Patent number: 12141834Abstract: Systems, programs, non-transitory computer readable mediums, and methods of managing multiple and concurrent online advertising campaigns to eliminate user fatigue are disclosed. In particular, a campaign management server generates multiple target lists of users from a data warehouse for a plurality of pre-defined online advertising campaigns. The users on the target lists are selected to receive electronic communications, such as email or text, containing advertisements based upon target profiles associated with the campaigns as determined by marketing objectives. The advertising campaigns are prioritized such that users on a target list of a higher prioritized campaign are suppressed from lower prioritized campaigns in order to insure that the users receive a predetermined number of electronic communications within a set time frame.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2021Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Overstock.com, Inc.Inventors: Bradford Hardy Johnson, Michael David Breitenbeker, Joshua Lloyd Selleneit, Jessica Leigh Hughes, Catherine Diaz

Patent number: 7841287Abstract: An apparatus for docking and/or mooring vehicles, particularly watercraft and for restraining loads in truck beds or trailers. The apparatus utilizes ropes or cables in housing unit that provides for the extension and retraction of the rope or cables preferably without the need of electrical or manual cranks. The housings are adaptable to be mounted on the vehicle or at an attachment or docking location and are biased to retract but may contain stops or cleats for manually tying off and thus stopping the extension or retraction of the rope or cable. The housings may be further adapted to be flush mounted in relation to surrounding surfaces or to contain lights.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2008Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Inventors: John R. Wingate, Glenda R. Wingate, D. Hardy Johnson

Patent number: 6945954Abstract: An automatic injection device includes a drive mechanism and a sensor used to determine an internal characteristic such as a force or internal pressure generated during an injection process. This characteristic is then used as a control parameter by a microprocessor or controller which generates corresponding commands to the drive mechanism. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the characteristic is used to calculate an exit pressure at which fluid ejected by the device through an elongated tube. The drive mechanism is then operated in such a manner that the exit pressure is maintained at a predetermined level to insure that a patient does not suffer pain and/or tissue damage.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2001Date of Patent: September 20, 2005Assignee: Milestone Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Mark Hochman, Claudia Hochman, Angelo Ascione, Lawrence Brown, Hardie Johnson, Michelle Lockwood
