An individual metric indicates a degree of relatedness between a value for the user for the at least one data field and a value for a candidate for the at least one data field. The features include identifying the user as a specific candidate included in the set of candidates based on the metric corresponding to a threshold.

Abstract: Features are described for efficiently and accurately provisioning content to a mobile device with limited user interaction. The features include storing a content identifier for a content element and a publication rule for the content element in a data storage device, the publication rule identifying a user to whom the content element can be provided. The features include receiving, from a mobile device, a message including the content identifier and an identifier of the mobile device. The features include querying a user data store based at least in part on the identifier to obtain user information associated with the mobile device. The features include determining that mobile device is eligible to receive the content element. The features include generating content for the mobile device based at least in part on the user information and the content element and causing display of the same via the mobile device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for round-robin e-mail scheduling are disclosed. A plurality of e-mail addresses, comprising a first e-mail address and a second e-mail address, are acquired. A first e-mail is sent to the first e-mail address. It is automatically determined whether the first e-mail was successfully delivered to the first e-mail address. If the first e-mail was not successfully delivered to the first e-mail address, a second e-mail comprising the same message content is automatically sent to the second e-mail address.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating opting back in to, or controlling, the sending of promotional communications by customers. A system is provided that includes at least one computing device upon which an application is executable. The application is configured to determine an option status of a customer with respect to whether the customer wishes to receive a plurality of promotional communications from a merchant. The application is further configured to determine whether an opted-out customer meets a criterion to be prompted to opt back into receiving the promotional communications. Also, the application is configured to associate a prompt with a network content item to send to a client. The prompt is configured to initiate a re-selection of the option status of the customer if manipulated by the customer at the client.

Abstract: Methods and systems for deliverability-based e-mail sending are disclosed. A plurality of e-mail addresses for a user are acquired. For each of the e-mail addresses, a connection between a sending computer system and a receiving computer system is opened. A likelihood of successful e-mail delivery is determined for each of the connections. The connection having the highest likelihood of delivery is automatically selected. An e-mail is sent using the selected connection, and the other connections are closed without sending an e-mail.

Abstract: A lining for use under head gear—such as baseball hats, top hats, helmets, cowboy hats, hard hats, beanies, stocking caps, etc.—comprised of two layers, one specifically for comfort, in both softness and breathability, and a second specifically for the filtering of salt, dirt, oils, particulate matter and other undesirable constituents contained in the sweat of the wearer. The two layers are each comprised of four roughly equal pieces of an isosceles triangular shape that are stitched together to form a half-dome. The two layers are then stitched together along the bottom circumference of said dome two form a single half-dome comprised of two individual layers. The two layers employ their relative absorbency to transport moisture from the head of the wearer and into the lining. The outer layer employs its maximal surface area to filter and store the sweat of the wearer, while maintaining breathability.
