Abstract: An active control of advertising is enhanced through the use of solicited information to gain knowledge about a desired population of users. In some examples, this knowledge about users provides a self-identification of target users, and this self-identification is used to select further users with similar characteristics, who would also be likely to self-identify themselves as target users.

Abstract: System, method and computer product for performing automated predictive reliability. A data acquisition component acquires service data for a complex system from a data repository. A statistical analysis component generates a statistical model for the service data. A simulation component predicts the reliability of the complex system according to the statistical model. An alert generation component generates alerts when predicted failures determined by the simulation component exceed predetermined alert criteria. A report generation component generates a summary of the analysis performed in the data acquisition, statistical analysis and alert generation components.

Abstract: A method for processing monitored data from a remote asset to optimize maintenance and operation schedules, the method comprising the steps of collecting data from the remote asset, building a data set based on the data collected, applying statistical scripts to the data set to create a statistical model, comparing the statistical model to the data set, creating a standardization model from the compared statistical model and the data set, applying a trending algorithm to the data, deriving statistical based control limits, and applying the control limits to a new set of collected data.
