International Classification:

H04L 29/08

US Classification:

709201

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided that presents interesting local content to users at times when the content is most actionable and engaging without the user explicitly entering a search term or expressing intent. In one implementation, the system uses contextual signals about a user to rank local content. Signals may include, for example, who they (one or more users) are, what kinds of places they like, where they are, how familiar they are with the area, the time of day, where the user's friends have been nearby, among other information related to the one or more users. A system may be provided that uses contextual rules and machine learning to target content to users. The system learns which of these contextual signals are most important and alters its ranking function to optimize user engagement in terms of conversions.

International Classification:

C02F 172

US Classification:

2101981

Abstract:

An oxygenated water cooler and method of operating the same for dispensing oxygen enriched water from a bottle installed on the cooler wherein an oxygen source integrated into the cooler delivers oxygen through the water to a headspace above the water in the bottle to maintain the dissolved oxygen content of water in the bottle at an elevated level during the entire time water is dispensed from the bottle by the cooler, the elevated dissolved oxygen level having been established previously during the water bottling process. The oxygen source preferably comprises an oxygen generator, and such generator preferably comprises pressure swing absorption oxygen generating apparatus.
