Patent number: 7853700Abstract: An on-line system and method assembles, stores, and administers all of a company's merchandising content in a single location, and optimizes the effectiveness of the content by determining the content and format most likely to be of interest to the consumer. Generally, a merchant sets up at least one campaign in the system, by generating various objects and/or resources comprising merchandising content. The merchant and/or its advertiser then establishes a set of rules which are applied to determine the objects and resources of the campaign to be distributed to a consumer, based on various circumstances and scenarios. When the consumer interacts with the system, the system determines dynamically the merchandising content to be sent to the consumer by processing data corresponding to the consumer, the consumer's computer system and environmental and geographical data.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2007Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: [X+1] Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Jonas Lee, Isaac Lidsky, Joseph Zawadski, Michael Lamb

Publication number: 20100294380Abstract: A working fluid flow rate flowing from a second port (13) to a first port (12) is controlled using a solenoid (S). A pilot pin (60) of a pilot valve (V3) driven by the solenoid (S) regulates an auxiliary pilot pressure. An opening of an auxiliary valve (V2) is varied according to the auxiliary pilot pressure, whereby the auxiliary valve (V2) causes working oil to flow out to the first port (12) from the second port (13) and varies a main pilot pressure according to the working oil flow rate. An opening of a main valve (V1) is varied according to the main pilot pressure, whereby the main valve (V1) causes the working oil to flow out to the first port (12) from the second port (13). Precise flow control at a low flow rate and responsive flow control at a high flow rate are thereby realized.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2009Publication date: November 25, 2010Applicant: KAYABA INDUSTRY CO., LTD World Trade Center Bldg 4-1Inventors: Kiyokazu Nagata, Keigo Yasuda, Masatoshi Fujise
