Patent number: 11750953Abstract: Supply chain systems and methods are disclosed for monitoring fluid levels in liquid containers, such as kegs. Embodiments include sensors that fit within a keg's false bottom, measure the weight of the keg, and transmit the weight information to a computer database via a wireless network. Other embodiments include an RFID device with information about a characteristic of the liquid within a keg (such as brand and/or type of beer) that may be attached to the keg and paired with the sensor so the sensor can transmit information about the characteristic of the liquid in the keg. In alternate embodiments, the sensor's transmitter is short range and an uplink/gateway is used to receive information from the sensor and relay that sensor's information to a broader wireless network. Multiple containers in close proximity may each be fitted with an RFID device and sensor and communicate their individual information to the database.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: BrewLogix LLCInventors: Steve Hershberger, Steve Kremer, Matt Mayer, Mark Kosiarek

Publication number: 20110055001Abstract: A system and method for optimizing advertisements. To maximize revenue, a plurality of ad networks are tiered based on their pricing data, and more preferably, their cost per thousand impressions (CPM). Each tier includes a pricing data range. Periodically, the system increases and decreasing frequency caps for the plurality of ad networks to raise the plurality of ad networks to a higher tier. Frequency caps are increased for an ad network when the CPM for the ad network is above the CPM range for the ad network's tier. The frequency caps are decreased for the ad network when the CPM for the ad network is below the CPM range for the ad network's tier. For each ad network request received, the system traverses through the tiers of the plurality of ad networks for an ad network that is capable of serving an ad based on the ad network's frequency cap.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2009Publication date: March 3, 2011Inventors: Julie Mattern, Matt Mayer
