Abstract: Techniques for configuring an entity are disclosed. The techniques include generating, based on multiple sets of features inputted into a machine learning model, predictions of multiple sets of performance metrics for multiple configurations of the entity. The techniques also include calculating a change in efficiency between each configuration in the multiple configurations and the base configuration based on a first set of performance metrics for the base configuration and a second set of performance metrics generated by the machine learning model for the configuration. The techniques further include determining, based on values of the change in efficiency calculated for the multiple configurations, a second set of configuration values with a highest increase in efficiency over the base configuration. The techniques additionally include causing the second set of configuration values to be outputted in association with the entity.

Abstract: The invention is a gap accessary device for elevated roller rails disposed on a platform floor. The device includes a housing, fingers, tangs, roller support structures, rollers, a first curved truncated inclined plane, and a second curved truncated inclined plane. The device allows cargo to enter a platform without catching on the platform threshold and requires less effort to load cargo onto a platform with elevated roller rails.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for tiered customization for an application with a plurality of users. In one embodiment, an application with various options for different users has a tiered system for customization to provide cost efficiency. For example, in a tiered system for customization, multiple option values can be specified for one option at multiple tiers of user group hierarchy and resolved based on the tier hierarchy to balance the capability for deep customizability, and the efficiency of resource usage. For example, a deep customizable hosted Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application allows customization from company level to individual user level.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems, methods, and software applications, which are configured to manage marketing templates that are to be used in e-mail marketing campaigns, are described in the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, among many, a computer readable medium is configured to store instructions that are executable by a processing device. The computer readable medium includes logic adapted to enable a user to create a marketing template and logic adapted to enable the user to publish the marketing template on one or more social networks. The computer readable medium also includes logic adapted to enable the user to incorporate the marketing template into an e-mail marketing campaign. Furthermore, the computer readable medium comprises logic that is adapted to track statistics related to recipients' responses to the e-mail marketing campaign.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for grouped customization for an application with a plurality of users. In one embodiment, option values for options are grouped (e.g., to represent best practices) for selection by groups of users, such as users of companies of different industries of a hosted Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application. For example, serialized best practices can be grouped for use in the tiered system to provide option values for certain users or user groups.
