  • Publication number: 20220301028
    Abstract: Techniques for network portal search and aggregation. A merchant is identified based on a request received from a communication device associated with a user. A communication network is searched for portals relating to the identified merchant, and a plurality of portals are identified. A first portal is selected, from the plurality of portals. A server initiates, using a computer processor, a session with the first portal. This includes transmitting to the first portal one or more aggregate identifiers that identify both the user and the server. It is determined that the user is entitled to a fulfillment based on the user completing a transaction with the merchant using the first portal. The fulfillment is provided to the user.

  • Publication number: 20220287238
    Abstract: Lawnmowers are provided. A lawnmower includes a seat configured to receive a lawnmower operator; a mowing deck having one or more cutting implements and a discharge chute; and a bagging system in fluid communication with the discharge chute through a tube, wherein the lawnmower has a first configuration when the tube is coupled to the lawnmower, wherein the lawnmower has a second configuration when the tube is not coupled to the lawnmower, wherein the tube is disposed at a lateral side of the lawnmower in the first configuration, wherein the lawnmower defines a maximum lateral width in a lateral direction, and wherein the lateral width is less than 38 inches in both the first configuration and the second configuration.

  • Publication number: 20110167985
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multiple, in particular two-fold, releasable clutch (5), which can be closed via an intermediate position without a drummer having to use a foot. The clutch (5) is connected with at least an upper cymbal and further is formed with at least a first lever (1) and a second lever (2). A releasing of the first lever (1) causes a falling of the clutch (5) into an intermediate position, in which the upper cymbal (9) and a lower cymbal (10) are arranged in a half-closed position. By actuating the second lever (2), the clutch (5) can be arranged in an end position, wherein in the end position the upper cymbal (9) and the lower cymbal (10) are in a closed state.

  • Publication number: 20100320211
    Abstract: A waste bin to collect litter and recyclables is disclosed. The waste bin includes a waste bin body, a waste bin lid mounted to the waste bin body, and a liner access opening between the waste bin lid and a waste bin base of the waste bin body. The waste bin base includes a litter liner recess to receive a litter liner projection from a litter liner and to align the litter liner with a litter lid opening of the waste bin lid. The waste bin base also includes a recyclables liner recess to receive a recyclables liner projection from the recyclables liner and to align the recyclables liner with a recyclables lid opening of the waste bin lid. A method of recycling is also disclosed in which the waste bins are deployed at facilities and at least a portion of the costs associated with the waste bins are paid by financial sponsors.

  • Patent number: 7739098
    Abstract: Static timing analysis attempts to exhaustively analyze all critical paths of a design. With ever decreasing geometries and ever increasing design complexity, manually identifying timing violations with standard static timing analysis can be very complex and time consuming. A static timing analysis tool can advantageously manage multiple runs having different modes and corners and automatically merge the results generated by the runs. The STA tool can perform the runs either in parallel or in series. Advantageously, the STA tool can save the full timing analysis generated by each run and then extract information from these saved results to form merged results for the design. These merged results can provide different levels of analysis coverage, supply path information at various levels of detail, allow selectable accessibility to information, and highlight propagation of timing changes/violations in the design.
