Abstract:
A system for providing content to client computing devices. The system is configured to receive an audio feed that includes audio segments. Each audio segment includes either regular audio content or preemptory audio content. The system may determine whether each audio segment includes regular or preemptory audio content. For each audio segment determined to include preemptory audio content, the system may direct the client computing devices to preempt, with the preemptory audio content, any current content being presented by the client computing devices. For each audio segment determined to include regular audio content, the system may identify the regular audio content, match multimedia video content with the identified regular audio content, and direct the matched multimedia video content to the client computing devices for presentation thereby to users.
Abstract:
A package comprises two or more toothbrushes which are dated to indicate a service period such as by designating a starting date and/or an ending date, or some other date in the service period. The service periods are sequential and add up, ideally, to one complete year so that a package, purchased at any time during a year, provides toothbrushes that can be used for twelve sequential months. Providing sequentially dated toothbrushes provides an indication to the user to discard used toothbrushes at the ends of the service periods thereby promoting dental health as recommended by dentists and toothbrush manufacturers. The service period indicator may be numbers, letters, words, symbols, colors, figures or any combination that suggests a period of service of a particular toothbrush and may be placed at any suitable location on each toothbrush. Suitable instructions, placed on and/or in the package or separate from the package, are preferably provided to inform potential users of the meanings of the indicators.
Abstract:
A process for producing high quality TPA suitable for PET feedstock material from recycled polyester. The process includes the steps of depolymerizing the polyester to form DMT; separating the DMT from secondary materials; and hydrolyzing the DMT to form TPA. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the recycled polyester is contacted with a component monomer or oligomer thereof to liquefy the polyester prior to depolymerizing the polyester.
