  • Patent number: 11698940
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for rendering a first interface for presentation by a user computing device based on a first user input and information received over a network. The first interface can include item information. Additional item information may be stored at the user computing device at the time that the first interface is processed, but not initially displayed. Based on receiving a second user input, a second interface can be displayed that includes the additional item information, where the second interface may be displayed over a first portion of the first interface such that the first user interface remains accessible. The second interface may be populated with portions of the previously stored additional item information without necessarily obtaining further information over the network.

  • Patent number: 11386456
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for analyzing one or more online shopping missions to determine an estimated stage of a user within the mission and to adjust content for display to the user based on the estimated stage of the user within the mission. The estimated stage of the user within the mission may be determined using a model, such as a machine learning model, that accepts as input signals corresponding to the online shopping mission. The signals may represent user interface interactions and/or other data relating to the user and the mission.

  • Publication number: 20210158420
    Abstract: A user interface (UI) feature assists users in comparing items and making purchase decisions. One or more shopping missions are identified and consolidated so that a user easily compares competing vendors for previously viewed products. Additionally, user-selectable product options (e.g., size, color, etc.) are automatically pre-selected based upon past online shopping behavior and the availability of such options are displayed in the comparison so that the user makes meaningful shopping decisions and leverage past shopping results.

  • Patent number: 7540180
    Abstract: There is disclosed herein an apparatus for electromagnetic forming of a workpiece with enhancements that increase the durability and overall efficiency of the solenoid coil. The apparatus includes reinforcement members dispersed through the solenoid coil and a cooling system. The apparatus also includes a shaper that varies in girth effectively acting as a force concentrator. The electromagnetic forming device is also capable of incrementally heat treating the workpiece and reducing residual stresses in the workpiece. The invention further discloses a more efficient way of manufacturing the solenoid coil.

  • Publication number: 20070216768
    Abstract: A system for mounting a camera 46 within a vehicle is illustrated. The camera 46 may be positioned behind an IR transmissible window 82 within the vehicle and within a housing 36 within the vehicle. The camera 46 is thus placed between the windshield 20 and the housing 36 so that the field of view 60 of the camera is through the window 82. A notch shape 78 or hole 26 may be formed within the windshield so that the IR transmissive portion may be inserted therein.
