  • Publication number: 20230394534
    Abstract: Method and computing device for performing dynamic digital signage campaign optimization. Screen data associated to screens controlled by the computing device and requirements of active campaigns are stored at the computing device. The screen data comprise characteristics of the screens and screen activity data defining the activity the screens for the active campaigns. The computing device receives requirements of a candidate campaign and generates a mathematical model based on the requirements of the candidate campaign, the requirements of the active campaigns, and at least some of the screen data. The mathematical model is transmitted to a mathematical solver and a mathematical solution generated by the mathematical solver is received. The computing devices generates configuration data for the candidate campaign based on the mathematical solution.

  • Publication number: 20230313045
    Abstract: A system for separating bitumen from shingle powder includes: a blender; a solvent tank in fluid communication with the blender; a water tank in fluid communication with the blender; a decanting tank in fluid communication with the blender; a distillation tank in fluid communication with the decanting tank; and a plurality of pumps for pumping fluids between various components of the system or out of the system. When the system is in use, the blender receives and mixes solvent from the solvent tank with shingle powder containing bitumen to produce a bitumen-infused solvent. Water is supplied to the blender from the water tank to wash an interior of the blender. Bitumen-infused solvent received in the decanting tank from the blender is separated from excess water. Bitumen within the bitumen-infused solvent is isolated within the distillation tank.

  • Publication number: 20230174869
    Abstract: This invention relates to manufacturing briquettes, pellets and shapes from recycled asphaltic limestone powder derived from waste residential roofing products. Briquettes and pellets are manufactured through a densification process at varying temperatures, creating recycled asphalt pellets, asphalt limestone pellets and bio mass and coal fines briquettes. Various shapes, including curbs and posts, are manufactured through heat and pressure in molds. Seawalls, walkways and wall panels are manufactured by blending asphaltic limestone powders with polymer resins and extruded or pultruded into shapes.

  • Patent number: 10329084
    Abstract: A construction material transport container includes four side doors that form substantially all of two side walls of the container. The container includes transversely disposed forklift pockets that can be used to load the container onto a flatbed truck. With the container on a truck and the side doors open, new construction materials can be loaded onto the container from both sides. Both the container and the new materials can be delivered to a job side by a single delivery using a truck-attached forklift. The empty container can then be used as a receptacle for recyclable materials. The container further includes roll-off or hook lift vehicle tracks configured so that the container can be picked up and hauled to a recycling or refuse center. A rear door of the container can be opened so that the container can be tilted by the vehicle to offload the used material.

  • Patent number: 8934503
    Abstract: A supervisory communications device, such as a headend device within a communications network, monitors and controls communications with a plurality of remote communications devices throughout a widely distributed network. The supervisory device allocates bandwidth on the upstream channels by sending MAP messages over its downstream channel. A highly integrated media access controller integrated circuit (MAC IC) operates within the headend to provide lower level processing on signals exchanged with the remote devices. The enhanced functionality of the MAC IC relieves the processing burden on the headend CPU and increases packet throughput. The enhanced functionality includes header suppression and expansion. DES encryption and decryption, fragment reassembly, concatenation, and DMA operations.

  • Patent number: 8908716
    Abstract: A method for increasing upstream bandwidth per cable modem user in a cable communications system that includes a cable modem termination system (CMTS) and a plurality of cable modems is provided. The method permits a cable modem to transmit data to the CMTS on multiple upstream channels simultaneously using a technique called “channel bonding.” Channel bonding allows smaller bandwidth upstream channels to be bonded together to create a larger bandwidth pipe.

The method permits a cable modem to transmit data to the CMTS on multiple upstream channels simultaneously using a technique called “channel bonding.” Bandwidth allocation is achieved by transmitting from a CMTS to a cable modem a unique bandwidth allocation message for each upstream channel in a bonded group of upstream channels, wherein the combination of unique bandwidth allocation messages collectively allocates requested bandwidth across the bonded group.
