Abstract: Natural language can be used to conduct a conversation that yields analytic results. An interactive user interface can present suggestive content associated with a natural language input to a user. The suggestive content can guide assist the user in obtaining analytic data/information relating to a business, industry, and/or the like. An ontology comprising one or more content items associated with the natural language input can generated. The ontology can be represented as and/or associated with a data structure that temporal correlates a plurality of content items to the natural language input.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and building block modules for modular power generation facilities are disclosed. A modular power generation facility includes a plurality of primary modules and a control system. Each primary module includes eight primary corners and an interior space. The modules are positioned in a vertical stack and are attached together to form a substantially modular enclosure for the generation of electricity. The modules include gen-set modules, each having an engine-generator and a fuel tank disposed in the interior, and a switchgear module having switchgear ganged to the gen-set modules. The control system communicates with the gen-set modules to coordinate the engine-generators as a unit and to control the loading of each of the generators in response to a power load demand. The control system is disposed in one or more of the primary modules with at least part of the control system being disposed in the switchgear module.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and building block modules for modular power generation facilities are disclosed. A multi-stack modular power generation facility includes first and second pluralities of primary modules and first and second control systems.

Each control system communicates with the respective gen-set modules to coordinate the engine-generators as a unit and to control the loading of each of the generators in response to a power load demand. The second plurality of primary modules are disposed immediately adjacent the first plurality of primary modules such that the second vertical enclosure abuts the first vertical enclosure.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and building block modules for modular power generation facilities are disclosed. A method of erecting a modular power generation facility includes producing a plurality of primary modules, each including a housing adapted from an intermodal shipping container having posts, rails, and sills connected together by shipping container corner castings; shipping the primary modules, which include gen-set modules and a switchgear module, to an installation location; positioning the primary modules in a vertical stack; attaching the primary modules to one another in the vertical stack; interconnecting the engine-generators of the one or more gen-set modules with the switchgear of the switchgear module; and operating the engine-generators and the switchgear to provide electricity to a transformer connected to the switchgear in response to a power load demand.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a vehicle suspension assembly is described having a spring tube with a spring component disposed within the spring tube. A damper tube is slidably coupled to an interior of the spring tube, and a through shaft is disposed within the spring tube and also the damper tube. A damper piston is disposed within the damper tube and the damper piston is coupled to the through shaft. A damper valve assembly including an adjustable valve is also coupled to the through shaft. The vehicle suspension assembly further includes a pressure compensation feature coupled to the damper valve assembly.

Abstract: Methods, communications devices, and computer program products for selecting an advertisement to initiate communications between communication devices using an Internet protocol enabled television infrastructure are provided. Input of a call back number is received. Advertisement data of an enterprise is accessed via an Internet protocol enabled device. A selection is received to initiate a communication to the enterprise. A selection of the call back number is received. The call back number is contacted, in response to an indication that the enterprise has been contacted for initiation of the communication.

Abstract: A system and method for automatically assigning marketing allocations, including advertisements and coupons, for a business to marketing channels. An investment engine and recommendation engine uses input data to assign marketing allocations to marketing channels. Consumer activity is generated that produces corresponding output data. The investment engine calculates a return-on-investment (ROI) metric, and the recommendation engine generates a report related to the input and output data. The input data, marketing allocations or channels are adjusted to optimize the ROI metric and recommend marketing campaign strategies. The system also automatically determines which keywords the business should assign their marketing allocations to when a consumer utilizes similar keywords on a search engine. Targeted keywords are determined by applying budget weights to keywords related to the business and monitoring output data, such as a click through rate of the marketing allocations.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: transmit a marketing campaign from a first virtual internet protocol (IP) address; identify, during a transmission of the marketing campaign, a quantity of undeliverable or unsolicited email; determine whether the quantity of undeliverable or unsolicited email is equal to or greater than a threshold quantity of undeliverable or unsolicited email; and responsive to a determination that the quantity of undeliverable or unsolicited email is equal to or greater than the threshold quantity, transmit, prior to a conclusion of the transmission, the marketing campaign from a second virtual IP address.

Abstract: A method and system for increasing optical instrument calibration and prediction accuracy within and across different optical instrument platforms can include two main submethods or routines. The first routine can include one for correcting differences among optical instruments of different model types regardless of the manufacturer and correcting differences among optical instruments of the same model type. The second main routine or sub-method can include one for analyzing new samples of a product over time and maintaining prediction accuracy as compared to a reference method over time. The first routine can include a “TRANS” procedure, a “MIN” procedure, and checkcell tests. The second main routine provides techniques on how a product database can be cleaned, condensed, and expanded automatically as it is used by one or more different optical instruments.

Abstract: Provisioning a local device with an account associated with a client device or pairing an accessory device with a local device is disclosed. A client device captures a graphical representation of a local device identifier using an image capture device, identifies the local device identifier and transmits the local device identifier to a remote server. The remote server determines an account associated with the client device and associates the local device identifier with the account. An accessory device includes a graphical representation of an accessory device identifier that is captured by an image capture device of the client device. An accessory device identifier is identified and transmitted to the remote server or to the local device, which associates the accessory device identifier with a local device identifier.
