20120291600 | HOLLOW FORM TURNING DEVICE - A hollow turning device comprises a tool handle, a cutting bar extending from one end of the tool handle having a longitudinal axis and a cross section at least a portion of which is non-circular, and a cutting tool disposed at a distal end of the cutting bar. A tool rest is disposed adjacent the work piece. A torque arrestor has a pair of spaced apart cooperating rollers between which the cutting bar extends, the cooperating rollers being spaced apart to fittingly receive and restrain the cutting bar to allow motion of the cutting bar between the cooperating rollers to facilitate motion of the cutting tool within the hollow to shape the inside of the work piece, wherein the non-circular portion of the cutting bar cross section prevents vertical movement and rotation of the cutting bar along its longitudinal axis when the cutting tool engages the work piece. | 11-22-2012 |

20100114625 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING A CONSISTENT HIERARCHY OF DECOMPOSITION OF A BUSINESS METRIC - Methods and apparatuses for computing a variance between two business metrics is described. In one embodiment, the method computes a variance for each of a first set of activities based on the corresponding reference state of that activity, wherein the variance for an activity is the change in contribution for that activity between the first and second business metrics and with each of the first set of activities having a reference value. Furthermore, the method computes a variance for each of a second set of activities based on the corresponding start and end values of that activity with each of the second set of activities having a start and end value. | 05-06-2010 |
20100114637 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING DUE-TO REPORTS FOR ACTIVITIES THAT MAY NOT HAVE REFERENCE VALUE - Methods and apparatuses for computing a variance for the difference between two business metrics. In one embodiment, the method accesses a response model and a plurality of activities with start and end values for each of the plurality of activities. Furthermore, the method computes a variance for the difference between the first and second business metrics for each of the plurality of activities using the response model by setting that activity to one of the corresponding starting and ending values and setting others of the plurality of activities to the value state opposite of that activity, wherein the variance for an activity is the change in contribution for that activity between the start and end sales volumes. | 05-06-2010 |
20100114657 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURABLE MODEL-INDEPENDENT DECOMPOSITION OF A BUSINESS METRIC - Methods and apparatuses for decomposing a business metric based on a plurality of activities and a response model are described. In one embodiment, the method accesses the response model and the plurality of activities, the plurality of activities each having a reference and executed value. The method computes a contribution to the business metric based on setting one of the plurality of activities to one of the corresponding reference and executed value and setting the other activities to the value state opposite of that activity. Furthermore, the method computes each of the contributions independent of the response model type. | 05-06-2010 |
20100114658 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING A CONSISTENT HIERARCHY OF DECOMPOSITION OF A BUSINESS METRIC - Methods and apparatuses for computing an atomic decomposition level and a set of different decomposition levels based on the atomic decomposition level for a business metric are described. In one embodiment, the method accesses a response model and a first plurality of activities that are used to compute an atomic decomposition level. The atomic decomposition level is a base level of the set of different decomposition levels using different pluralities of activities. Furthermore, the set of different decompositions is consistent with the atomic decomposition level. | 05-06-2010 |
20140162694 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING INFORMATION IN A LOCATION-BASED SYSTEM - Systems and methods are provided that permit merchants, venue owners, and other entities defined within a location-based system to communicate with users. Additional communication capabilities are provided in a location-based service that permits merchants and other entities to engage users in different ways. One or more advertisers, merchants or other entities may be able to send messages to one or more users. For instance, if a user visits a venue more than a certain number of times in total, visits or “checks-in” to that venue over a period of time, indicates that the user follows or “likes” a particular venue or merchant, or performs some other activity with the location-based network, that merchant may be provided a vehicle for sending messages to those users. Targeted messages may be sent responsive to any information used in the location-based service, including active or passive user activity. | 06-12-2014 |

20100102946 | Way of Controlling Vehicle Brake Lights and a Control Circuit Designed to Realize this Control - The embodiments of the invention are directed to a method and apparatus to generate pulsing lights where parameters such as frequency, degree of brightness, and the number of pulses vary depending on the duration of the brake pedal application, the time interval between consecutive brake applications, and the deceleration rate of the vehicle, as well as optionally its distance from other vehicles. The brake light control system incorporates a microprocessor having multiple inputs, including a brake pedal sensor, and its output connected via an amplifying circuit to the lights. Other inputs of the microprocessor include a deceleration sensor, a distance sensor, and an optional manual pushbutton or switch located within the driver's reach. The lights controlled by the system may include brake lights, emergency lights, or additional lights shaped into a warning triangle. | 04-29-2010 |
