Title: Carton with tamper evident prize information feature
Inventor: COOK MATTHEW R
IPC: B31B50/88
Filed: 2010-03-23
Granted: 2015-12-15
Abstract: A carton (100) including a top (105) and bottom portion (115) adapted to secure an item within the top and bottom portion in a closed configuration. The carton also includes an information tab (150) defined in a first surface of the top portion.  The information tab is defined via series of perforated edges (145). An information tab cover (135) on the carton is defined by a series of perforated edges (140) that enable at least partial separation of the information tab from the carton. When the carton is in an unassembled configuration, a surface of the information tab is exposed to enable placement of information on the information tab. When the carton is in an assembled configuration the information tab cover covers the surface of the information tab so that the information placed on the information tab is not visible.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'études commerciales en ligne qui permet à des utilisateurs de surveiller le sentiment vis-à-vis de leur marque via des données existantes présentes sur Internet. Les utilisateurs identifient la marque spécifique et les marques concurrentes auxquelles ils s'intéressent. Après avoir choisi une des méthodes d'échantillonnage du système ou créé une méthode d'échantillonnage adaptée de manière unique aux besoins desdits utilisateurs, l'explorateur Internet est lancé pour sélectionner, selon le plan, un nombre spécifié de sentiments. Le moteur nettoie les résultats des données de mauvaise qualité comme la promotion pseudo-spontanée (« astro-turfing ») et la reprise de blog en blog (« re-blogging »). Les sentiments sont alors notés à l'aide du moteur de sentiments du système, et à nouveau nettoyés à l'aide du moteur anti-contenus injurieux / haineux. Le moteur d'exploration du système rassemble également des données relatives aux marques concurrentes présentes dans la même sous-catégorie, la même catégorie et le même secteur d'activité, ainsi que sur diverses marques distinctes. Les clients utilisent l'interface de moteur du système pour visualiser les données dans un format qualitatif attrayant. De plus, ils utilisent le modeleur interactif de sentiments du système pour acquérir une perception plus détaillée et quantifiée des données. L'interface du modeleur interactif de sentiments permet aux utilisateurs de choisir les types de diagrammes, les constructions et les intervalles de temps qui sont importants pour eux. Les utilisateurs peuvent également choisir les marques concurrentes qu'ils souhaitent surveiller, ainsi que les normes auxquelles ils s'intéressent. Lorsque les utilisateurs sont satisfaits des diagrammes qu'ils ont visualisés et préparés, ils peuvent partager, sauvegarder et imprimer leurs résultats ou établir des alertes automatisées qui les informeront lorsque le sentiment en ligne a changé.
