  • Publication number: 20240125180
    Abstract: A mobile drilling rig is configured to drill boreholes into the ground about a drill site. To assist navigating the mobile drilling rig and other machines about the drill site, a material pile mapping system can be included that includes the borehole locations and an estimated material pile dimension associated with a material pile formed about the borehole from material removed during drilling of the borehole. The material pile dimension can be estimated from an estimated material pile volume of the material removed from the borehole.

  • Patent number: 11713217
    Abstract: An anti-rotation device for suspending a load under a machine for lifting and moving this load includes a sling system provided with a fastener to the machine. It further includes a spreader beam, having a main longitudinal axis and a yaw rotation vertical transverse axis, including: a system for upper fastening to the sling system so it can be suspended in a substantially horizontal arrangement of its main longitudinal axis and free about its vertical transverse axis under the machine using the sling system; a system for lower fastening to the load, allowing driving of the load by the spreader beam about its vertical transverse axis. The spreader beam includes a propulsion unig disposed in such a way as to engage its rotation, selectively in one direction or in the other, about its vertical transverse axis when it is suspended from the machine via the sling system.

  • Patent number: 11113734
    Abstract: Techniques for generating leads for consumers using IoT devices at brick-and-mortar stores are provided. A retailer can determine a consumer's level of interest in a product and provide information or other benefits to the consumer. In some embodiments, sensor data from at least one of one or more consumer devices or IoT devices are received, the sensor data being indicative of interaction of a consumer with a product. One or more interactions of the consumer with the product are determined based on the received sensor data. An interaction database is searched for an interaction mapped to specific sensor data requirements matching the received sensor data. A leads score is calculated based on the one or more interactions, the leads score indicating an interest level of the consumer in the product. When the leads score exceeds a threshold, a lead is generated for the consumer.

  • Patent number: 10902498
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to providing targeted content related to sentiment associated with products. In one embodiment, an item is detected as being positioned in a physical shopping cart at a first time, the physical shopping cart being use by a user having a user device. At a second time after the first time, the item is detected as being removed from the physical shopping cart. Based on detecting the item as being removed from the physical shopping cart, content related to the item is provided to the user device of the user, the content intended to result in the user purchasing the item.

  • Patent number: 10778622
    Abstract: An interactive email experience is customized to the recipient's interests by modifying rich media components provided by the email based on the recipient's interactions with other rich media components from the email. To facilitate the interactive email experience, rich media components are provided by a marketer for an email campaign with mapping information mapping product features to portions of the rich media components. When an email is sent with links to the rich media components, the recipient's interactions with a rich media component is tracked. Product features are ranked based on the recipient's interactions with various portions corresponding with the various product features. The product feature rankings are then used to modify other rich media components from the email to emphasize portions of the other rich media components corresponding with product features of interest to the recipient.

  • Patent number: 10620804
    Abstract: Certain embodiments involve optimizing how interactive content is arranged in electronic communications. A processor identifies a subject matter type associated with first and second online content items having respective first and second presentation types. The processor determines that a client has previously interacted more extensively with online content having the subject matter type and the first presentation type as compared to other online content having the subject matter type and the second presentation type. The processor selects a layout for an electronic communication for accessing the online content items based on determining that the client interacted more extensively with online content having the first presentation type. The layout displays a first portion for accessing the first online content item more prominently than a second portion for accessing the second online content item. The processor presents the layout via an interface for editing the electronic communication.

  • Patent number: 10430807
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein score leads by determining and applying a scoring rule based on lead participation in an activity. This involves a processor of a computing device receiving information on participation in the activity by prior leads that resulted in conversions or rejections. A scoring rule is determined for the activity by assigning a score to the activity based on the information on participation in the activity by the prior leads that resulted in the conversions or the rejections. A new lead is scored using the scoring rule by assigning the new lead the score based on participation by the new lead in the activity. The scoring of the new lead can be used in various ways. In one example, the score of the new lead is used to determine to send a communication to the new lead.

  • Patent number: 10366400
    Abstract: Methods score users to determine if they will receive marketing communications sent to users on a subscription list. One method calculates an un-subscription score for a user based on: a degree of sentiment determined by identifying user interaction with a web page and assessing content of the interaction for indications of sentiment; or a degree of sentiment determined by identifying a user communication and assessing its content for indications of sentiment. Responsive to determining that the un-subscription score exceeds a threshold, the method excludes the user when sending the marketing communication to users on the subscription list. Another method calculates a degree of sentiment based on user interactions with a page and user communications, and calculates the user's un-subscription score based on the degree of sentiment. Responsive to comparing the un-subscription score with a threshold, the method excludes the user when sending the marketing communication to users on the list.
