  • Publication number: 20150363051
    Abstract: A visual display and interactive system for displaying data describing sequences and patterns which contain entities (e.g., search terms or keywords from web searches) may be provided to analyze the sequences. A generated visual display may include a radial display with a dimension that is fixed and all sequences of entities of that dimension are used in generating the radial display, such as all conversion path sequences. Such a radial display may be used for visual searching and/or viewing the impact of certain entities, such as search terms, keywords, campaigns, etc. that lead to a desired action, such as a conversion action. The interactive system may include a radial sunburst diagram and a breadcrumb area that can selectively display drilldown information. The interface may be interacted with to display further information via selection of a conversion path prefix via mouseover (e.g., hover) and/or selecting an entity via mouse click.

  • Publication number: 20150161652
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing for display attribution data associated with one or more events are disclosed. Processor identifies channels from paths including events corresponding to position data identifying a position along the path at which the event was performed. Processor determines attribution credits assigned to each event included in the paths corresponding to the channel. Processor determines a number of attribution credits assigned to the channel. Processor identifies, from the paths, a plurality of event-position pairs. Each event-position pair corresponds to events that correspond to a respective channel and are performed at a respective position of the plurality of paths corresponding to the event-position pair. Processor determines, for each identified event-position pair, a weighting based on an aggregate of the attribution credits assigned to the events to which the event-position pair corresponds.

  • Publication number: 20150161654
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating rules for assigning attribution credit across events, includes, identifying, by a processor, conversions at a website. The processor identifies path types associated with the conversions. Each path type identifies events and a index position indicating an event's relative position. The processor identifies a subset of the identified path types to be rewritten according to a path rewriting policy. The processor then rewrites the identified subset of the identified path types as rewritten path types. The processor determines, for each of the rewritten path types and remaining identified path types associated with the identified conversions, attribution credits for each event included in the path type. The processor creates, for each of the rewritten path types and remaining identified path types associated with the identified conversions, a rule for assigning the determined attribution credit to each event of the path type for which the rule is created.

  • Patent number: 8777403
    Abstract: An assembly of an optical lens and an eyeglass frame is revealed. The assembly mainly includes a fastener mounting into and locked between a middle part of the eyeglass frame and a middle part of the optical lens, where the eyeglass frame and the optical lens mounted with each other. Moreover, a stopping plate is mounted into the eyeglass frame at the position corresponding to the fastener. By the stopping plate locked with the fastener, the fastener will not separate from the eyeglass frame. Therefore the connection between the eyeglass frame and the optical lens becomes more firmly and stably by the fastener.

    Abstract: A battery array includes at least one battery holder, multiple battery cells and at least one electrode plate. The battery holder includes multiple block members and multiple clamps. Each block member has one sidewall thereof connected to one sidewall of another block member. Each clamp is fastened one sidewall of each of two adjacent block members to secure the two block members together. Each battery cell has its one end accommodated in one block member of the battery holder. The electrode plate is fastened to two adjacent battery cells to electrically connect the two battery cells. Thus, different number of block members can be used with a respective number of clamps to form different shapes of battery holders for assembling different battery arrays having different configurations or different electrical power. The invention relates also to the construction of the battery holder.

  • Publication number: 20060213778
    Abstract: A method of electroplating conductive material on semiconductor wafers improves deposited film quality by providing greater control over the formation of the film grain structure. Better grain size control is achieved by applying a continuous DC plating current to the wafer which avoids sharp discontinuities in the current as the applied current is increased in successive stages during a plating cycle. Current discontinuities are avoided by gradually increasing the current in a ramp-like fashion between the successive plating stages.
