  • Publication number: 20210149854
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described that support extensible data mapping. A data mapping server may receive an indication of a source schema for a data source and may receive a user input indicating creation of a custom data object to handle the source schema. The server may create the custom data object based on the user input. The data mapping server may automatically map one or more data fields for a source data object (e.g., based on the source schema) to one or more custom data fields for the custom data object (e.g., based on a custom schema). The server may import a set of data records stored at the data source and may store the data records in a database system according to the custom schema based on the data mapping. The stored custom data objects may be used for segmentation, activation, analysis, or some combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 10260479
    Abstract: A central shaft is oriented in a position that is normal to the surface of the ground and normal to a direction of fluid flow. The central shaft has a plurality of blades emanating from the central shaft, wherein each one of the plurality of blades has an outside edge and an inside edge, the inside edge being attached directly to an outside surface of the central shaft. The outside edge of the blade extends upward curving around the central shaft and the inside edge of the blade extends upward curving around the central shaft. The turn rate of the inside edge of the blades about the central shaft is less than the turn rate of the outside edge of the blades about the central shaft.

  • Patent number: 9921039
    Abstract: A high velocity ignition system for ammunition including an casing, a primer, a payload, a first propellant region, a flash tube, a second propellant and at least one channel. The casing has a base portion and a forward portion. The primer is provided in the base portion. The payload is provided proximate the forward portion. The first propellant region is located in the casing intermediate the primer and the payload. The flash tube substantially extends between the primer and the first propellant region. The second propellant region is located in the casing intermediate the first propellant region and the base portion. The at least one channel extends between the first propellant region and the second propellant region.

  • Publication number: 20140289005
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems (100) and methods used in marketing goods and services. The system includes a call router (124) which determines how a dialler (116) routes outbound calls to sales consultants, based on the output of a consultants skills model (122). The controller (118) also includes a lead sorting component (126) which performs propensity based sorting of sales leads based on the output of a sales propensity model (120). The output of the propensity sorting component is provided to the dialler (116) to control the ordering of the dialling of customers.
