Patent number: 12047432Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer storage media, for adaptively routing web traffic. A system can receive from a user computing device accessing a web resource, a content request, including data characterizing user interaction by the user computing device with the web resource before or after receiving the first content request. The system can identify a policy from a plurality of policies to execute in accordance with one or more objectives, wherein the plurality of policies are generated using data from a plurality of content requests and data characterizing user interaction with the web resource after serving a respective response to each of the plurality of content requests. The system can perform, in response to the content request, one or more actions of the ranked list of actions of the identified policy.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2023Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Button, Inc.Inventors: Sean Joey Summers, Christopher James Maddern, Keith Austin Johnson

Patent number: 11753895Abstract: A multipurpose latch assembly (MPLA) for installation above the bore of a blowout preventer includes an annular sidewall extending between a top flange and a bottom flange and having an interior bore surface defining an interior bore. A plurality of latching slots extend through the sidewall and a latching dog is slidably positioned in each latching slot. Actuators are connected to the latching dogs to extend and retract them through the latching slots. A tool having an external slot can be inserted into the bore of the MPLA and selectively engaged by the latching dogs to secure the tool in the bore of above the blowout preventer.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: ADS Services, LLCInventors: Charles Orbell, Christian Leuchtenberg, Sean Austin Alley

Patent number: 8857621Abstract: A material separation system includes a separation screen and an air directing device positioned above the separation screen. The separation screen has at least one rotating shaft, wherein the separation screen transports the relatively rigid material and relatively flexible material to the rotating shaft. The air directing device directs air towards the separation screen such that the relatively flexible material is blown beneath the rotating shaft in a first material stream, wherein the relatively rigid material continues on the separation screen past the rotating shaft in a second material stream.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2010Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Emerging Acquisitions, LLCInventors: Dane Campbell, Sean Austin, Engel Visscher

Patent number: 8430249Abstract: Multiple shafts are aligned along a frame and configured to rotate in a direction causing paper products to move along a separation screen. The shafts are configured with a shape and spacing so that substantially rigid pieces of the paper products move along the screen while non-rigid pieces of the paper products slide down between adjacent shafts. In one embodiment, the screen includes at least one vacuum shaft that has a first set of air input holes configured to suck air and retain the non-rigid paper products. A second set of air output holes are configured to blow out air to dislodge the paper products retained by the input holes.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2010Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Emerging Acquisitions, LLCInventors: Engel Visscher, Sean Austin
