Patent number: 9665900Abstract: Systems and methods herein can generate sales rankings for parts based on one or more metrics, such as geographic location of purchasers of the parts or based on items owned by users that function in conjunction with the parts. The systems can present the sales rankings to a user based on another item owned by the user. For example, sales rankings of memory can be presented to a user based on a laptop model owned by the user. Thus, users can determine how popular a part is among particular segments of the population, such as among users living in a certain geographic region, or among users who own a particular item designed to operate with the part. Moreover, the sales rankings can be used to generate recommendations of parts based on a corresponding item owned by the user that is configured to function with the part type.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2013Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Todd Claeson, Darshan Dev Bildikar, Christopher Warren Bryant, Edward Charles Grenier, Samuel Stevens Heyworth, Sachin Midha, Balu Ramu, Ambareesha Raghothaman, Andrew Robert Toner

Publication number: 20160290505Abstract: A cylinder-piston assembly includes a cylinder barrel having a first end and a second end. An end cap is coupled to the cylinder barrel at the first end having a cylindrical opening. A piston slidably disposed in the cylinder barrel has a piston rod connected to the piston. The piston rod passes through the cylindrical opening of the end cap. A spring is disposed circumferentially around the piston rod. A load cell disposed in the end cap is adapted to generate a signal indicative of the cylinder displacement based on a spring force exerted on the load cell during a movement of the piston in the cylinder barrel, wherein the load cell is pressure balanced to minimize effect of forces other than the spring force exerted on the load cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2016Publication date: October 6, 2016Applicant: CATERPILLAR INC.Inventors: JEREMY TODD PETERSON, JEFFREY LEE KUEHN, VIRAL S.
