  • Patent number: 11921806
    Abstract: Systems and methods for rearranging tags on a graphical user interface (GUI) based on known and unknown levels of web traffic are disclosed. To provide users with real estate listings that have popular home attributes with respect to a given region, the system uses known user interaction information to determine predicted user interaction information for real estate listing phrases (e.g., tags) that are associated with unknown user interaction information. The system then ranks the real estate listing phrases based on each real estate listing phrase's user interaction information. Based on the ranked real estate listing phrases, the system generates for display the highest ranked real estate listing phrase in association with a real estate listing being associated with the real estate listing phrase.

  • Patent number: 10246884
    Abstract: A flooring substrate system of polymer, open cell structural panels that may be attached to framing members beneath or placed atop of a waterproof membrane roof or deck structure. The panels are attached by a clip with a mechanical fastener that can be screwed into the lower framing members at a range of angles relative to the plane of the panel while the mechanical fastener and clip remain in complete mating engagement. The panels may also be operationally positioned using a disk that either has a threaded post that is bolted to the panel through a pin block and washer, a fixed pin or a pair of spring arms that lock onto rabbets in the panel's top face.

  • Patent number: 9499992
    Abstract: A precision height and slope adjustable flooring substrate system for providing a truly planar array of fiber reinforced polymer structural panels so as to form a lightweight deck surface for the attachment of a surfacing material, such as a quarried stone, tile, concrete paver of the like to the top of the panel, providing a water proof stone deck surface that maintains the integrity of the underlying deck structure and can be precisely leveled without requiring substantial structural support. The system utilizes various interconnected plates, spacers, adapters and stanchions to achieve the correct height and slope compensation to achieve a truly horizontal, planar deck for the structural panel. With the use of specialized adapters on plate members, they can be attached above or below dimensional lumber to allow for the attachment to a framed open deck or to install a framed open deck above a planar deck.

  • Publication number: 20070193163
    Abstract: A system and method for providing an outdoor flooring such as a lightweight deck surface, employs a fiber reinforced polymer structural panel with plural grid openings therein. A fastener is driven into selected openings to enable the panel to be secured to a deck frame. A surfacing material, such as a quarried stone, is attached to the top of the panel, providing a stone deck surface without requiring substantial structural support.
