Abstract: An integral, monolithic mounting bracket supports a corner of a photovoltaic module. The bracket includes a ballast tray for holding one or more ballast blocks, and includes a plurality of monolithic support legs that are disposed at acute angles from a plane of the ballast tray and that are integral with the ballast tray. The bracket can be manufactured by stamping at least two identical sections of metal from the sheet and then bending-up each section on its remaining uncut fourth side into a near-vertical position, so that each bent-up section forms a monolithic support leg.

Abstract: A color coded ammunition system includes a plurality of ballistic rounds, each having a bullet mass, a casing, a color identifier, and a numerical identifier. For each of the plurality of ballistic rounds, the bullet mass is terminally mounted into the casing with the color identifier being incorporated into the bullet mass and the numerical identifier being visibly disposed about the casing. The color identifier may be coated onto the bullet mass or impregnated into the bullet mass. The numerical identifier corresponds to the color identifier for each of the plurality of rounds, such that the firing order of the plurality of ballistic rounds can be determined. Furthermore, the numerical identifier can be utilized to uniquely match each of the plurality of ballistic rounds to an individual or institution.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products auction search terms in a search engine. Orders from customers are received, and a search term associated with the orders is determined. When an auction for the search term is conducted, an amount of a bid for the search term is determined and submitted to the auction for a position on a search result list for the search engine. A minimum level of traffic is then delivered to a customer website.

Abstract: A consolidated purchasing system for search term auctions is provided. The system typically includes receiving logic, analyzing logic, and purchasing logic. The receiving logic receives orders from customers. The analyzing logic receives and consolidates the plurality of orders, analyzes a dynamic auction for search terms on a search engine, and determines search terms upon which to bid and an amount to bid for the search terms. The determination of the amount to bid on the search terms is in response to a budget and an expected return on the search terms. The purchasing logic receives instructions from the bidding logic and bids on the search terms in the dynamic auction, wherein the cost of a position on a search result list for the search engine changes in response to input from auction participants. Other systems and methods are also provided.

Abstract: One embodiment of a method for selling services includes the following steps: enabling a seller to create a listing of a service that is available to be bid upon in an online marketplace, the service comprising work that is offered to be performed by the seller, wherein the listing is network-accessible by a client machine of a user; enabling the seller to specify available dates for performing work specified in the service listing; and enabling the user to view the available dates for the service that is up for auction before having to place a bid for the service that is currently up for auction. Other methods and devices are also provided.

Abstract: A targeted consumer traffic delivery system is provided. The system typically includes initial procurement logic, monitoring logic, and optimization logic. The initial procurement logic purchases paid inclusions and cost per click keywords for a website on a search engine in response to an initial expectation level. The monitoring logic gauges a traffic level on the website, the traffic being generated by said at least one search engine. The optimization logic increases or decreases traffic in response to the monitoring logic by including more or less universal resource locators for the website and using any of the pay for performance search engines. The optimization logic increases and decreases the traffic level to approximate the initial expectation level. Other systems and methods are also provided.

Abstract: An internet pricing system is provided. The system typically includes purchasing logic, a traffic gauge, and optimization logic. The purchasing logic purchases paid inclusions and keywords for a customer website on a search engine. The purchase of paid inclusions and keywords is, in some embodiments, based on a flat-fee pricing plan purchased by the customer. The traffic gauge determines the flow of traffic to the customer website and provides a feedback metric. The optimization logic receives the feedback metric, and instructs the purchasing logic to adjust the paid inclusions and the keywords in response to the feedback metric in order to meet a requisite level of traffic according to the flat-fee pricing plan. Other systems and methods are also provided.
