communicated to at least one proxy, which in turn forwards the encrypted record to a server. Upon receiving the encrypted record from the proxy, a server decrypts the record using a decryption key and analyzes the decrypted record to identify the information item and the type of user interaction. This information may be used individually or in aggregate for tracking user interests, billing advertisers or information item providers, and/or collecting anonymous information from users. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110252226 | PRESERVING USER PRIVACY IN RESPONSE TO USER INTERACTIONS - User privacy is preserved in response to user interactions with information items, such as advertisements, by controlling the behavior of a user's computer. Information items are associated with item response specifiers. Item response specifiers control the behaviors of the user's computer in response to user interactions with information items. Item response specifiers may be communicated to the user's computer with the associated information items or be retrieved separately by the user's computer from an information item broker or trusted third party. Item response specifiers may be cryptographically signed to ensure their integrity. Following a user interaction with an information item, the user's computer refers to the item response specifier to determine an appropriate privacy-preserving post-interaction behavior. Examples of privacy-preserving behavior include a silent privacy-preserving behavior, a proxied interaction privacy-preserving behavior, a partial proxied interaction privacy-preserving behavior, a delayed handoff privacy-preserving behavior, and a direct to provider privacy-preserving behavior. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20120088424 | DIMENSIONALLY STABLE NONWOVEN FIBROUS WEBS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - Dimensionally stable nonwoven fibrous webs include a multiplicity of continuous fibers formed from one or more thermoplastic polyesters and polypropylene in an amount greater than 0% and no more than 10% by weight of the web. The webs have at least one dimension which decreases by no greater than 10% in the plane of the web when heated to a temperature above a glass transition temperature of the fibers. When the thermoplastic polyester is selected to include aliphatic and aromatic polyesters, a spunbond process may be used to produce substantially continuous fibers that exhibit molecular orientation. When the thermoplastic polyester is selected from aliphatic polyesters, a meltblown process may be used to produce discontinuous fibers that do not exhibit molecular orientation. The webs may be used as articles for filtration, sound absorption, thermal insulation, surface cleaning, cellular growth support, drug delivery, personal hygiene, medical apparel, or wound dressing. | 04-12-2012 |

| 20120126829 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING COMPONENTS USING A MICROWAVE EMITTER - A method for measuring a proximity of a component with respect to a microwave emitter is provided. The method comprises transmitting at least one microwave signal to the microwave emitter. At least one electromagnetic field is generated by the microwave emitter from the microwave signal. Moreover, the method comprises inducing a loading to the microwave emitter by an interaction between the component and the electromagnetic field, wherein at least one detuned loading signal representative of the loading is reflected within a data conduit from the microwave emitter. The detuned loading signal is received by at least one signal processing device. The signal processing device then measures the proximity of the component with respect to the microwave emitter based on the loading signal. An electrical output is generated by the signal processing device. | 05-24-2012 |

| 20110266717 | Microwave-Assisted Setting of Shaped Ceramic/Foam Bodies - The invention relates to a method for the production of shaped foam bodies, comprising: provision of a composition having foam particles and binder; introduction of the composition into a space which is bounded on at least one side by a pressing surface; and exertion of pressure onto the composition by means of the pressing surface. The method further comprises irradiation of microwaves through the pressing surface into the composition, while pressure is being exerted onto the composition. The invention furthermore relates to a device for carrying out the method according to the invention, having: at least one pressing surface and a counterbearing surface lying opposite, between which a space extends which is adapted to receive a composition of foam particles and binder. The pressing surface and counterbearing surface adjoin the space directly. The device further comprises at least one stiff layer which locally or entirely is essentially transparent for microwaves and has a surface facing toward the space, which is connected to the pressing surface in such a way as to transmit force. The device also comprises a microwave radiator unit which is arranged on a side of the stiff layer remote from the space and is aligned relative to the space in order to irradiate microwaves into the space through the stiff layer. Lastly, the invention relates to a microwave radiator unit for the heat treatment of foam compositions. The microwave radiator unit comprises a multiplicity of microwave antennas which are arranged in a plane array and at least two of which are connected through a distributor device to a common microwave signal source, which feeds the at least two antennas. | 11-03-2011 |
