Abstract: Systems and methods including one or more processing modules and one or more non-transitory storage modules storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processing modules and perform acts of receiving a plurality of advertisement creatives for an advertisement campaign, generating first predefined frequency weights for the plurality of advertisement creatives, and coordinating a display of the plurality of advertisement creatives within the impression slot of the webpages displayed to the online users based on the first predefined frequency weights. The first predefined frequency weights include a weighted frequency that each advertisement creative of the plurality of advertisement creatives should be displayed to the online users. A first advertisement creative of the can be displayed more frequently than a second advertisement creative because the first advertisement comprises a first frequency weight that is higher than a second frequency weight of the second advertisement creative.

Abstract: A self-adjusting robot clamping jaw for clamping a hub on a hub coating line to complete transfer can realize certain self-adjustment via rotation of an upper connecting plate around a rotating pin in the clamping process when the wear extents of clamping fingers are inconsistent, and can prevent the phenomena that the hub is clamped obliquely and even a hub brace is bent by lateral force. The clamping fingers made of a soft material can prevent damaging the surface coating and can be convenient to replace.

Abstract: A system and method for estimating geographical demand for new items is presented. A system can include one or more processing modules and one more non-transitory storage modules. Information is received about existing SKUs and associated attributes. Demand is determined by geographic zone. When a new SKU is added, geographic demand for the new SKU is estimated using the attributes of the new SKU. The new SKU can be allocated according to the estimation. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method of reallocating inventory in a fulfillment network is disclosed herein. The fulfillment network can include a plurality of distribution centers. An allocation plan can be created in a one of a variety of different manners, where the allocation plan involves allocating an item to one or more distribution centers in the fulfillment network. Thereafter, the allocation plan can be analyzed for feasibility. If the allocation plan is not feasible, each distribution center in the allocation plan can be analyzed to determine if using the distribution center is feasible. If the distribution center cannot be used, another distribution in the same cluster of distribution centers is examined for feasibility. This process is repeated for each distribution center in the allocation plan. Once an alternative allocation plan has been developed in this maimer, items can be allocated. Existing inventory can be taken into account in the allocation plan.

Abstract: A system and method for selecting an deployment of goods for shipping purposes is presented. An affinity network representing the deployment of goods is created. A first and second set of goods in the affinity network are created, the first set of goods representing an initial set of goods to be placed in a first location and the second set of goods representing a set of goods that are constrained to be placed in a second location. An objective function is iteratively operated to determine an optimum deployment of goods between the first location and second location. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Various examples of methods and systems for prioritizing identifier in cost-based inventory allocation are described. In one implementation, a method may determine a shipping cost sensitivity of each identifier of a plurality of identifiers of a plurality of items in an inventory, the shipping cost sensitivity of each identifier related to sales volume, billable weight and shipping zone associated with the respective identifier. The method may also rank the plurality of identifiers based at least in part on the shipping cost sensitivity of each identifier. The method may further determine an order of allocation of the inventory of the plurality of items based at least in part on the ranking of the plurality of identifiers.

Abstract: A method for computing a demand probability for one or more products. The method can include establishing one or more similarities between one or more regional segments and combining the one or more regional segments into one or more clusters based on the one or more similarities. The method can also include executing one or more computer instructions on one or more processors for determining a demand probability distribution across the one or more clusters for the one or more products based on historical data and delivering the one or more products to the one or more clusters based on the demand probability distribution.

Abstract: A method of determining an inventory mirroring plan for a set of distinct items in a heterogeneous fulfillment network is presented. The fulfillment network can include a plurality of distribution centers, each distribution center having differing capabilities. The method can include determining a solution value of the number of clusters for each distinct item that minimizes a sum of a total shipping cost of each distinct item, subject to a total distinct item capacity of the plurality of distribution centers in the fulfillment network. The method can further include using a probability of the item being placed in a specific distribution center based on either the capacity of the distribution center or historical data. The probability can be used to stock items. Overages and deficits can be used to further refine the distribution. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of determining an inventory mirroring plan for a set of distinct items in a fulfillment network. The fulfillment network can include a plurality of distribution centers. The method can include determining, for each distinct item of the set of distinct items and for each demand zone of a set of demand zones, a location-specific demand. The method also can include determining, for each of a number of clusters ranging from 1 to a predetermined maximum number of clusters, a k-cluster profile that partitions the plurality of distribution centers in the fulfillment network into k distribution center clusters. The method further can include determining, for each of the number of clusters and for each demand zone of the set of demand zones, a closest distribution center cluster of the k distribution center clusters that is nearest to the demand zone.

Abstract: This invention discloses methods for implementing a flash translation layer in a computer subsystem comprising a flash memory and a random access memory (RAM). According to one disclosed method, the flash memory comprises data blocks for storing real data and translation blocks for storing address-mapping information. The RAM includes a cache space allocation table and a translation page mapping table. The cache space allocation table may be partitioned into a first cache space and a second cache space. Upon receiving an address-translating request, the cache space allocation table is searched to identify if an address-mapping data structure that matches the request is present. If not, the translation blocks are searched for the matched address-mapping data structure, where the physical page addresses for accessing the translation blocks are provided by the translation page mapping table. The matched address-translating data structure is also used to update the cache space allocation table.
