Publication number: 20140258016Abstract: Example methods and systems are directed to generating recommendations based on one or more user inventories, which may be stored in a database. The inventory may include items (e.g., physical goods, electronic goods, and financial assets) owned by a user. A machine may use the database to provide suggestions to the user to buy or sell items. The machine may also use the database to provide suggestions to the user to join a community. The database may be used in conjunction with an electronic commerce site. The machine may be aware of which items in the site are being viewed by the user. The recommendation made by the machine may take into account the item being viewed. The user may be able to view the current market value for each item individually, the total value for a selection of items, or the total value for all items.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2013Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: EBAY INC.Inventors: Tyler James Hale, Nishant Asthana, Michael J.

Publication number: 20110180282Abstract: A frame attachment and link between a materials moving implement, for example a dozer blade, and a vehicle for instance a conventional farm tractor which enables the operator to laterally adjust and raise and lower the dozer blade a substantial distance and yet is relatively easily connected and disconnected with the vehicle. The attachment described herein is a U-shaped frame having a front end including a central pivot attachment point at the base of the U, and several hydraulic attachment points which permit the lateral movement of the dozer blade relative to the vehicle. The U-shaped frame defines an opening which is large enough to accommodate the front frame and body of the of the tractor or vehicle so that the U-shaped frame when in a raised position, encompasses within the opening the front frame and body of the vehicle so that there is sufficient vertical articulation of the dozer blade without interference from the vehicle body.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2010Publication date: July 28, 2011Applicant: Degelman Industries LTD.Inventors: Cory Allan Reavie, Tyler James Sakundiak

Patent number: 7665056Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, system, and computer program product for dynamic placement of various bond fingers on an integrated circuit (IC) package. This is achieved by determining the placement of selected bond fingers. Subsequently, bond fingers and bond wires are identified, which have been affected due to the placement of the selected bond fingers. Further, the placement of the selected and the affected bond fingers is determined based on clearance rules and the affected bond fingers and bond wires. This facilitates the dynamic placement of the various bond fingers in interaction with the user. Further, the user is provided with full interactive access and control over the method and system.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2006Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Cadence Design Systems, Inc.Inventors: Tyler James Lockman, James A.
