Abstract: An approach is disclosed for providing item-to-item recommendations. The approach receives data for an item. The approach generates recommended candidate item data for the data of the received item. The approach generates feature data of the recommended candidate item data and the data of the received item. The feature data may include one or more similarities between the data of the received item and data corresponding to a respective recommended candidate item. The approach generates ranked recommended candidate item data based on the generated feature data and at least one weight determined for candidate test item data. The candidate test item data may include data corresponding to the recommended candidate item data.

Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically determining and providing recommendations of items to advertise customers. In some examples, a computing device generates feature data based on historical website interaction data, historical transaction data, and item categorical data. The computing device trains each of a plurality of machine learning models based on the generated feature data. The computing device may then receive a plurality of recommended items to advertise in association with an anchor item. The computing device may execute the trained machine learning process to generate prediction data associated with a future time period. The prediction data may identify a number of times each recommended item may be purchased during the future time period. The computing device may then rank the plurality of recommended items based on the prediction data. In some examples, the computing device filters the plurality of recommended items based on item categories.

The module includes cross junction modules (105), serpentine modules and squeezing-relaxing modules (1101). The devices and related methods result in increased payload (502) delivery and reduced loss in cell (501) viability.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed for providing enhanced complementary recommendations. The approach receives an anchor item. The approach determines one or more items similar to the anchor item, based on at least one of co-view data and content data of the anchor item. The approach determines one or more items that complement the one or more similar items, based on co-purchase data of the one or more similar items. The approach generates recommended complementary item data for the anchor item. The approach generates the recommended complementary item data based on the co-purchase data and at least one of the co-view data and the content data.

Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically diversifying item advertisements, such as advertisements for items displayed on a website. In some examples, a computing device receives a plurality of recommended items to advertise with an anchor item. The computing device may determine a relevancy between each of the plurality of recommended items and the anchor item. The computing device may also determine a distance between each of the plurality of recommended items. The distances may be determined based on, for example, a category of each item. The computing device may then execute a diversity determination model based on the relevancies and distances to determine a diversified subset of the recommended items. Advertisements for the diversified subset of recommended items may then be displayed, such as on a webpage dedicated to the anchor item.

Abstract: An electrical terminal includes a terminal base. A mate portion is attached to the terminal base. The mate portion is adapted to mate with a corresponding electrical terminal. The electrical terminal includes a conductor contact portion. The conductor contact portion includes a box attached to the terminal base. A lever extends from one wall of the box. The lever is curved to extend toward the terminal base. The lever is adapted to engage a conductor of a wire inserted into the box. The electrical terminal also includes an insulation contact portion. The insulation contact portion is attached to the terminal base. The insulation contact portion is adapted to engage an insulation of the wire.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first housing. A second housing is moveable relative to the first housing. The electrical connector includes a lever mounted on the first housing for relative rotational movement. The lever may move between a pre-stage position and a final position. The lever engages the second housing to move the second housing linearly between a pre-stage position and a seated position relative to the first housing. The electrical connector includes a pre-lock that retains the lever in the pre-stage position relative to the first housing. A pre-lock release on the second housing releases the pre-lock when the second housing is in the pre-stage position relative to the first housing. Releasing the pre-lock allows movement of the lever relative to the first housing.

Abstract: An electric connector includes a housing that defines an interior space. An electric terminal is located within the interior space in an installed position. The electric terminal includes a terminal body and a plurality of terminal arms extend from the terminal body in an insertion direction on opposed sides of a terminal axis. The electric terminal also includes a wire connection portion that extends from the terminal body. A channel is defined on one of the housing and the electric terminal, and a projection is on the other of the housing and the electric terminal. The projection is located in the channel.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an electrical terminal and a housing having a front end and a back end with an opening configured to receive the electrical terminal therethrough. The housing includes a first lock system configured to allow insertion of the electrical terminal into the housing and prohibit removal of the electrical terminal from the housing. The housing is configured such that the first lock system is accessible from the front of the housing to release the electrical terminal from the first lock system. A second lock system is configured for insertion into the housing to prohibit removal of the electrical terminal from the housing independently from the first lock system.
