  • Patent number: 10621596
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for a video optimizer for determining relationships between events. The method comprises receiving a total number of events for a plurality of contents over a period of time, receiving a first number of events of a first content of the plurality of contents over the period of time, receiving a second number of events of the plurality of contents over the period of time, and determining a relationship between the first content and the second content based on the first number of events, the second number of events, and the total number of events. A second relationship may be determined by utilizing a first time of event by a user of the first content, a second time of event by the user of the second content, and a weighed correspondence.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20070234840
    Abstract: A parking brake actuator includes a support bracket, a lever supported by the support bracket and pivotable between a brake-released position and a brake-applied position, a push-to-release lock mechanism operably connecting the lever and the support bracket to selectively lock the lever in the brake-applied position, and a self adjust mechanism having a cable connection and a sector member pivotable relative to the lever, a spring member resiliently biasing the cable connection in one direction, and a pawl secured to the lever and movable between a first position wherein the pawl engages the sector member to prevent pivoting motion of the cable connection relative to the lever and a second position wherein the pawl releases the sector member. The pawl is resiliently biased to the first position and the pawl engages an abutment when the lever is in the brake-released position to move the pawl to the second position.

  • Publication number: 20070189509
    Abstract: A method for identifying a data processing path in a distributed computing network is disclosed. Initially, a call from a local device to a remote device is initiated. A path identifier is then generated which uniquely identifies the flow of data from the local device to the remote device. The generated path identifier is then associated with the call and data associated with the initiated call is stored. The generated path identifier is then stored and associated with the data associated with the initiated call. Additionally, the generated path identifier can also be used to transmit additional data, not essential to the call, along the identified path.
