20120130814 | System and method for search engine result ranking - Search engine reliance on link-based ranking algorithms has been shown to delay the visibility of fresh content added to the World Wide Web (Web), relative to established content. Fresh content abstracts are randomly inserted into top ranked search results to achieve more even visibility coverage of the Web and improve overall search quality. Searcher behavior is monitored to infer a rank for the fresh content, and for established content. Rank that is so inferred is termed “ResultRank.” ResultRank is used to compliment link-based ranking schemes to improve web visibility and avoid a bias toward established links. Searcher satisfaction is monitored during this process since the quality of fresh content is unknown. A search engine extended enterprise metric (R metric) is introduced and designed to monitor aggregate searcher satisfaction. ResultRank and the R metric are used to complement existing ranking and pricing algorithms for sponsored results as well. | 05-24-2012 |
20140129539 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERSONALIZED SEARCH - Personalization of Internet search is effected through the use of ResultRank and searcher selected profile attributes and searcher selected query context attributes. These attributes are also referred to as hats (worn by the searcher). Searcher privacy is maintained by allowing limited use of a searcher's profile by the search engine. Query language interpretation is improved by capture and use of searcher behavior and hat selection, in past search sessions, without storage of individual profile or context information. ResultRank is maintained and adjusted, on a per hat basis such that future, similarly hatted searchers benefit from these past sessions. An average of ResultRank, across searcher selected hats, is utilized for improved SERP ranking Recognition of QLP's is improved by use of the hats. Custom support of public and private language community circles is incorporated. The technique is applied to organic as well as sponsored results. Steps are taken to minimize the impact of any attempt to artificially adjust ResultRank. | 05-08-2014 |

The delivery catheter includes a shaft having a pre-determined curve profile at a distal end of the delivery catheter. The pre-determined curve profile generally corresponds to the curve of the bottom surface of the aortic arch. The shaft may be eccentric to the expandable member such that retraction of the shaft causes a distal tip to be parallel within the ascending aorta. | 05-09-2013 |

20140259993 | STRUCTURAL CONNECTION MECHANISMS FOR PROVIDING DISCONTINUOUS ELASTIC BEHAVIOR IN STRUCTURAL FRAMING SYSTEMS - A structural frame for a building includes first structural members and second structural members, with a discontinuous elastic zone at locations where the first and second structural members are coupled and through which a load passes therebetween. Discontinuous elastic zone connections couple the first and second structural members and are configured to provide elasticity in the structural frame and dampen the effects of transient loads on the structural frame. Each discontinuous elastic zone connection includes faying surfaces opposing each other, fastening devices configured to secure respective first and second structural members, and a compression element positioned on each fastening device configured to act in combination with a fastening device to regulate movement of the faying surfaces relative to each other, and thus regulate the behavior of the discontinuous elastic zone connection resulting from loads applied by first and second structural members on opposing sides of a respective discontinuous elastic zone. | 09-18-2014 |

20080271889 | METHOD OF ISOLATING OPEN PERFORATIONS IN HORIZONTAL WELLBORES USING AN ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT PROPPANT - An improved method for building a plug in a horizontal wellbore using a fluid pill pumped into the wellbore at the end of a fracturing treatment. The fluid pill includes a high concentration of an ultra lightweight proppant, such as a neutrally buoyant proppant or an ultra lightweight proppant mixture. The fluid pill is pumped down the wellbore until it almost reaches fractures within a zone of interest. The pumping is then ceased or reduced, allowing the fractures to partially close. The ultra lightweight proppant remains suspended within the fluid pill while stationary. The pumping is then resumed at a very slow rate or as a short pump burst, thus causing the proppant in the fluid pill to bridge off until a bridge plug is formed. | 11-06-2008 |

20130037768 | Portable hoist for hand trucks - A portable hoist adapted for attachment to a hand truck nose plate is disclosed. The hoist comprises an adapter that sandwiches the nose plate, and a hole or holes may be fabricated in the nose plate for securing hardware to be installed, such as a bolt, bolts, strap, etc. Receivers on the hoist hold removable, load supportive legs securely in place. Casters may be attached to legs to improve mobility. A jib assembly capable of several height settings remains reasonably level at all times when in use, making it ideal for tight spaces. The pivot point of the arm is at end of the mast opposite the adapter assembly, the other end attaching to the handle of the hand truck and securing with a latch. A winch attached to the arm provides a cable extending to and about a sheave or sheaves, terminating beyond the sheave carried at the free end of the jib boom. A brace on the mast allows the arm latch to secure when the arm is collapsed. The jib assembly folds downward with a brake to hold the boom reasonably parallel to the mast. A cable securing hook is attached to the mast, and with slight tension on the cable, the latch brace and cable hook enable the hoist to be carried about easily, utilizing the boom as a handle. | 02-14-2013 |

20120084198 | Method and System for ACH Debit Delayed Availability - A server includes a memory that stores a plurality of availability schedules, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor is operable to access an automated clearing house (ACH) debit transaction received at an originating depository financial institution (ODFI) from an originator, determine an availability schedule associated with the originator from the plurality of availability schedules, credit a percentage of the amount of funds of the ACH debit transaction to a delayed settlement account associated with the originator, and transfer a portion of the amount of funds credited to the delayed settlement account to a general operating account of the originator on a particular day determined from the availability schedule. The delayed settlement account has one or more associated rules that prevent the originator from withdrawing funds from the delayed settlement account. | 04-05-2012 |
