| 20120116868 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING MARKETING EFFECTIVENESS - The claimed invention relates to a system and computer implemented method for quantitatively measuring effectiveness of a marketing campaign or marketing strategy execution. The client device accesses the server over a communications network to define targeted customer segments based on the marketing campaign or a specific set of marketing objectives and to define a quantifiable outcome or payoff for each targeted customer segment of the client, thereby linking the performance of client's marketing campaign or objectives to the quantifiable outcome for each targeted customer segment. The server generates behavior paths for each targeted customer segment on a client website for effective measurement of adherence of a website visitor/customer to the behavior paths leading to the quantifiable outcome. The rules engine calculates a path score to determine whether the customer adheres to or diverges from a preferred behavior path established for the customer's targeted customer segment. | 05-10-2012 |

| 20110125994 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SECURE ONLINE BROWSING - An external operating system (OS) that is separate from the internal OS of a computer is provided. The external OS may be stored on a USB device, a CD ROM, or other devices. The device that stores the external OS may be removable or non-removable, may have an internal flash memory of varying sizes, and may include browser software. The external OS, flash memory size and browser software may be customizable according to user requirements. The computer may boot up from the device into the external OS, rather than into the internal OS of the computer. Once the computer is booted up, the user has the ability to browse online, with all transactions occurring in the external OS, partitioned from the user's internal computer hard drive, thereby preventing infecting the computer by malware or other malicious software. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20090101328 | COMPOSITE DRILL PIPE AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME - A lightweight and durable drill pipe string capable of short radius drilling formed using a composite pipe segment formed to include tapered wall thickness ends that are each defined by opposed frustoconical surfaces conformed for self aligning receipt and intimate bonding contact within an annular space between corresponding surfaces of a coaxially nested set of metal end pieces and a set of nonconductive sleeves. The distal peripheries of the nested end pieces and sleeves are then welded to each other and the sandwiched and bonded portions are radially pinned. The composite segment may include imbedded conductive leads and the axial end portions of the end pieces are shaped to form a threaded joint with the next pipe assembly that includes contact rings in the opposed surfaces of the pipe joint assembly, the contact of which is effected by either piercing with a pointed contact from one end into the other to connect the corresponding leads across the joint or contacting opposed rings in each end. | 04-23-2009 |
