Patent number: 10643258Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for determining pricing and availability of e-commerce entities. The determination includes accessing a web page that includes an entity of interest and generating a visual map representation of the web page that includes elements related to the entity's pricing/availability and stylistic identifiers that are applied to those elements. Stylistic identifiers are pricing/availability identifiers based on stylistic heuristics. Certain elements are identified as candidate elements and a likelihood that a candidate element is pricing/availability element of the entity is determined for the candidate elements. A candidate element is selected as the pricing/availability element of the entity by analyzing the determined likelihood of various candidate elements.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2015Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: KEEP HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Scott Philip Kurnit, Charles Myslinsky, Ryan Quigley, Mark Tozzi, Scott Craig Germaise

Patent number: 10521851Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for fulfilling orders for multiple entities located on websites with distinct entity checkout systems with a single user input. The process for fulfilling orders for two entities includes receiving a first indication to purchase a first entity and a second indication to purchase a second entity, where the first entity is associated with a first retailer and the second entity is associated with a second retailer. The method also includes extracting information associated with the first and second entities from the respective web pages where the entities are available for purchase, and receiving a user input to initiate order fulfillment. The method further includes checking the availability of the entities at their respective retailers and providing alternate entities and/or retailers, if applicable. The method is completed by deploying fulfillment agents and purchase agents for completing the transactions.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2015Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: KEEP HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Scott Philip Kurnit, Charles Myslinsky, Ryan Quigley, Scott Craig Germaise

Patent number: 9981784Abstract: A manway cover assembly can be used to control access to the interior of a railroad tank car or other type of tank or structure. The manway cover assembly can have a tightening system, such as a screw tightening system and an attachment system. The attachment system can have a ledge configured to engage a flange that surrounds an opening. A cover can control access to the opening. The tightening system can secure the ledge to the flange and lock the cover over the opening. A manway cover assembly can also be used for selectively sealing an access passageway of a tank. The manway cover assembly can have an internal seal that remains sealed independent of movement between the cover and the opening within a set range of movement.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2016Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: BAIER MARINE COMPANY, INC.Inventor: Ronald Scott Craig

Patent number: 9931482Abstract: A seal for a gas treatment hood assembly is disclosed. The hood assembly is placeable over a user's head for treating a user with a gas such as oxygen. The assembly may have a neck ring around a user's neck with an elastomeric, tubular neck seal with one end of the neck seal connected to the neck ring and the other end configured to fit around the user's neck. The neck seal may have a double sealing element construction and may also have variable thickness along a sidewall for enhanced structural properties and improved patient comfort. The seal and hood assembly may be used in providing oxygen to a patient in a hyperbaric chamber.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Amron International, Inc.Inventors: Scott Craig Ritchie, Christopher Eames Woolley
