  • Publication number: 20240430525
    Abstract: A system and method for attributing media-exposure to a particular media-delivery device, such as a media player, at a panelist site. An example system includes a first meter configured to detect media presentation by a media-presentation device at the panelist site, and a second meter configured to detect media transmission at the panelist site to the media-delivery device at the panelist site. Further, the example system includes program instructions stored in non-transitory data storage and executable by at least one processor to carry out operations including (i) correlating the detected media presentation at the panelist site with the detected media transmission at the panelist site to the media-delivery device at the panelist site and (ii) based on the correlating, associating the panelist media-exposure with the media-delivery device, such as by generating record indicating the association. This association may then be used as a basis to enhance audience ratings.

  • Patent number: 12159311
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for identifying targeted transactions from a transaction data stream. A transaction monitoring application executes on at least one processor. The transaction monitoring application may access first targeted transaction data from a targeted transaction persistent storage. The transaction monitoring application may build a first targeted transaction data structure at an application memory. The transaction monitoring application may access a first transaction record from a transaction record data stream and compare the first targeted transaction data structure and the first transaction record. The transaction monitoring application may, based on the comparing, determine that the first transaction is a targeted transaction, and initiate sending of a first transaction report message to a first user.

  • Patent number: 11670542
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to fabrication methods and resulting interconnect structures having stepped top vias that reduce via resistance. In a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, a surface of a conductive line is recessed below a first dielectric layer. A second dielectric layer is formed on the recessed surface and an etch stop layer is formed over the structure. A first cavity is formed that exposes the recessed surface of the conductive line and sidewalls of the second dielectric layer. The first cavity includes a first width between sidewalls of the etch stop layer. The second dielectric layer is removed to define a second cavity having a second width greater than the first width. A stepped top via is formed on the recessed surface of the conductive line. The top via includes a top portion in the first cavity and a bottom portion in the second cavity.
