Abstract: In some embodiments, a content placement system selects and allocates content objects for a display region in a user interface based on content priorities of the content objects and location priorities of virtual locations in the display region. The content placement system receives a request for content objects to be presented in the display region. The content placement system determines a layout for dividing the display region into multiple virtual locations. Each of the virtual locations contains spots each configured for displaying a content object. The content placement system determines content objects and allocation of the content objects for each of the virtual locations based on content priorities associated with the content objects and location priorities of the virtual locations. The content placement system transmits the content objects according to the allocation to an online platform for display in the user interface.

Abstract: An agency management and content management integration system links agency management system domain entities (such as clients, policies, claims, vendors) to content management system content hierarchical structures (such as client files, policy folders, claims folders, vendor files). End users can quickly navigate to the appropriate content management system structure or structures when working with an entity in the agency management system via button integration. The agency management and content management integration system automatically creates and updates the content management system when changes are made to the agency management system. This may include providing multiple mappings between the entities of the insurance agency management system and content hierarchical structures, a preview of changes to the content hierarchical structures, a testing environment to test the content hierarchical structure changes, and troubleshooting logs resulting from testing of the content hierarchical structure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus or system for determining an amount of coal tar that can enter, and subsequently be displaced from, a given type of soil for a range of depths of the soil. The method and apparatus also provide verification of the pressure at which coal tar can be displaced from a given type of soil. In particular, the method and apparatus simulate the hydrostatic pressure that a soil sample encounters in the subsurface of the ground. Accordingly, the method and apparatus provide a relationship between the concentration of coal tar in the soil and the pressure required to displace the coal tar from the soil, which allows for an estimation of the amount of coal tar that may be displaced at a particular location or site. Further, the method and apparatus are adaptable for use in the laboratory or the field.
