摘要:
A coating system for reducing the tendency for hydrocarbon fluids, such as fuels and oils, to form carbonaceous deposits that adhere to fluid containment surfaces. The coating system combines an outermost layer of platinum with an inner ceramic barrier layer of silica and/or tantala. The platinum layer catalyzes the hydrocarbon fluid to form particles of carbonaceous gum substances, and the ceramic barrier layer seals the containment surface from the hydrocarbon fluid to eliminate attachments points for deposits and inhibit interdiffusion between the platinum layer and the containment surface. The invention also encompasses a coating apparatus and process for depositing the coating system.

A method and apparatus are provided that interact with an IPTV product deployed in a communication network. The method and apparatus of the present invention collects subscriber activity data, such as channel changes generated by the subscriber while watching video or TV in an IPTV system. The system and method of the present invention collects, parses and processes this consumer activity data. The method and apparatus of the present invention collects and aggregates the IPTV consumer activity data from multiple IPTV consumer activity data collection systems. The aggregated data, collected over a national or global basis can then be used to generate metrics. The metrics are then analyzed by business rules to generate marketing data reports that can be used as an strategic analysis tool for communication network operators, content providers and advertisers to determine consumer usage of the IPTV systems and viewing of programming and advertising.
