20140052854 | CONTENT DELIVERY WITH LIMITED FREE SERVICE BASED ON PARAMETERIZED BEHAVIORAL MODEL - A user is allocated a first period of limited free access to content; the user's activity during the first period is monitored; and the user is assigned to a particular cohort based on the user's activity during the first period. Each cohort prescribes one or more conditions governing additional free access by users assigned to that cohort. The user is allocated a usage allowance based on the conditions prescribed in the cohort to which the user was assigned; and the user's actual usage is enforced according to the conditions prescribed in that cohort. After a time period prescribed by that cohort, the user is given an opportunity to become a subscriber to the system. If the user does not become a subscriber then the user's usage allowance is adjusted based on conditions prescribed in that cohort. | 02-20-2014 |

20120200630 | REDUCTION OF BUBBLES AND VOIDS IN PHASE CHANGE INK - Bubble mitigation approaches for phase change ink involve creating a thermal gradient along an ink flow path of an ink jet printer during a time that the ink is undergoing a phase change. The thermal gradient causes one portion of the ink in the ink flow path to be in liquid phase while another portion of the ink is in solid phase. The thermal gradient allows the liquid ink to move along the ink flow path to fill in voids and/or to push out air pockets in the portion of the ink that is still solid. The bubble mitigation process may be implemented during a start-up operation when the ink is transitioning from a solid phase to a liquid phase and/or during a power down operation when the ink is transitioning from a liquid phase to a solid phase. | 08-09-2012 |
