  • Patent number: 11805019
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for segmenting and grouping a plurality of network nodes into one or more clusters. Content may be delivered from a transmitting user node to a receiving user node based on which cluster the receiving user node resides. The grouping of the clusters may be dynamically updated in real-time based on user activity data. Such user activity data may be collected from both a transmitting user node (e.g., server) and a receiving user node (e.g., user device) to map the delivery of a relevant communication. Advantageously, a transmitting user may deliver content to other relevant users and a receiving user may receive content from other relevant users.

  • Patent number: 11507688
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for method for regulating access to syndicated data across multiple communication channels, including online and offline channels. A syndicated data item may be activated upon performance or completion of a user activity (e.g., online user activity, offline user activity, etc.). A syndicated data item may have one or more expiration conditions, wherein after expiration, the syndicated data item becomes unavailable for activation. The systems and methods may simultaneously or substantially simultaneously, in real-time or in near real-time, assess the expiration status of a syndicated data item delivered to a user across multiple communication channels, including online and offline channels.

  • Patent number: 9422133
    Abstract: An exemplary method is useful for controlling movement of an elevator car in an elevator system that includes a machine that selectively moves the elevator car and a machine brake that selectively resists movement of the elevator car. The method includes determining whether the elevator car is near a landing and determining whether a door of the elevator car is open. A desired operation includes desired movement of the elevator car while the elevator car is near the landing and the door is open. A determination is made whether the elevator car moves other than according to the desired movement. The machine brake is applied for stopping movement of the elevator car responsive to elevator car movement other than the desired movement while the elevator car is near the landing and the door is open.

  • Patent number: 5377761
    Abstract: A ground fracturing probe to form fractures in subsurface formations includes an elongate, hollow body with a conical penetrating tip at its distal end. A threaded tool joint is at the other end of the body to allow the probe to be coupled to the drill string of a drilling rig. A helical flight is on the exterior surface of the body and extends along a portion of the body length between the tool joint and the penetrating tip. The helical flight varies in diameter over its length to define a cutting zone adjacent the penetrating tip, an injection zone above the cutting zone and a sealing zone above the injection zone. The helical flight increases in diameter in the cutting zone from the tip to the injection zone but decreases abruptly in diameter at the injection zone. The diameter of the flight remains constant in the injection zone and increases in diameter at the interface between the injection zone and the sealing zone.
