  • Patent number: 10552878
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for discovering advertisements on publisher web pages and for determining whether the advertisements are obscured by other content on the web pages. An advertisement tracking and discovery system may use web crawler applications to explore multiple publisher websites. The web crawler applications may gather advertisement data that includes information associated with detected advertisements, placement pathways by which the advertisements were placed on the publisher web pages, and obscuration information for the detected advertisements. Obscured advertisements that have been detected may be ignored during advertisement tracking and discovery operations or obscuration information may be stored and provided with other advertisement information for the obscured advertisements. The advertisement data may be aggregated and formatted to be provided to a user. The provided data may include advertisement screenshots and web page screenshots containing the advertisements.

  • Patent number: 5072850
    Abstract: A trash can wherein the open top of the container is surrounded by a ring-shaped rim having two inwardly extending prongs forming part of a bayonet mount. The lid of the can has a top portion and a depending annular skirt which can be inserted into the rim preparatory to activation of the bayonet mount which further comprises two inverted L-shaped slots in the external surface of the skirt. The lower ends of the slots are open to permit entry of prongs in response to placing of the lid onto the rim, and the lid is then turned relative to the container in order to cause the prongs to enter the substantially horizontal portions of the respective slots. The bayonet mount ensures that the lid cannot be separated from the container by dogs, bears, raccoons and/or other animals. In addition, the bayonet mount can maintain the top portion of the lid in substantial sealing engagement with the rim to prevent the escape of odors and/or flowable substances.
