  • Patent number: 10902009
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes determining a position for a search query and a position for each audience record from multiple audience records in an embedding space. The method further includes receiving multiple device records, each associated with an audience record. The method further includes determining multiple keywords, each associated with an audience record and determining a position for each keyword in the embedding space. The method further includes calculating a first distance between the position of the search query in the embedding space and the position of each audience record in the embedding space. The method further includes calculating a second distance between the position of the search query in the embedding space and the position of each keyword in the embedding space. The method further includes ranking each audience record based on the first distance and the second distance.

  • Publication number: 20200367627
    Abstract: A backpack with magnetic back-panel is provided and configured to enable a user to store their valuable and fragile belongings in the backpack and use the magnetic back-panel to securely store the backpack against any metal structure. Through the easily accessible magnetic back panel, the backpack securely connects to most of, if not all, metal surfaces. With this magnetic feature, the backpack can be positioned vertically or horizontally on metal structures to give the user a plethora of options to position at their desired setting. These options provide an environment that reduces the chance of damage and theft to the backpack, while making completely accessible to the user and removing health and injury concerns.

  • Publication number: 20200348193
    Abstract: A system for detecting forces on and measuring deformation of an anthropomorphic test device (ATD) includes a plurality of body parts and at least one optical fiber supported by and in contact with at least one of the body parts. The body parts form the ATD and simulate at least a part of a human body and the articulation of the human body. The optical fiber extends between a first end and a second end and comprises a plurality of sensors disposed between the ends. An emitter is in communication with the optical fiber for emitting a light having a predetermined band of wavelengths through the optical fiber that is reflected by the sensors and an interrogator is in communication with the optical fiber for detecting the reflected light from the sensor such that changes to the reflected light indicate a strain on the at least one body part.
