Abstract: A method is provided for determining a correlation between a reference user and another user on the basis of two sets of ratings, where each rating is associated with a respective user. In response to a trigger,user ratings associated with the reference user and user ratings associated with the other user are collected, and all co- rated items of these two sets are correlated in the basis of an adjusted cosine correlation function which is weighted by a first and a second weighting function. The correlation is then stored and may be repeated for a plurality of users. The stored correlations may be used e.g. for ranking purposes.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, computer systems, and computing methods are provided for establishing and updating a prompting scheme for soliciting feedback from a customer. Initially, the customer provides a type of occasion to monitor and temporal criteria for receiving communications from a service. The service generates a prompting scheme based on the type of occasion in order to properly compose solicitations for feedback from the customer. Also, the service uses the temporal criteria for establishing the prompting scheme, which influences the scheduling of communications bearing the solicitations, respectively. Upon delivering the communications, interaction between the customer and the service is monitored and evaluated in order to update the prompting scheme. Specifically, the scheduling of communications is updated based upon the most common time periods at which the customer responds to the communications, while the composition of the solicitations is updated based upon which communications the customer considers worthy of response.

Title: Determining the resonance parameters for mechanical oscillators
Inventor: WOLF H ALAN
IPC: G01N17/04
Filed: 2010-06-18
Abstract: The prior art describes the application of mechanical oscillators for the measurement of corrosion and/or deposi-tion.  Mechanical oscillators employ the use of resonance parameters, frequency and the quality factor Q, for the measurement of corrosion or deposition. However, the prior art does not consider the required precision for measuring frequency or Q in the pres-ence of noise to make these measurements. In particular, the ability of the mechanical oscillator to measure small amounts of met-al loss or deposition is not only dependent upon the mechanical design but is limited by the precision in determining the reso-nance frequency and Q. The present invention discloses methods for measuring these resonance parameters with a high precision in the presence of noise. This degree of precision is required to maximize the utility of these devices as sensitive probes for corro-sion and deposition (fouling) measurement. All of the embodiments described herein employ curve fitting consistent with model-ing the mechanical oscillator as a simple harmonic oscillator. This curve fitting procedure, combined with averaging and utilizing signal processing parameters to mitigate noise effects, adds considerable precision in measuring resonance parameters.
