Abstract: A sample ratio mismatch (SRM) analyzer receives data from an online controlled experiment (OCE) and provides information to help determine a root cause of an SRM. The SRM analyzer may identify one or more segments in the data that include an SRM and may determine whether a triggered scorecard of the OCE includes an SRM. The data may include one or more scorecards. The SRM analyzer may determine whether each scorecard has an SRM. The SRM analyzer may test a difference in proportion of users assigned to treatment between a last scorecard without an SRM and a first scorecard with an SRM. If the difference in proportion is statistically meaningful, the SRM analyzer may determine that the SRM arose after the last scorecard. If the difference in proportions is not statistically meaningful, the SRM analyzer may determine that the SRM existed from a beginning of the OCE.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method for testing the integrity of a package, the apparatus comprising a first volume detecting means for detecting a first volume of the package at a first position; conveying means for moving the package from the first position to a second position downstream from the first position; compression means for providing a compression force on the package; a second volume detecting means for detecting a second volume of the package at the second position; determining means for determining the integrity of the package based upon a change in volume of the package; and rejecting means for removing packages, the integrity of which is determined by the determining means not to be intact, wherein the determining means is in electronic signal communication with each volume detecting means independently, wherein the determining means is in electronic signal communication with the rejecting means, wherein the compression means is located above a portion of the conveying means and w

Abstract: A system for heating conveyors which extend outside a wash tunnel of a carwash utilizes concrete structural slabs with heating apparatus embedded in the slab near a top surface and supported adjacent the conveyor. The heating apparatus can be a hydronic system or an electric heating mat embedded in the slabs which prevents water on the slabs or the conveyor from freezing in low ambient temperature conditions.
