Abstract: A method for tracking and reporting traffic activity on a web site first comprises storing a web page on a first server coupled to a network. When the web page is requested from a visitor computer, the visitor computer is selected (or not selected) for inclusion within a sample group, where the sample group is only a subset of the total traffic to the web site. A selection indicator is stored on the visitor computer associated with this selection. Data mining code within the web site is operated or not operated depending upon the value of the selection indicator. The data mining code is operated, and the activity of the visitor computer on the web site consequently tracked only if the visitor computer is selected as a member within the sample group, otherwise the data miring code is not operated and no traffic activity is generated.
Patent CA-2421291-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LANDSBERGER LESLIE M
IPC: H04R3/00
Filed: 2001-05-08
Abstract: This invention addresses a fundamental weakness in currently common microphones, and their applications in feedback for audio speaker systems. This limitation stems from the fundamental difficulties of typical membrane- type microphones in the frequency range 1-100Hz. The self-noise of membrane- type microphones increases in this range approximately as 1/f, and membrane- type microphones are sensitive to parasitic inertial vibrations, which are usually very important in this frequency range. The removal of these limitations enables the use of such a sensor (APV sensor) for effective feedback in audio speakers, dramatically improving performance in the low- frequency range of 10-100Hz. Without feedback, typical audio speakers suffer  severe attenuation and/or distortion in this range.
