Publication number: 20200019584Abstract: The Supra Boundary Web Compositor Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“SBWC”) transforms webpage request inputs via SBWC components into composited expandable element outputs. A top level listening (TLL) component that creates a node list of first level frames is provided. The TLL component executes components provided by a frame busting (FB) component. A first frame obtains a frame escaping (FE) component. The FE component generates a unique frame identifier and creates a second frame that obtains the FB component. The FE component listens for TLL messages, determines a node list identifier of a first level frame, and sends the node list identifier to the FB component. The FB component generates a component that facilitates determining which first level frame contains associated expandable display payload. The FB component listens for FE messages, determines the node list identifier, and generates a component that facilitates rebuilding the expandable display payload in webpage top level.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2019Publication date: January 16, 2020Applicant: Content Directions, Inc. dba LinkstormInventors: Timothy Donald Ross, David Anthony Sidman

Publication number: 20160155147Abstract: A method for generating bids for a group of keywords includes accessing, over a computer network, budget data and historical spend data for at least two groups of keywords. The method also includes determining a baseline portion of a budget to be allocated to a first group of keywords. The method also includes predicting, with reference to the historical spend data and the historical budget allocation data, an unspent amount. The method also includes calculating, based upon at least one adjustable allocation parameter, a first portion of the unspent amount to be allocated. The method also includes allocating the baseline portion and the first portion of the unspent amount to the first group of keywords.

Patent number: 9193618Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for alignment of a glass member for high temperature processing are disclosed. The high temperature processing can, for example, pertain to a slumping process to mold glass into a predetermined shape (e.g., a three-dimensional shape). In one embodiment, a glass slumping system can have a mold and an alignment system that support a glass member to be slumped relative to the mold. The alignment system may have a plurality of alignment members being configured to move away from the glass member as the temperature increases during the slumping process to allow the glass member to bend around the mold without interference.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Donald Ross, Adam Stagnaro, Matthew Theobald, Andrew Davidson, Michael Kane Pilliod

Patent number: 8549882Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for forming complex edges on a glass member through the use of a glass slumping process are disclosed. According to one aspect of the invention, a method of forming a complex edge in a glass forming process includes grinding an edge of a glass member and polishing the edge of the glass member. Grinding the edge of the glass member causes the edge of the glass member to have a first level of complexity. The method also includes performing a slumping process on the glass member. Performing the slumping process causes the edge of the glass member to have a second level of complexity that is more complex than the first level of complexity.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Andrew Davidson, Michael Kane Pilliod, Donald Ross

Patent number: 8505376Abstract: A technique facilitates flow monitoring in a well. A well component is designed for engagement with a well string deployed downhole into a wellbore. The well component has an internal flow passage through which well fluid is flowed. A sensor structure is mounted in the well component along the internal flow passage and comprises at least one sensor designed to sense a parameter related to fluid flow. The sensor structure is movable between a non-intrusive flow position with respect to the internal flow passage and a measurement position within the internal flow passage for measurement of the desired parameter.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2010Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventor: Donald Ross
