Patent number: 11093977Abstract: Systems and methods of serving advertisements in a computer network environment are provided. A data processing system can receive a request for content from a client computing device. The data processing system can receive a cost-per-incremental-action (“CPIA”) bid from a content provider computing device. The data processing system can calculate a value of expected incremental actions from serving a first candidate online ad corresponding to the CPIA bid, and use it to translate the CPIA bid to an auction bid. The data processing system can select a winning online ad from among the first candidate online ad and additional candidate online ads based on their respective corresponding auction bids. The data processing system can transmit the winning online ad to the client computing device.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Google LLCInventor: Randall Lewis

Publication number: 20200149662Abstract: A clamp comprising a top and a base each having a body and at least one arm that is cantilevered away from the body. The top has a through hole that passes through the body. The base is a separate part from the top and comprises a stud that extends from the base to a distal end. A fastener is coupled to the stud such that the fastener can selectively translate along the longitudinal axis of the stud. A first mating interface is cantilevered away from the top or the base. The top is coupled to the base by placing the through hole down over the stud and permanently capturing the fastener between the first end and the distal end of the stud and aligning the at least one upper arm of the top with the at least one lower arm of the base to capture a bushing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2020Publication date: May 14, 2020Inventors: RANDALL LEWIS, Grigor Kerdanyan

Patent number: 10607251Abstract: Systems and methods of determining effectiveness of a test content item in a computer network environment are provided. A data processing system can receive a request for content from a computing device and predict a test content item as a winner of a content item auction. The data processing system can assign the computing device to a test group or a control group. The data processing system can execute the content item auction, while withholding the test content item from the auction if the computing device is assigned to the control group. The data processing system can transmit the winning content to the computing device. The data processing system can identify computer network activity associated with the test content item by the computing device. The data processing system can perform additional predictions if the computing device is the subject of additional experiments regarding additional test content items.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2019Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Randall Lewis, Abdelhamid Abdou, Robert Michael Saliba

Patent number: 9739065Abstract: A railing attachment clip to couple a guardrail to a rail topper, the clip including left and right portions with respective surfaces contoured to match the guardrail and the rail topper, and a central portion laterally coupled to the left and right portion. The central portion separates the left and right portions by a fixed distance. The matching contoured surfaces determine a position of the railing attachment clip on the guardrail, and determine a position of the rail topper on the railing attachment clip. In some embodiments, the central portion is removed after the railing attachment clip is attached to the guardrail, but before the rail topper is attached to the railing attachment clip.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: BARRETTE OUTDOOR LIVING, INC.Inventors: Michael Matthew DeSalle, Christopher Michael Schneider, Wayne Elbert Dixon, Randall Lewis Reed

Publication number: 20110191191Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide techniques for placing “placeholder” bids in an auction associated with online advertising marketplace. Placeholder bids can include bids that are not actually entered or placed in the auction or marketplace. Rather, placeholder bids can include hypothetical bids. Impacts of placeholder bids, should the placeholder bids have been entered or placed as actual bids, can be assessed. An assessment can include assessing an impact on auction and marketplace parameters, an impact on bid or campaign performance, and an impact on downstream parameters such as user behavior, such as associated conversions or purchasing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2010Publication date: August 4, 2011Applicant: Yahoo!

Patent number: 7788277Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for efficient collection and identification of program information contained in a plurality of multimedia transport streams. Requests for program information are matched against incoming program information as they are received from the incoming multimedia transport streams. The processing of the requests and the collection of program information are done asynchronously and simultaneously. This enables processing of program information from forty or more MPEG transport streams in such a way that their collection rate is reduced from several minutes to less than one second.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2003Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: General Instrument CorporationInventors: Randall Lewis Silagi, Yuan-Yuan Young, Guofei Wu
