  • Publication number: 20230353597
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for determining a match between uniform resource locators (URL) fragments. A server may maintain a record for a first URL against which to compare. The first URL may have a first domain name, a first path name, and first strings. The record may include a first keys for a corresponding first URL fragments from the first URL. Each first URL fragment may have the first domain name, the first path name, and a first permutation of the first strings. The server may generate a second keys using a corresponding second URL fragments from a second URL. Each second URL fragment may have a second domain, a second path name, and a second permutation of the second strings. The server may determine a match between at least one of the first keys and at least one of the second keys.

  • Patent number: 10807139
    Abstract: A draw pad reduces instances and the extent of earing when a blank of metal is clamped and punched during a drawing process that results in the formation a cup-shaped body from the blank. A draw pad for a cupping press includes an inner surface that defines a draw aperture that is configured to receive a punch. The draw pad also includes a clamping surface that has a first force concentrating segment disposed circumferentially spaced apart from a second force concentrating segment, where each force concentrating segment includes a first arcuate groove and a second arcuate groove that is disposed concentric and radially spaced apart from the first arcuate groove.

  • Patent number: 8339888
    Abstract: A system with a memory device having programmable elements used to configure a memory system. More specifically, programmable elements, such as antifuses, located on a memory device are programmed during fabrication with measured operating parameters corresponding to the memory device. Operating parameters may include, for example, operating current values, operating voltages, or timing parameters. The memory device is incorporated into a system. Once the memory device is incorporated into a system, the programmable elements may be accessed by a processor such that the memory system can be configured to optimally operate in accordance with the operating parameters measured for the memory device in the system.
