  • Publication number: 20190141147
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for systems and methods to track and calculate user interactivity time with one or more specified websites or application programs. A list of websites and/or application programs for tracking may be created and maintained, and when a user accesses and interacts with one of the websites or application programs, the user interactivity time with that particular application program or website is tracked. Periods of user inactivity with the particular application program or website are not counted towards the user interactivity time. The resulting user interactivity time data with each specified website and specified application program can be utilized in various manners, such as for generating reports, displays, or may be analyzed in numerous ways depending upon the particular implementation.

  • Patent number: 5816201
    Abstract: An offset crankshaft mechanism for an internal combustion engine which allows for greater efficiency and increased torque. The invention includes an engine block, a crankcase, one or more piston cylinders each having a piston reciprocally disposed therein, a rotatable crankshaft longitudinally disposed within the crankcase and offset at a predetermined distance from the vertical axis of the piston cylinder, and one or more connecting rods connecting the pistons to the crankshaft. The offset crankshaft is located such that at a point during the power stroke the crankshaft is perpendicular to the vertical axis of the piston cylinder and the connecting rod is substantially collinear with the vertical axis of the piston cylinder. The crankshaft must be located far enough below the piston cylinders to prevent interference between the connecting rods and the piston cylinders.
