Patent number: 11899579Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory including instructions that are executable for causing the processor to perform operations. The operations include accessing a new component value and a set of inner heaps. Each inner heap of the set of inner heaps includes a sorted set of components originating from a plurality of component sources. The operations further include assigning the new component value to a first inner heap of the set of inner heaps. In response to assigning the new component value to the first inner heap, the operations include sorting the first inner heap to identify a maximum or minimum value of the first inner heap. In response to determining that the new component value changes the maximum or minimum value of the first inner heap, the operations include updating an outer heap to include a reference to the new component value of the first inner heap.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: StockX LLCInventors: Stephen Jeffrey Winn, Michael Lee Kozlowski, Brandon Mills Craft, Lane Shetron

Patent number: 11823517Abstract: The present invention provides a cloud computing based system for compliance monitoring of vehicles and users of hydrocarbon wellsites and methods of implementing compliance monitoring service. The system includes at least one access control station located in the compliance monitored hydrocarbon wellsite and a cloud system server to manage the compliance monitoring of the hydrocarbon wellsites. The cloud system server can analyze an access code data and geolocation data received from a mobile computing device of a user, who is desiring to enter or exit a hydrocarbon wellsite or a portion of it, to authenticate the user, to determine whether the user is entering or exiting the hydrocarbon wellsite, and to identify the location of the access control station where the user entry or exit occurs.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: DRILLING TOOLS INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Marc Haci, Arturo Quezada, Niall Miner, Brandon Mills

Publication number: 20190213525Abstract: The present invention provides a system for compliance scoring of users of hydrocarbon wellsites and method of it. The system includes at least one portable access control station located in the monitored hydrocarbon wellsite and a system server at a monitoring center. The system server is configured to be in communication with the portable access control station via a network. The portable access control station includes a checkpoint monitor and an access control unit. The portable access control station is configured to monitor vehicle and personnel access related events in the hydrocarbon wellsite and send data related to the events to the system server.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2019Publication date: July 11, 2019Applicant: WELLFENCE LLCInventors: MARC HACI, ARTURO QUEZADA, BRANDON MILLS

Patent number: 10007955Abstract: Some embodiments provide a system that generates different customized decks of cards with each deck being customized for a different user with a condensed and filtered set of business data that is relevant to that user. The customizations are based in part on monitored user behavior and user interactions with the cards. Cards identifying businesses that the user has viewed for the most amount of time, recommended to others, approved, or positively reviewed or rated are assigned high values. Cards identifying businesses that the user has viewed for the least amount of time, rejected, or negatively reviewed or rated are assigned low values. The system then continually updates the deck to remove cards identifying business with the lowest values while adding cards identifying businesses that resemble other businesses with assigned high values.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2014Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: DUN & BRADSTREET EMERGING BUSINESSES CORP.Inventors: Jeffrey M. Stibel, Judith G. Hackett, Chad Michael Buechler, Brandon Mills

Publication number: 20160055555Abstract: Some embodiments provide a credibility platform for a multi-dimensional, holistic, and real-time derivation and presentation of entity credibility. The holistic derivation of credibility is predicated on attributing context to subjective data using objective data. The credibility platform produces entity-specific context by identifying temporal or relational associations between different instances of target entity data. The credibility platform also produces comparative context for comparing the credibility of a target entity to a group of related entities. The credibility platform encourages entity engagement in order to provide a cause and effect presentation of credibility and to ensure real-time relevance of the derived credibility. To encourage participation, the platform prioritizes the presentation of credibility on the basis of entity engagement and provides fixed links to the credibility interfaces of the entities.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2014Publication date: February 25, 2016Inventors: Brandon Mills, Chad Michael Buechler, Jeffrey M. Stibel, Aaron B. Stibel
