Patent number: 9600831Abstract: A system for user association attribution may include one or more processors and memory. The one or more processors may receive information pertaining to relationship events that each correspond to a participant and one of several entities in a social network, allocate, for each relationship event, attribution values to touchpoints accessed by the corresponding entity prior to the relationship event. The processors may further determine a weight for each of the attribution values allocated to each of the touchpoints, where the weight for each of the attribution values is based at least in part on each of the relationship events for which each of the attribution values was allocated, generate an aggregate attribution value for each of the touchpoints based at least in part on the weighted attribution values allocated to each of the touchpoints, and provide, to the participant, each aggregate attribution value generated for each of the touchpoints.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Linus Chou, Jonathan Klem, James H. Koh, James E. Stewart, Eric W. Ewald, Andrey Petrov, Carolyn R. Marshall, Paul Sliwowski, Paul J. Baker, Maciej Babinski, Jige Yu, Jacob B. Matthews

Patent number: 7883626Abstract: A process for neutralizing acid mine drainage which includes a neutralizer and binder component consisting of steel slag in an amount of 75% to 95% by weight of the agglomeration, a sodium carbonate selected from the group consisting of soda ash and pulp liquor in an amount of 0.5% to 25% of the agglomeration, and, optionally, a lime component selected from the group consisting of limestone sand and slag. Further included is a dissolution control and filtration component consisting of an organic material in an amount of 0.24% to 15% by weight of the agglomeration selected from the group consisting of recycled newsprint, sphagnum peat moss, and sawdust. Next is a dispersant and neutralizer component consisting of a surfactant in an amount of 0.01% to 0.075% by weight of the agglomeration. The agglomeration may further comprise an oxidation component such as calcium peroxide, potassium permanganate, and hydrogen peroxide.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2010Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: Waterways Restoration Group, Inc.Inventors: William S.

Patent number: 7403128Abstract: An adverse condition detector that records historical data concerning the operation of the detector such that the detector can be interrogated by a technician. The microprocessor of the adverse condition detector monitors for alarm conditions and other important information related to the operation of the detector. Upon identifying an important characteristic of the detector operation, the microprocessor time stamps the information and stores the information within memory of the microprocessor. The detector includes an interface pad that is accessible from the exterior of the detector such that a technician can access the interface pad without removing the detector housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2006Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Maple Chase CompanyInventors: Rodney W. Scuka, Timothy D. Kaiser, Paul J. Baker

Patent number: 5111993Abstract: A water sprinkler is disclosed having a rotatable water driven nozzle member and a stationary spout for simultaneously discharging a twirling stream of water from the nozzle member and a pulsating stream from the spout. A chamber is provided within which a pulsating valve is rotatably mounted about its hollow stub shaft. The shaft is secured to the nozzle member for rotation therewith, and allows passage of water from a water inlet through the nozzle member. The stub shaft of the pulsating valve further has a laterally extending segmented plate for intermittently opening and closing the spout for allowing a pulsating stream of water to pass therethrough. The water sprinkler is further provided with one or more water outlets connectable to a hose or spray forming nozzle. A rotary valve is provided for selectively connecting the water inlet to a selected one of the chamber and water outlets. The outer housing of the water sprinkler is formed to simulate a colorful fire hydrant.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1990Date of Patent: May 12, 1992Assignee: The Quaker Oats CompanyInventor: Paul J.
