  • Publication number: 20240378636
    Abstract: Techniques for determining an audience gap for a communication campaign presented herein. The system can obtain data indicating a content item for a communication campaign of a client account. The system can determine, based on the attribute, that the content item is associated with a first group type. The first group type can include a plurality of audience segments. Additionally, the system can determine, using performance data of the communication campaign of the client account, a first performance value of a first audience segment in the plurality of audience segments. Moreover, the system can determine, based on the first performance value transcending a performance threshold value, that the content item has an audience gap associated with the first audience segment. Furthermore, the system can perform an action based on the determination that the content item has the audience gap associated with the first audience segment.

  • Publication number: 20240378251
    Abstract: Methods, computing systems, and technology for automatically generating media assets and content items are presented. The system can receive data indicating a request for a plurality of media assets that comprise multiple media modalities. Additionally, the system can obtain a media asset profile for a client account associated with the request. Moreover, the system can generate, using a machine-learned media asset generation pipeline, the plurality of media assets based on the media asset profile by instructing a machine-learned asset generation model to generate media assets that align with the media asset preferences. Furthermore, the system can send, based on receiving data indicating selection of one or more of the plurality of media assets, the one or more of the plurality of media assets to a content item generation system for generating content items using the one or more of the plurality of media assets.

  • Patent number: 11969930
    Abstract: An extrusion process for creating a roof ditch molding including forming a main body from a plastic material in a first stage extrusion, conveying the main body through a stacked array of die plates and into a first stage cooling tank, and communicating the main body from an outlet of the first stage cooling tank to a second stage extruder with crosshead die for applying a skim film bonding layer to the main body. Additional steps include applying a decorative layer over the skim bonding layer, communicating the main body to a third stage extruder with cross head die for applying wing portions in partially overlapping fashion along opposite side edges of the decorative layer and drawing the completed ditch molding through a second stage cooling tank prior to conducting one or more finishing operations.

  • Patent number: 11597131
    Abstract: A process and related assembly for creating an extrusion molded article with a chemically applied outer film. An extruded base material is formed during a first extrusion operation, following which a multi-layer film is bonded to the base material while the base material still at an above ambient temperature. The multi-layer film further includes successive layers of each of a polypropylene (PP), an adhesive, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a coating and s subsequent surface PET. The step of bonding of the film further occurs during an intermediate step between the first extrusion operation for forming the base material according to a given profile section and a subsequent extrusion operation for applying additional material along an edge of the film, the additional material including profile wings as required for a given design.

  • Patent number: 11497632
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an anchor for use with a medical device. The anchor includes a coil, a barb, and a turn connecting the coil to the barb. The anchor may be made of a shape memory material. The coil may have a first handedness, and the turn may have a second handedness opposite the first handedness. The anchor may be attached to the medical device by a friction fit, in some cases without being attached by welding, soldering, adhesive, or crimping.

  • Publication number: 20190374359
    Abstract: A controlled expansion stent graft delivery system has an adjustment configuration in which a retractable sheath is at a retracted position out of contact with a stent graft, but expansion of the stent graft is controlled by a control tether, which has a middle segment wrapped around a fabric tube of the stent graft. The stent graft changes diameter responsive to a tension level in the control tether. At least one of an orientation and a position of the stent graft may be adjusted during controlled expansion via the control tether. After proper placement of the stent graft, a tip clamp assembly can be actuated to unclamp and release the control tether.

  • Publication number: 20190083226
    Abstract: A stent graft includes a fabric tube supported by and attached to a stent. A plurality of streamers are attached at one end to an outer surface of the fabric tube and have an unattached coagulant end that is free to move with respect to the fabric tube within a sac of an aneurism to promote coagulation of blood, such as to inhibit Type II endoleaks. Each of the streamers have a length dimension that is greater than both a width dimension and thickness dimension. The streamers may comprise at least one of a extracellular matrix material, a hydrogel and embolic fibers.

  • Patent number: 10053828
    Abstract: An assembly and process for forming a two stage extrusion of an elongated marine dock from a plasticized material, such as including but act limited to extruding a first generally ā€œLā€ shaped bracket from a first more rigid thermoplastic, following which a cross head die arrangement is utilized in order to extrude a secondary arcuate and flexible material in extending fashion from a lower side of the ā€œLā€ bracket. The secondary/flexible elastomer is extracted in an open flexed position relative to the first extruded bracket, and further such that, following completion, can be flexed into a closed engagement with an upper perpendicularly extending side of the bracket.
