Abstract: A control module for a high power motor includes a mounting frame made up of thermally-conductive material including a bottom wall and four side walls; a circuit board disposed within the side walls of the mounting frame; power switches configured as an inverter circuit oriented in two arrays mounted on opposite surfaces of the circuit board; an auxiliary circuit board extending substantially perpendicularly from the circuit board; capacitors mounted on the auxiliary circuit board with a long axis thereof extending parallel to the circuit board and away from the power switches; and connectors mounted between an edge of the circuit board and distal ends of the capacitors.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for serving advertisements to a user of a client device. Based on a user requesting to view an email message in their inbox, the system provides the email message to the user. At least one header field in the header portion of the email message is scanned and data is extracted from at least one header field. The extracted data is delivered to an advertising server, which selects an advertisement that is relevant to the extracted data and delivers the relevant advertisement back to the system. The relevant advertisement is delivered to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for protecting user information on a client device that may have a plurality of users. A user interface with a public machine designation portion is presented to a user prior to the start of the authentication process. The public machine designation removes web service account descriptions and any user specific information stored on the client device. Also, the client device is prevented from storing any new user specific information that is provided to the client device. The public machine designation is a persistent feature that may only be disabled by an affirmative action from the user.

Abstract: Online advertisements are delivered to one or more users. An authorization to access one or more data streams for a given user is received. The authorization is explicitly granted by the user. The data streams are stored within a user data repository. Upon the user conducting an online action that initiates a dynamic advertisement (DA) request, the authorized data streams for the user are used to generate a customized DA that is optimally relevant to the user. The customized DA is then delivered to the user. The customized DA is also monetized.

Abstract: Methods for delivering rich media content to a user within an email system via a dedicated media channel. An email system receives an email message associated with rich media content from a registered sender for delivery to a recipient. To improve the recipient's viewing experience, the email system ensures that the rich media content is loaded in a rich media database before delivering the email message to the recipient. When the recipient reads the email message, the email system delivers the rich media content to the recipient from the rich media database via a dedicated media channel efficiently and at a low cost.

Abstract: Techniques for zero fixed placement (ZFP) ads are described. ZFP ads may be triggered independently of a fixed placement for the ad in a user interface. In an implementation, data describing a user interface includes a trigger associated with a ZFP ad. The ZFP ad may be configured to set various modifiable attributes of the user interface. Setting the modifiable attributes of the page enables a ZFP to modify both the appearance and layout of elements and modules included in the user interface. A client may load the data having the trigger and render the user interface without presenting the associated ZFP ad or including a placeholder for the ZFP ad. When the trigger is detected, the client executes the associated ZFP ad, modifies attributes of the user interface in accordance with the ZFP ad, and outputs the modified user interface to present the ZFP ad.

Abstract: Techniques are described to provide content channels for electronic messaging. In an implementation, a content channel may be configured to contain multiple content portions having various types of content for delivery to one or more clients. The content channel may be associated with an electronic message such as an email or instant message. The content channel and updates to the content channel may be pushed to the clients as electronic messages in an electronic messaging environment. The clients may expose a user interface having one or more portions that are arranged to present and provide interaction with the content channel. The content channel may be pinned within a designated portion of the user interface to enable repeated access to the content channel via the designated portion.

Abstract: Techniques involving the creation of advertisements from electronic communications. In one embodiment, a determination is made that a received email includes advertisement information. Elements of the email that can be used in an electronic advertisement are identified, and the electronic advertisement is created using at least the identified elements of the email.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus of the present invention collect data associated with a consumer through generation of a consumer feedback communication via a wide area network. A business to which the consumer feedback communication is directed is identified in response to input from a consumer via the wide area network. Feedback data relating to the business is obtained from the consumer via the wide area network. At least a portion of the consumer feedback communication is automatically generated using the feedback data. Data associated with the consumer is then collected from the obtained feedback data.

Abstract: Techniques for message notification campaigns are described. In an implementation, a messaging service may process a message received for delivery to a client to determine one or more notifications regarding the message to be sent to the client. The one or more notifications may be designated by way of a notification campaign that is associated with a sender of the message or directly with the message itself The messaging service may parse metadata fields within the message to identify the sender and/or other data sufficient to determine notifications designated to take place regarding the message. A variety of different types of notifications regarding a message may be sent to a client. The messaging service may cause one or more notifications to be sent to the client in conjunction with various resources from a service provider in addition to delivery of the message to the client.

Abstract: Multipersona creation and management is described. In one of a variety of examples, a system provides creation and management of multiple personas of a single user. Each of the personas, for instance, may have an associated external representation of the user, such as user tile, alias, email address, and so on. These personas may then be managed, both automatically and manually, to provide different external representations of the user as desired.
