  • Publication number: 20260105118
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for dynamically managing webpage traffic. In some implementations, a server receives a request from a client device to access a webpage. The server obtains attributes associated with the client device that provided the request. The server selects one or more webpage variants using the request. Data associated with the request and with the one or more webpage variants are provided as input to a trained machine learning model. The server obtains output from the machine learning model that indicates the likelihood for each webpage variant that the user will access a particular feature of the corresponding webpage variant. The server provides data representing the webpage variant of the one or more webpage variants whose likelihood satisfies a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20260105108
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating webpage data. An example method includes accessing content data associated with a first webpage and determining context data corresponding to one or more users associated with the first webpage. Based on (i) the content data and (ii) the context data, prompt data for one or more trained machine learning (ML) models is generated. The prompt data is provided to the ML models to obtain output data corresponding to one or more variation content elements. Data representing one or more candidate webpages is generated by adapting the one or more variation content elements according to the content schema. An instruction is provided to a computing device to cause the display of a representation of at least one candidate webpage included in the one or more candidate webpages.

  • Patent number: 10702749
    Abstract: A multiple-material golf club head with an improved scarf joint between the crown and the body, and a method of finishing said golf club head is disclosed herein. The golf club preferably has a metal body comprising a striking face, a sole, a return portion, a bond flange, and a rear flange, and a composite crown having a scarf region, a step portion, and a constant thickness region directly behind the scarf region. The golf club is manufactured by providing a club head with a bond flange, providing a composite crown with a scarf region delineated by a front edge and a step portion and/or groove, bonding the scarf region to the bond flange to form an upper golf club head surface, and grinding the upper golf club head surface only from a location proximate the front edge to a location proximate the step portion and/or groove.

  • Patent number: 10309577
    Abstract: An extended switch arm for a piggable pipeline connector for directing a pig to a particular pipeline and a method of manufacturing the same. The extended switch arm may comprise a switch arm, an upper plate attached to the top of one end of the switch arm, and a lower plate attached to the bottom of the end of the switch arm and aligned with the upper plate. A switch arm extension may pivotally attach between the upper and lower plates via a pin, allowing the switch arm extension to pivot from side to side relative to the switch arm as the switch arm is moved from one side of the pipeline connector to the other, essentially blocking access by the pig to one pipeline or the other without providing any sharp angles or other surfaces upon which the pig could become caught.
