Publication number: 20250315606Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for assigning mobile message recipients to templates of a mobile message. One method includes generating at least a first template of the mobile message and a second template of the mobile message, each of the first template and the second template having at least a different content or a different send time, determining information associated with the mobile message, identifying and sending guidance for a marketing manager based on the information associated with the mobile message, receiving user-selected configurations from the marketing manager in response to the guidance, and assigning a first group of mobile message recipients to the first template of the mobile message and a second respective group of mobile message recipients to the second template of the mobile message, wherein the assigning is based on the information associated with the mobile message and the user-selected configurations received from the marketing manager.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2025Publication date: October 9, 2025Applicant: Klaviyo, IncInventors: Michael T. Lawson, Woody Austin, Ally Hangartner, Carola Leiva, Nicholas Hartmann, Thomas Culp, Justin Xu, Maritza Ebling

Patent number: 12412181Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for testing templates of electronic messages. One method includes continuously sending, by a server, a main electronic message, wherein at least a content of the main electronic message is determined by a main message template, creating a plurality of test templates including at least an A template and a B template, initiating, by the server, testing of test electronic messages, wherein at least a content of one test electronic message is determined by the A template, and at least the content of another of the test electronic message is determined by the B template, wherein editing of the test electronic messages occurs simultaneous with the continuous sending of the main electronic message, and selecting, by the server, a winning template of the A template and the B template.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2023Date of Patent: September 9, 2025Assignee: Klaviyo, IncInventors: Woody T. Austin, Nicholas Hartmann, Carola Leiva, Justin Xu, Mohammad Suffian Bin Hamzah, Xuemeng Sun, Nikhil Bhaip, Thomas Culp

Publication number: 20230416845Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to methods, compositions, and kits useful for detecting a multiplicity of bacterial genomes present in a sample (e.g., a biological sample obtained from a subject exhibiting one or more signs or symptoms of a bacterial infection). Specifically, the present disclosure relates to nucleic acid primers, primer sets, and multiplicities of primer sets that allow for broad (e.g., species non-specific) detection of bacterial genomes present in such a sample using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2021Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: Day Zero Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: Imaly A. Nanayakkara, Thomas Culp, Chiahao Tsui, Douglas S. Kwon

Publication number: 20230409821Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for automated testing of templates of a mobile message. One method includes generating at least a first template of the mobile message and a second template of the mobile message, each of the first template and the second template having at least a different content or a different send time, assigning a respective group of mobile message recipients to the first template of the mobile message and the second template of the mobile message, determining automatically whether the first template of the mobile message has a statistical advantage over the second template of the mobile message through testing, and sending the mobile message of the first template to a remainder of the planned mobile message recipients when the first template of the mobile message is determined to have the statistical advantage over the second template of the mobile message.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: Klaviyo, IncInventors: Michael T.

Patent number: 6655807Abstract: An extensible outside rearview mirror for a vehicle includes a spring-clamped slide mechanism that ensures a zero clearance fit between sliding components to avoid vibration. Bearing members between the sliding components reduce friction and provide a consistent reaction force to ensure smooth operation of an actuator mechanism which extends or retracts the mirror assembly along a support arm. The slide mechanism includes V-shaped guiderails vertically aligned with opposing V-shaped guiderails on the mounting bracket assembly. Rod-like bearing means are interposed between the opposing guiderail pairs. A cantilever clamp jaw with spring means biases one guiderail toward the other with a high spring force which provides superior rigidity and thus enhanced mirror image clarity.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2002Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Delbar Products, Inc.Inventors: John S. McPherson, Thomas Culp, Cory Brechbill, Keith Fitzgerald
