Patent number: 11361685Abstract: A header for coupling to a retail display structure includes a front panel and a rear panel. The rear panel is formed coplanarly with the front panel, bordering the front panel along a longitudinal fold line. The rear panel is folded about the longitudinal fold line to fit adjacent and be adhered to an interior surface of the front panel. Hooks are initially coplanarly formed in an interior of the rear panel and coupled to a remainder of the rear panel via a fold line. Each of the hooks is folded rearwardly away from the rear panel defining an offset portion and a downwardly extending portion. The downwardly extending portion is spaced from the rear panel to receive at least a portion of the retail display structure between the exterior surface of the rear panel and the downwardly extending portion of each of the hooks.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Selina Larsen, Jacob K. Pomputis, Scott J. Fuenffinger

Patent number: 11354318Abstract: As a user navigates a website and/or mobile application, events may be captured. Example events include user interactions, return of information from services, and recommendation calls. Event stream data associated with the event may be collected once and provided to a server platform via a streaming data service. The event stream data may be converted to an appropriate structure for storage at the server platform by applying a schema. The schema applied may take advantage of a format in which the event stream data is captured at the client application. This enables the client application to provide minimal data to the server platform (e.g., an incomplete record) and the server platform to complete the record according to the schema. The event stream data may be saved internally within a database of the server platform, and distributed to one or more third parties in a compatible format.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Jordi Batlle, Dan Damkoehler, Clive Dsouza, Amanda Engelman, Edward Grams, Don Nguyen, Davis Nyabuti, Melissa Sanders

Patent number: 11356406Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving an internet protocol address and an identifier for a display and storing the display's internet protocol address and the display's identifier in a viewing record. A device's internet protocol address and a user identifier are received for a request sent by the device to a server. The display's internet protocol address is determined to match the device's internet protocol address and in response the display's identifier is associated with the user identifier. A display identifier in a viewing record and the association between the display's identifier and the user identifier are then used to determine that content listed in the viewing record was viewed by a user represented by the user identifier.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Evan Hovorka, Chad Weber, Samantha Beale

Patent number: 11348128Abstract: For a measurement period, signal strengths, device identifiers and access point identifiers are received from a plurality of access points. A record for the measurement period is stored in random access memory with the record being associated with a single device identifier and containing access point identifiers associated with signal strengths received for the measurement period. The location of a device is determined for the measurement period by retrieving spatial coordinates of a corresponding access point for each access point identifier in the record for the measurement period and setting the location of the device for the measurement period to the average of the retrieved spatial coordinates.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventor: Christopher Mark Brakob

Patent number: 11347698Abstract: Examples disclosed herein are relevant to garbage collection for data structures, such as hash tables. The data structure can store garbage collection values for use during a garbage collection process. The garbage collection values can have a value indicating the occurrence of a poisoned status. Disclosed configurations can be suited for use in high-performance computing applications.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Fretz, Hrishikesh V.

Patent number: 11340941Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for viewing jobs managed by heterogeneous job schedulers on heterogeneous computing systems. Organizations often rely on workflow schedulers or job schedulers to execute and manage their workflow pipelines. However, different departments within a large organization may rely on different job scheduling applications for managing their workflows. Without the capability to monitor and manage all or a subset of jobs running on heterogeneous job scheduling applications across the organization at the same time, organizations lack the insight they need to make their workflow pipeline more efficient. The disclosed system and method allows users to monitor jobs or computer applications, including details regarding job execution and service level agreements, running on heterogeneous job schedulers across the organization.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Jonghoon Joey Ahnn, Gaurav Gupta, Prashanth Sandela, Praveen Kumar Thota

Publication number: 20220157204Abstract: A header box for a retail display structure comprising a front panel, a rear panel, and a bottom panel. The rear panel is formed coplanarly with the front panel and the bottom panel and is folded about a first fold line of the header box relative to the front panel to extend entirely spaced from and substantially parallel to the front panel. The rear panel defines a depending flange extending downwardly from a remainder of the rear panel. The bottom panel is folded about a second fold line of the header box to extend between the rear panel and the front panel and is positioned above a bottommost edge of the front panel and above the depending flange of the rear panel. A reception cavity for receiving a cross bar of the retail display structure is formed between the front panel and the depending flange and below the bottom panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2020Publication date: May 19, 2022Applicant: TARGET BRANDS, INC.Inventors: Selina Larsen, Jacob K.
