  • Patent number: 11978091
    Abstract: The technology generally relates to automatically associating products and services to be advertised in response to a search query and providing sponsored advertisements for output with the search query results on a publisher's website or mobile application. An ad advertiser may create an ad campaign for products without including or identifying keywords associated with the product. Upon receiving a request for an advertisement, an ad server may generate synonyms, or keywords, for the terms in the request. The ad server generated keywords may be used to identify available products that match, or are relevant to, the search query. The ad server may determine a quality of the match and, based on the quality, determine which products are most relevant to the search query. The ad server may solicit bids from the advertisers of the relevant ad campaigns. The winning ads may be returned to the publisher for output.

  • Publication number: 20040257685
    Abstract: A single construct mirror within a mirror is provided for use in enhancing the safe operation of motor vehicles by eliminating “blind spots.” Such construct includes a secondary mirror formed within a primary mirror by the removal of or formation of a concave indentation on the rear surface of a generally flat sheet of glass, plastic or other suitable material. Such sheet may then be mirrored by silvering the rear surface including the concave indentation. The front reflective surfaces of both mirrors are generally flat and co-planar.

  • Patent number: 6202224
    Abstract: A portable container for disposing of liquid waste products is disclosed having an expandable container into which an impermeable liner is inserted. The liner is secured to the container to prevent spillage and leaks. Furthermore, a water soluble gel pack is placed in the liner such that when a liquid waste product is deposited into the liner, the water soluble gel pack dissolves and the gel powder contained therein reacts with the liquid waste product thereby transforming it into a gel form, a solidified waste product, for easy disposal. The liner containing the solidified waste product is removed from the expandable container and disposed of by conventional means, enabling in the expandable container to be reused with a new liner and water soluble gel pack.

  • Patent number: 4735307
    Abstract: A projectile holder uses assemblies which provide projectile locking and projectile extracting. Each assembly has a control rod with a pivotably mounted spring-biased extractor member mounted thereon for extracting a projectile. The control rod, which is spring-biased backwardly, operates a cam and a locking shoe to clampingly secure a projectile within the holder. The holder allows both front and rear loading of a projectile.
