Patent number: 11126615Abstract: Systems for prosecuting Internet messaging campaigns. Two or more data sources are determined where at least one of the data sources comprise demographic attributes corresponding to shared IDs such as recipient IDs. A first join operation is performed over matching instances of the shared IDs in the two or more data sources. The first join operation results in a personalization table comprising rows having at least recipient IDs, respective external addresses, and at least one of the demographic attributes. The personalization table is transformed into a key-value data structure that is published to a caching subsystem. The caching subsystem is used to select a first set of recipients determined without performing a second join operation. Personalized messages to at least some of the first and second set of recipients are formed using the message template and the key-value data structures.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2020Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Jeffrey Taihana Tuatini, Bradley Harold Sergeant, Raghu Upadhyayula, Qing Zou

Publication number: 20160175944Abstract: A cutting tool with asymmetric structures on cutting teeth has multiple toothed surfaces. Each of the toothed surfaces has multiple groove structures dividing a side edge of the toothed surface into the cutting teeth. Since the groove structures of the toothed surfaces are arranged in an asymmetric and complementary manner, contact areas between the cutting teeth on the toothed surfaces of the cutting tool and a workpiece are reduced. The cutting teeth on the toothed surfaces of the cutting tool are not worn and broken easily. When the cutting tool is used for cutting hard brittle material, machining quality, accuracy, and efficiency are enhanced.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2014Publication date: June 23, 2016Inventors: Yu-Ting Lyu, Yin Chuang, Zai-Fa Chen, Yin-Xian Chen, Hai-Qing Zou
