Patent number: 11948170Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for estimating impressions for a digital out of home (DOOH) advertising spaces (e.g., digital billboards and screens). A DOOH advertising system may determine the location of relevant DOOH advertising spaces and the location of certain consumers with known attributes and a known location. Based on this information the DOOH advertising system may estimate a number of impressions for a given DOOH advertising space and a given consumer segment associated with attributes of consumers within a certain distance from the DOOH advertising space. Using this information, the DOOH advertising spaces having the highest estimated impressions for a given consumer segment may be identified.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sarp Arda Coskun, Ran Baror, Charles Joseph Rojo, Robin Michelle Sweers, Kaushik Shankar, Timothy Jacob Lawson, Wei Zhan, Jason Mach, Ankit Rajiv Kuwadekar, Adam Jacob Gilbert, Michael Lee Loritsch

Patent number: 10314315Abstract: A convection oven includes a cooking chamber for cooking a food product, an air circulator that circulates process air in a first direction through the cooking chamber and along a circulation path in a circulation passage. A heat exchanger includes one or more heat transfer ducts longitudinally arranged along the circulation path. One or more heating elements heat a fluid that is circulated in a second direction through the one or more heat transfer ducts which is opposite to the first direction. The process air absorbs heat from the heated fluid as the process air travels along the circulation path back to the cooking chamber. A partition wall may separate first and second parallel portions of the one or more heat transfer ducts. A heat exchanger may preheat fluid entering the one or more heat transfer ducts using heated fluid leaving the heat transfer ducts.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2016Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: LBC BAKERY EQUIPMENT, INC.Inventors: Stephen B.

Patent number: 9122668Abstract: A computing device (e.g., a processor executing instructions on the computing device) receives an input (e.g., from a user or from a data stream) into a cell of a table (e.g., a cell of a spreadsheet, worksheet, or workbook). If the input is a sum (e.g., a formula whose result is the sum of previous cells), then the computing device renders a total column representing the sum on a waterfall chart (e.g., on a user interface rendered on an electronic display). Otherwise, if the input is a static value (e.g., an integer or decimal number), then the computing device renders a change column representing the static value.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2014Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Workiva Inc.Inventors: Thomas Joseph Wacha, Dustin John Holmes, Kyle James McMorrow, Edward Yee Ly, Timothy Lee Gilbert, Sidney Robert Pitt, Tucker Douglas Hays, Kent Wesley Iverson, Rick Warren Maples
