  • Patent number: 10162797
    Abstract: A computing device is described that is configured to display a graphic visualization representing a physical work site for conveying whether a member is accessible as a function of parameters. In an implementation, the computing device includes a display device, a memory, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the display device. The computing device includes a module stored in memory and executable by the processor. The module is configured to instruct the processor to receive parameters. The module is configured to cause the processor to determine liftability of at least one member. The module is configured to cause display of a graphic visualization representing a physical work site at the display device. The graphic visualization includes a graphical representation of the member. The graphical representation is displayed in a first hue when the crane can lift the member.

  • Publication number: 20130282495
    Abstract: Various embodiments enable auctioning of segmented advertisement insertion opportunities, e.g., segmented avails, associated with distributed content. In at least some embodiments, bids from advertisers to place advertisements in conjunction with a segmented avail are obtained. The bids that are obtained can have different durations (e.g., 60, 30, 15 seconds) that can be selectively enabled by a segmented avail in various combinations to fill a total duration of the segmented avail. Ranking criteria and/or logic can be applied to rank the bids one to another. In at least some embodiments, the bids are ranked within groups corresponding to different time durations. Bids can be allocated to the segmented avail by testing one or more combinations of the bids and selecting a winning combination based at least in part upon a sum of the ranks associated with bids in the combination.
