  • Publication number: 20170076322
    Abstract: A method for appending location data to behavior profiles, includes tracking a number of impressions for a user when the user is on-line, tracking a number of opportunities for the user when the user is on-line, calculating a cost associated with the opportunities for the user, and determining an index for the user to quantify a qualitative value of the user. Therefore, exemplary embodiments use information gathered and associated about a user to provide different decision propositions to the providers of targeted information.

  • Patent number: 9579762
    Abstract: Hammer drills and similar devices have an ongoing dust and debris problem that is solved by a protector device covering the drill in a main body protector shielding a user from the materials. The protector device has an evacuation region on its underside with multi dimensional adapters for attaching hoses of varying sizes. Additionally, an insertable collapsible accordion cylinder assists in covering the debris falling from different size drills being used. A second embodiment has a circular saw dust protector attachment arranged as two half moons or ¼ moon and ¾ moon having a central cylinder at their respective tops that are to be held together with a mechanical latch.

  • Publication number: 20170011113
    Abstract: System and method described herein may be used to relate a physical address of a user and an IP address of a user from on-line exchanges of the user. The method may include relating an IP address to an intermediate identifier, where the intermediate identifier is observed with the IP address during a single on-line exchange. The method may also include relating the physical address of the user to the intermediate identifier after an observed correlation between the physical address and the intermediate identifier. The method may also include relating the physical address of the user and the IP address of the user, where the physical address and the IP address are not observed together in a single on-line exchange.

  • Publication number: 20160349082
    Abstract: A rotary steerable drilling system that is operable to drill vertical wellbores and automatically maintain a vertical wellbore drilling path. The system includes a control module for operating solenoid valves that control an amount of fluid pressure applied to bias pad piston/cylinders. The control module is operable to determine when the system is deviating from vertical, in what direction the system is deviating, and where the bias pads are in relation to the direction of deviation. Based on these determinations, the control module actuates the requisite bias pads by controlling the amount of fluid pressure applied to the bias pad piston/cylinders to direct the system back to the vertical drilling path.
