  • Publication number: 20240070093
    Abstract: Apparatuses and techniques for implementing an asymmetric read-write sequence for interconnected dies are described. The asymmetric read-write sequence refers to an asymmetric die-access sequence for read versus write operations. The “asymmetric” term refers to a difference in an order in which data is written to or read from interface and linked dies of the interconnected die architecture. The orders for the read and write operations can be chosen such that a delay associated with transferring data between the interconnected dies occurs as data passes between the interface die and a memory controller. With asymmetric read-write burst sequences, overall timing of the read and write operations of a memory device may be impacted less, if at all, by a timing delay associated with the interconnected die architecture.

  • Publication number: 20230117296
    Abstract: Endogenous and exogenous variables associated with an item for sale by an affiliate may be displayed to a user of an affiliate decision-making tool. In response to the user selecting one of the endogenous variables, the affiliate decision-making tool may compute a number of introductions, a number of leads, and a number of sales for each of a plurality of possible values of the endogenous variable. The computation may be done utilizing a display position algorithm. A visualization of effects of setting the endogenous variable at different levels may be presented. The user may interact with the display position algorithm to vary one or more of the plurality of possible values of the endogenous variable such that the affiliate is eligible or disqualified to be displayed by an intermediary in response to a search for the item by a visitor of a network site owned and operated by the intermediary.

  • Publication number: 20200005381
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for the filtering, selection and presentation of vendors accounting for both user characteristics and vendor characteristics, such that the systems and methods may be used by both customer and vendor alike to better match customer needs with the resource-constrained vendors with whom a successful sale has a higher probability of occurring. Embodiments may include filtering, selecting and/or presenting vendors to a user sorted by the probability that the particular vendor will possess the characteristics that appeal to a particular customer and therefore result in a large probability of sale and suppress presentation of those vendors that are unlikely to be selected by the customer since their characteristics are less consistent with those needed by the customer and, therefore, are unlikely to result in a sale.

  • Publication number: 20160286716
    Abstract: A chemical distribution system includes an irrigation unit that has a distribution pipe and a pump fluidly coupled to the distribution pipe. The pump urges a liquid through the distribution pipe and the irrigation unit delivers the fluid onto a plant crop. An injector is fluidly attached to the irrigation unit and the injector contains a chemical. The injector is oriented such that the chemical is gravity fed into the irrigation unit. The injector releases the chemical into the fluid urged by the pump such that the chemical and fluid mixture is delivered onto the plant crop.

  • Publication number: 20140032272
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide a solution in determining a lead value and making an introduction accordingly. In some embodiments, in response to a consumer's search request for a retail item within a geographical area, a decision system may obtain from a local database a list of dealers capable of provisioning the retail item—such as a new or used vehicle—at various locations within the geographical area. For each dealer, the system may calculate a dealer score across a plurality of tests and set a dollar value to an introduction utilizing the dealer score associated therewith. The performance measures of the tests may be normalized and adjusted utilizing a set of coefficients. The list of dealers may be sorted per dollar value of introduction and presented to the consumer. To provide more accurate dealer evaluations, the system may periodically reset the set of coefficients using sales data.

  • Publication number: 20130311341
    Abstract: A sales matching system which may match sales of products or services with consummated sales by collecting selected leads from a group of lead suppliers, collecting a plurality of sales records from multiple sales sources, and matching at least some of the sales records to selected leads. The matches may be assigned a matching confidence, and may reach a threshold level of confidence to be considered a matched sale. The system may also generate invoices to selected sellers identifying invoice-able sales for which compensation may be obtained in exchange for providing leads giving rise thereto.
