Abstract: An audience measurement system (10) collects data representative of
tuned programs rather than of tuned channels, and includes (i) a
household metering apparatus (14) which records ancillary codes or
extracts program signatures from the programs if no ancillary codes are
found therein, (ii) a reference apparatus (32) which monitors broadcast

which records whatever ancillary codes may be associated with these
broadcast programs and, if no ancillary codes are present, which
compresses and stores a digital replica representative of the broadcast
programs to be monitored, (iii) a data collection apparatus (36) which
compares the household and reference data to determine (a) which of the
broadcast programs to be monitored were selected for viewing and/or
listening, (b) which of the metered households selected the broadcast
programs to be monitored for viewing and/or listening, and (c) at which

Abstract: A turbine fluid guide member (10) including an airfoil portion (12), a platform portion (14) and fillet (16) joining the airfoil portion to the platform portion. Fillet cooling holes (18a - 18f) are positioned in the turbine fluid guide member relative to a pressure side vortex flow (22) so that a cooling fluid flow (20) exiting the hole is directed to form a cooling film (32) over the fillet. The cooling holes may be positioned in the airfoil portion, the platform portion, or any combination thereof, depending on the geometry of the airfoil and resultant vortex flows around the airfoil. A method of cooling a fillet of the turbine fluid guide member may include identifying a vortex flow around the fillet and selectively positioning a hole relative to the vortex flow such that a cooling fluid flow exiting the hole is directed to form a cooling film over the fillet.
