Title: Measuring exposure to media
Inventor: MONIGHETTI BRIAN
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2009-06-09
Abstract: Exposure to media content across one or more media delivery mechanisms is measured. The delivery mechanisms can include, for example, television and radio, as well as Internet delivery of web pages or other content viewed on a computer, mobile device, or other electronic device using a browser or other application. Media can include web-based content and/or audio content originating from a network source and/or from other content sources.  Reference signatures are generated for media content items of interest. Monitoring devices and/or software monitor user exposure to media items, and intercepted signatures are gener-ated. In some embodiments, user exposure across multiple delivery mechanisms is monitored. Reports can be generated based on comparison of the intercepted signatures with the reference signatures; such reports may include analysis of media exposure across multiple delivery mechanisms. Content items can be selected for presentation to a user based on media exposure history.

Abstract: An abdominal exerciser has base and back frames pivotally mounted for movement between upright and recumbent positions, and a seat frame with cushion rotatable on the base frame. A low friction journal between the base and seat frames supports a user's weight. The journal is about 30 to 42% the distance from a rear end of the cushion to its front end so the user's coccyx is vertically aligned with the journal. Arms at each side of the base frame have a pair of extensions connected to either the base or seat frame, each with a U-shaped handhold lying in a plane at an acute angle of about 30 to 80 degrees to the horizontal. A pair of single pulleys or a pair of tandem pulleys are mounted near the rear of the base frame and are engaged by sleeve-covered springs for biasing the back frame toward the upright position.

Abstract: A method of integrating large volumes of updates in a database system. Each individual update includes of a coherent set of data records supplied by a data provider. The database system includes a master file repository and an active image repository. The method includes first obtaining for each individual update a unique modification identifier from a logistic table of the database system.  The master file repository is then updated with the coherent set of data records of each uniquely identified individual update. A unique commit identifier is further obtained from the logistic table for each individual update that has been committed by the master file. The active image repository is synchronized by successively loading into the active image each individual update. Completion of the propagation of each individual update into the active image repository is achieved when the loading of each corresponding set of data records is committed by the active image.

Abstract: A method and respect material for the production of chlorosilanes (primarily:  trichlorosilane) and the deposition of high purity poly-silicon from these chlorosilanes.  The source for the chlorosilane production consists of eutectic or hypo-eutectic copper-silicon, the concentration range of said copper-silicon is between 10 and 16 wt%  silicon.  The eutectic or hypo-eutectic copper-silicon is cast in a shape suitable for a chlorination reactor, where it is exposed to a process gas, which consists, at least partially, of HCI.  The gas reacts at the surface of the eutectic or hypo-eutectic copper-silicon and extracts silicon in the form of volatile chlorosilane. The depleted eutectic or hypo-eutectic material might be afterwards recycled in such a way that the amount of extracted silicon is replenished and the material is re-cast into the material shape desired.

Abstract: Systems for generating electric power from wind are disclosed, which use buoyant aircraft and spinnaker sails to generate very large pulling forces, which will be used to drive electric generators. The buoyant aircraft, referred to as "airbarges", will have large, wide, and flat shapes which combine various traits of kites, manta rays, and "flying wing"  aircraft. They can be flown "nose up" during the pulling stage of each power cycle, and "nose down"  during retrieval. Spinnaker sails are comparable to horizontal parachutes, with tethering systems that will enable them to be pulled back to a starting location in a "luffing flag" or "closed umbrella" configuration. Because of various factors, spinnaker sails can generate much greater power output and operating efficiency than 3-blade wind turbines. "Webbing sails"  made from interwoven straps also are disclosed, which can be used even in extremely high winds.
