  • Patent number: 10089654
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for assigning user interface widgets to page slots associated with a page template and detecting expired content generated by the widgets. A user interface widget can generate markup language for placement within a page slot. The markup language can be analyzed to determine whether it contains a URL incorporating a content identifier. An analysis of the content identifier can be performed to determine whether the content identifier corresponds to expired content.

  • Patent number: 9928224
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for assigning user interface widgets to page slots associated with a page pipeline. In response to a request to generate a content page, content placement requests are then received from user interface widgets. The page slots are associated with a placement value indicating a value of the page slot relative to other page slots in the page template and can be weighted based upon their location in a page pipeline. The highest ranked user interface widgets according to an effectiveness metric or placement score are scheduled for placement in the content page.

  • Patent number: 9858356
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for automated page generation using value-based recommendations are disclosed. A plurality of content recommendations are determined for a web page using one or more recommenders. Individual ones of the content recommendations are assigned to individual ones of a plurality of interaction elements. Respective effectiveness values for individual ones of the interaction elements are determined based at least in part on the individual ones of the content recommendations assigned to the individual ones of the interaction elements. Based at least in part on the respective effectiveness values for the individual ones of the interaction elements, individual ones of the interaction elements are assigned to respective portions of the web page. The web page is generated based at least in part on the individual ones of the interaction elements assigned to the respective portions of the web page.

  • Patent number: 9692811
    Abstract: Optimization preferences are defined for optimizing execution of a distributed application. Candidate sets of application parameter values may be tested in test execution environments. Measures of performance for metrics of interest are determined based upon the execution of the distributed application using the candidate sets of application parameter values. Utility curves may be utilized to compute measures of effectiveness for metrics of interest. A multi-attribute rollup operation may utilize the computed measures of effectiveness and weights to compute a grand measure of merit (MOM) for the candidate sets of application parameter values. An optimized set of application parameter values may then be selected based upon the computed grand MOMs. The optimized set of application parameter values may be deployed to a production execution environment executing the distributed application.

  • Patent number: 9643755
    Abstract: A flexible packaging bag is closed at one end by means of a header having a removable outer header portion and an inner header portion (16A) both of which are sealed. The seal in the inner header portion is peelable. An elliptical aperture is defined in the outer header portion. The aperture is dimensioned to enable the insertion of one or more fingers and is offset proximal to a first side edge of the outer header portion. The aperture is used to suspend the bag from a display hook at an angle and can be grasped as an aid to tearing when removing the outer header portion.

  • Patent number: 9507882
    Abstract: Described is a dynamic web platform configured to provide content rendered with one or more rendering systems. The rendering systems and the modules making up the rendering modules may interact with one another by way of declarative data. Administrators may configure the platform using the declarative data. The declarative data may express operational parameters, business rules, and so forth and may be modified while the platform is operating. The modules in the rendering system may be loosely bound, allowing for concurrent operations, dynamic changes to what content is to be rendered, and so forth.

  • Publication number: 20160152406
    Abstract: A packaged food item has a package holding the food item, with a preformed part having a receptacle with a peripheral edge, and second part sealed to the edge, forming an enclosure holding the food item. The receptacle is a sheet having an inner face conforming to a shaped portion of a surface of the food item, and may have an outer face following the shape of the inner face. The food item is retained within the enclosure with the shaped portion of the surface of the food item and the inner face of the receptacle mutually in proximity. The food item is securely retained with the outer face of the receptacle providing, to a viewer of the package, a clear display of the shape of the food item, permitting any display, graphics or text, on the surface of the item to be visible on the outer face of the package, without the need to apply pressure or heat to conform the package to the shaped portion of the packaged food item.

  • Publication number: 20150375925
    Abstract: A confectionery packaging is provided comprising a first part formed from a preformed shell that is substantially rigid so that the part maintains it shape. The first part holds the product to be packaged, which in the Figures is shown as a confectionery egg. Main surfaces of the first part are shaped so as to substantially conform to the shape of the confectionery egg. Consequently an open mouth to the part is provided. The egg is accessible through the open mouth. A flange is formed about the perimeter of the open mouth. The flange extends away from the main surfaces and continuously about the perimeter of the mouth and extends a substantial distance therefrom in order to provide a surface against which a second part. The confectionery packaging forms a sealed enclosure about the egg by sealing a second part to the flange. To open the packaging, the film is separated from the first part, for instance by peeling back the film.
