  • Patent number: 11023933
    Abstract: The present technology is directed to a system and methods for estimating the impinging elements and traffic paths by an advertisement as it is delivered from its originating ad server to the web server from which the webpage including the advertisement is delivered to an end viewer. The methods are server-based and provide output to a viewer's browser upon receiving a web page as input and yield data for a particular advertisement frame about the various intermediate processes used to deliver the advertisement, for example, frames, pixels, advertisement servers, advertisement networks, advertisement tags, advertisement exchanges, cookies, supply side distribution systems, demand side buying systems, etc.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10737924
    Abstract: The manway cover tool comprises a ‘T’-shaped handle with a clamp coupled to the bottom of the handle. The clamp may be fastened to the cover handle of a manway cover and the manway cover tool may assist in the removal and replacement of the manway cover. A vertical armature of the ‘T’-shaped handle may pivot just above the clamp so that the height of the ‘T’-shaped handle may be reduced in confined work areas. A magnetic attachment may couple to the clamp and allow the manway cover tool to attach to manway covers with no handle. A ‘J’ hook attachment may couple to the clamp and allow the tool to attach to covers with incompatible or no handle. A support bracket may couple to the ‘T’-handle and provide additional stability and leverage.

  • Patent number: 10068250
    Abstract: A system and methods for simulating human usage of mobile devices by simulating human behavior patterns operating mobile devices and using the simulation of human usage to obtain advertising or other online content specific to certain entities that is displayed on the mobile devices. The advertising or other online content specific to the certain entities is transmitted to an analytics server, where the advertising or other online content is interpreted and deciphered to obtain particular elements that relate to the advertising and online content including, but not limited to, an identification of the specific entity, the size of the advertising or other online content, the locations where the advertising or other online content appears, and the path by which the advertising or other online content travels to the mobile devices for display.

  • Publication number: 20170316465
    Abstract: A system and methods for creating an instant interactive visualization and providing a display of what an advertisement may appear as on any published web page. In some implementations, the system and methods provide an ad-context visualization and mock-up tool that enables a user to view mock-up representations of one or more advertisements and show prospective or current advertising clients with ease what a particular advertisement will ultimately appear as in a context specified by a user.

  • Publication number: 20080111401
    Abstract: A portable platform usable as a seat having at least three outwardly-inclined legs and a seat supported thereby is provided. The legs have nestable sections, an uppermost portion of each leg being attachable to an underside of the platform. The legs are maintained in biased relationship by an elastic cord or cable which extends between the platform and a lowermost section of the legs. The elastic cord or cable extends through each section of the legs, and is tensioned such that the sections may be separated from one another and folded onto an uppermost surface of said platform for storage. An extendable back-supporting member is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20040011090
    Abstract: A backflow prevention device for use with a conventional washing machine system that is uniquely designed to automatically disrupt the power to the washing machine should the drain line leading from the washing machine become clogged. The backflow prevention device includes an internally mounted micro switch that is operably interconnected with a portable ground fault circuit interrupter plug that is connected to a duplex outlet. The washing machine is connected to the ground fault circuit interrupter plug so that, upon being actuated, the micro switch will cause a low voltage default to be sent to the ground fault circuit interrupter which triggers it in a manner to automatically cause an interruption of power to the washing machine.
