Title: Plastic containers with an external gas barrier coating
Inventor: PLESTER GEORGE
IPC: C23C16/00
Filed: 1998-03-13
Abstract: A coated plastic container is stated to provide for low permeability to gases and vapors. A method and system for coating plastic containers includes applying a thin inorganic oxide layer to the external surface of the containers with plasma-assisted vacuum vapor deposition. For example, the coating can include silica which is bonded to the external surface of the container. This coating is flexible and be can be applied regardless of the container's internal pressure or lack thereof. The coating firmly adheres to the container and possess an enhanced gas barrier effect after pressurization even when the coating is scratched, fractured, flexed and/or stretched. Moreover, this gas barrier enhancement will be substantially unaffected by filling of the container. A method of recycling coated plastic containers and a method and system for packaging a beverage using the coated containers are also disclosed.

Title: Systems and methods for advertising television networks, channels, and programs
Inventor: KNEE ROBERT A
IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 1999-05-13
Abstract: The system allows control of the presentation of advertisements associated with television networks, channels, and programs, and enables a single broadcasting of each advertisement associated with a network to numerous television systems in parallel. The presentation of advertisements is controlled by determining at television viewer equipment whether the associated television networks, channels, or programs are unavailable to the television viewer or are undesirable to the television viewer. The television viewer equipment then presents the advertisements, or selects and presents suitable alternative advertisements. A single broadcasting of each network advertisement is enabled by broadcasting each advertisement with a network identifier to all television systems, and then by determining whether a local affiliate for that network is available and not designated as undesirable by the television viewer. Based upon this determination, the advertisement or a suitable alternative is then presented to the television viewer.
