Abstract: A system for determining store segments and store space allocation may include at least one computing device that is configured to obtain store sales data for each store in a group of stores and to determine a store segmentation score using a non-Euclidean distance metric characterizing a distance between a pair of stores in the group of stores. The computing device may also be configured to assign each store to a store segment based on the store segmentation score and validate a divergence of each pair of store segments using a divergence score metric.

Abstract: A systems including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer readable media storing computing instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, perform: receiving inventory information from two or more merchants; clustering the two or more merchants into a group of merchants; operating an optimization model for the subset of the inventory information for the group of merchants to determine a first inventory configuration for each of the two or more merchants at a seller location; operating the optimization model for the subset of the inventory information the group of merchants to determine a second inventory configuration for each of the two or more merchants at the seller location; and combining the first inventory configuration and the second inventory configuration to determine third inventory configuration for each of the two or more merchants at the seller location. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: An apparatus for direct liquid injection (DLI) of chemical precursors into a processing chamber is provided. The apparatus includes a vaporizer assembly having an injection valve for receiving a liquid reactant, vaporizing the liquid reactant, and delivering the vaporized liquid reactant. The injection valve includes a valve body encompassing an interior region therein, a gas inlet port, a liquid inlet port, and a vapor outlet port all in fluid communication with the interior region. The vaporizer assembly further includes a first inlet line having a first end fluidly coupled with the liquid inlet port and a second end to be connected to a liquid source. The vaporizer assembly further includes a second inlet line with a first end fluidly coupled with the gas inlet port, a second end fluidly coupled with a carrier gas source, and a heater positioned between the first end and the second end.

Abstract: Systems and methods including one or more processing modules and one or more non-transitory storage modules storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processing modules and perform acts of retrieving a first product offer from a first seller for a first product to offer for sale on a website of an online retailer, determining if the first product offer for the first product matches one or more existing candidate product offers in a catalog of the online retailer using one or more sets of rules, and, if the first product offer matches the one or more existing candidate product offers, coordinating displaying at least a portion of the first product offer on the website of the online retailer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for direct liquid injection (DLI) of chemical precursors into a processing chamber is provided. The DLI system includes a liquid precursor source vaporization system, which vaporizes liquid stably and efficiently. In one implementation, the DLI system is a closed loop integrated system which combines, an injection valve (IV) along with a Liquid Flow Meter (LFM), an ampoule assembly as a source of pressurized precursor, an inert push gas to pressurize the precursor in the ampoule assembly, a temperature controller to maintain a targeted temperature regime, leak detection and controlled carrier gas flow to gas heater.
