  • Patent number: 10482494
    Abstract: Connections (e.g., click-throughs) for online campaigns are steered. A plurality of UIOs and parameters for configuring a campaign (e.g., advertisement campaign) for the plurality of UIOs is received. UIOs comparable to each of the plurality of UIOs of the campaign are automatically identified and displayed in as an array of options that can be selected for more detailed information. A distribution of connections is predicted from resulting from displays for the plurality of UIOs of the campaign, based on historical information of connections for the identified comparable UIOs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 1, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 19, 2019

  • Patent number: 9502171
    Abstract: An inductor includes an inductor body having a top surface and a first and second opposite end surfaces. There is a void through the inductor body between the first and second opposite end surfaces. A thermally stable resistive element positioned through the void and turned toward the top surface to forms surface mount terminals which can be used for Kelvin type sensing. Where the inductor body is formed of a ferrite, the inductor body includes a slot. The resistive element may be formed of a punched resistive strip and provide for a partial turn or multiple turns. The inductor may be formed of a distributed gap magnetic material formed around the resistive element. A method for manufacturing the inductor includes positioning an inductor body around a thermally stable resistive element such that terminals of the thermally stable resistive element extend from the inductor body.

  • Patent number: 7921942
    Abstract: An amphibious all terrain vehicle having a body and at least three wheel and axle assemblies on each side and a pair of ground engaging track assemblies which are mounted on tires on either side of the vehicle. Each of the wheel and axle assemblies include an axle shaft supported by and positioned transverse to the vehicle body so that the wheel and axle assemblies form a front assembly, a rear assembly and at least one middle assembly. Each of the axle shafts has an axle extension with the axle extensions of the front and rear wheel and axle assemblies being fixed extensions and the axle extensions on at least the middle assemblies are idler axle extensions to permit the wheels on such assemblies to move in a free wheeling mode relative to their respective axle shafts.
