Abstract: A shoring end section assembly is described which may allow increased strength, increased longevity, and ease of use. The end section assembly may be comprised of a through-wall tube that is substantially hollow, and a connection assembly comprised of one or more through-wall tubular coupling assemblies. Each through-wall tubular coupling assembly may be comprised of a hollow through-wall tubular coupling which extends through the through-wall tube, a spreader stop disposed inside the hollow through-wall tubular coupling, a through-wall collar disposed between the hollow through-wall tubular coupling and the through-wall tube, a tubular coupling pin washer plate, and a tubular coupling collar disposed around the proximal end of the tubular coupling. Each through-wall tubular coupling assembly may have a transverse rigidifying member extending between them, and a notched angle brace assembly may be attached to the lowest through-wall tubular coupling assembly.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for submitting a network proxy bid and replacing the network proxy bid with an actual bid associated with advertisement placement are described. In some implementations, instead of submitting a static bid, an advertiser can submit a network proxy bid to an advertising exchange. A network proxy bid can indicate to the advertising exchange that the advertiser wishes to receive a call back from the advertising exchange when an impression matching targeting criteria specified by the advertiser becomes available. The advertiser then can calculate and submit an actual static bid to replace the network proxy bid in response to the call back.

Abstract: An underwater electrical connection assembly is provided, where the assembly includes (1) a contact pin including an axially extending conductive core and an axially extending annular insolation portion around the conductive core, (2) a front end portion of the conductive core having an electrical contact surface, (3) a rear end portion of the conductive core having an electrical contact surface, and (4) an intermediate portion of the conductive core extending axially at an intermediate location between the front and rear end portions. In the assembly, the rear end portion of the conductive core of the pin includes a diameter larger than the diameter of the intermediate portion thereof, and the annular insulation portion includes an inner insulating layer around the intermediate portion of the conductive core and an insulating sleeve around the inner insulating layer.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for assembly of a planetary gear drive, wherein the gear drive includes a ring gear, a sun gear, and a plurality of planet gears engaged with the ring gear and sun gear. The method includes mounting the planet gears within a carrier, with the planet gears freely rotatable relative to the carrier. A gear alignment tool is inserted through a bore in a front face of the carrier and is used to index the planet gears into an aligned rotational position for proper subsequent engagement with the ring gear and sun gear.

Abstract: A computerized method, system for, and computer-readable medium operable to: initiate an algorithmic model with a query. The method comprises sending a match-coding request using the query in the algorithmic model. Use the match-coding request to identify a first identifier (ID) from a first domain. The method comprises mapping the first ID from the first domain in a same browser to a matching second ID in a second domain. The method comprises returning the matched IDs to at least one domain owner associated with the match-coding request.

Abstract: A system for selecting and delivering content items includes a primary system and a secondary system. Each system includes a server and a datastore of content items that is accessible by the server. The primary system receives a request for a content item, selects an appropriate content item from the primary datastore, and sends a query containing information regarding the selected content item to the secondary system. The secondary system receives the query, searches the secondary datastore, and determines whether to deliver the content item contained in the query, another content item, a default content item, or a pass-back to the requester.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses to match content providers and interested content users are described. Input indicating an accessing of a network location by a user is received along with the user's identifier. The identifier is obfuscated and transmitted to a content provider configured to provide content to the user at the network location. A re-direct identifier is transmitted to the user instructing the user to directly contact the content provider. When the user contacts the content provider, the user transmits a provider-specific identifier by which the content provider identifies the user and the obfuscated user identifier. The content provider updates a database of obfuscated user identifiers and provider-specific user identifiers based on the received identifiers. Thus, the content provider is enabled to identify interested users based on obfuscated and provider-specific user identifiers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting bids based upon differential buying channels. A first buying channel and a second buying channel for an advertisement can be compared. If a revenue share from the first buying channel and second buying channel differ, the bid for the advertisement on the buying channel with the higher revenue share can be discounted based upon the difference. A winning bid can be identified using the discounted bid and the bid associated with the lower of the two revenue shares.

Abstract: The seamsaver is a recess creating device available in one of three embodiments. Each embodiment is designed to prevent the potential ridging and crowning of butt joint seams in different situations. The first embodiment comprises a rectangular panel with a single elongate ridge attached on the front face, vertically centered and horizontally to one side. A second embodiment is identical to the first except that it has an additional ridge attached on the same face but opposite side. The ridge may be formed by an elongate rectangular block, a channel, or an angle, the channel and the angle having a wedge-shaped flange attached to the front face of the rectangular panel. The third embodiment has no ridges but comprises an elongated rectangular block of wood with a uniform, elongated dip running length-wise which is used to create an elongated recess running along the seam instead of across the seam.

Abstract: An SNMP trap daemon in a distributed network management system is enhanced by improving the flexibility of the filtering functions to allow more generality in matching trap information for CMIP conversion and more specificity in determining how traps are forwarded to other managers and mapped to CMIP events. Filtering is added to the trap forwarding mechanism so that specific traps can be routed to specific managers. The format of a mapping file is also modified to allow type conversion and string concatenation of values in the incoming traps. This modification allows improved matching capabilities in CMIP conversion. The format is further modified to allow “wildcard” matching so that a separate entry is not needed for each incoming trap.
