Publication number: 20240120874Abstract: A roof mount system supports a solar panel above a roof and includes a base positioned on the roof and a first fastener connected to the base and extending away from the roof and moveable along the base in a direction generally parallel to the roof. A first clamp supports a bottom surface of a solar panel frame and adjusts the height of the solar panel above the roof by moving the first clamp along a first fastener in a direction perpendicular to the roof. A second clamp is connected to a second fastener and moves with respect to the first clamp perpendicular to the roof. The solar panel is clamped between the first clamp and the second clamp portion. A protrusion extends from the first or second clamp to form an electrical bond between the solar panel frame and the respective first or second clamp.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Brian Cecil Stearns, Alexander Grant Bornemann

Patent number: 11907970Abstract: Adaptive control of exposure. A proportional exposure cap is a maximum fraction applicable to a recipient's total viewable attention in a time window. The total viewable attention represents all viewable advertising content which will be provided to the recipient. A notification of availability of an opportunity to expose a specified recipient to advertising content is received during the time window. The specified recipient's consumed viewable attention is detected. The specified recipient's total viewable attention for the time window is predicted. Responsive to the maximum fraction of the specified recipient's predicted total viewable attention for the time window being greater than the consumed viewable attention of the specified recipient, content is sent to the specified recipient and the consumed viewable attention is updated.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2023Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Quantcast CorporationInventors: Seph Zdarko, Ryan Lei Hin Chan, David Alexander Grant
