  • Publication number: 20250117437
    Abstract: Forward-looking sales activities are poorly served by existing Customer Relationship Managements systems, as the customer information those systems maintain by definition does not include the speculatively interested “leads” pursued in initial sales contacts. An Enrichment database, asynchronously loaded with corporate and optionally individual contact information in anticipation of use, provides real-time access to information in support of such first customer contacts. The Enrichment information may also be used to expedite creation and revision of CRM records.

  • Patent number: 11989191
    Abstract: Distribution of content items provided by content producer computers to content consumer computers via a computer network is controlled and indications of different interactions with content items contained in messages distributed to content consumer computers are tracked. The different interactions with content items occur at the content consumer computers. Content items are indexed and ranked indications of at least some indexed content items are output in response to search queries. Tracking indications of different interactions with indexed content items occurs at the content consumer computers. Indications of different interactions with content items contained in messages distributed to content consumer computers and with indexed content items outputted in response to search queries are quantified. Content items are ranked based on the indications of different interactions.

  • Publication number: 20200149936
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a method for event logging. The method can include receiving a first sensor signal from a first sensor via a first sensor transmitter, wherein the sensor signal is associated with a flow of oil out of an oil storage tank. The method can include receiving a second sensor signal from a second sensor via a second sensor transmitter, wherein the second sensor signal is associated with an air pump that pumps air into the oil storage tank. The method can include determining whether a leak exists in the oil tank, based on a lag between a time when the second sensor senses operation of the air pump and a time when the flow meter detects a flow of oil out of the outlet pipe.

  • Patent number: 7290197
    Abstract: Errors in data retrieved from a storage medium are corrected by retrieving a plurality of data blocks and a plurality of redundancy blocks associated with the plurality of data blocks from the storage medium. One or more data blocks retrieved from the storage medium having errors are identified and removed. When the number of data blocks identified as having errors is less than the number of retrieved redundancy blocks, one or more excess redundancy blocks are removed, and one or more retained redundancy blocks are kept from the retrieved redundancy blocks. One or more new redundancy blocks are generated based on the retrieved data blocks. One or more residual blocks are generated based on the one or more new redundancy blocks and the one or more retained redundancy blocks. One or more data blocks identified as having errors are corrected using the generated one or more residual blocks.

  • Patent number: 7228490
    Abstract: A decoder to correct errors in data includes a plurality of cells. Each cell generates a partial syndrome based on data blocks and one or more redundancy blocks. Each cell generates a partial error value based on a portion of an inverse of an error location matrix that identifies locations of any data blocks having errors. A summation logic connected to the plurality of cells generates an error value based on the partial error values generated by the plurality of cells.

  • Patent number: 7228467
    Abstract: Errors in data retrieved from a storage medium are corrected by retrieving a plurality of data blocks from the storage medium. A plurality of redundancy blocks associated with the plurality of data blocks are also retrieved from the storage medium. The number of data blocks with errors from the plurality of data blocks retrieved from the storage medium is determined. When the number of data blocks with errors exceeds the number of redundancy blocks, the data blocks are corrected in data segments, where a data segment includes data from a portion of each of the plurality of data blocks retrieved from the storage medium.
