  • Patent number: 8386315
    Abstract: System, method, computer program and computer program product automate and optimize process of placing advertising campaigns on available inventory. When visitor loads one of publisher's web pages, system will be queried for advertisement that should be shown. System periodically analyzes performance data to determine optimal allocations. When queried, identifies advertiser campaign and advertisement to be shown. Results of that visitor encounter are logged or recorded for future analysis. Determination of campaign placements may advantageously be a two-phase process. First, campaign is efficiently tested on the inventory most likely to produce good results. The testing module dynamically adapts, adjusting the amount of testing on different channels until a sufficient determination of the creative performance on different channels can be made. The second phase is the resource allocation. Campaign performance data and contractual constraints are formulated as a network problem.

  • Patent number: 7119903
    Abstract: A method is provided for estimating scattering and includes providing a distribution expression that includes first, second, and third integrals over a source solid angle, a sample area, and detector solid angle respectively, and an integrand that includes a differential-scattering profile; approximating the first and second integrals to be the second integral, wherein the source electromagnetic radiation is approximated to be collimated; approximating the second and third integral to be the third integral, wherein a detector for detecting the electromagnetic radiation scattered from the surface is approximated to be a point detector; transforming the coordinates of the third integral over detector solid angle to be a fourth integral over a single dimension in cosine space, wherein the surface is approximated to be shift invariant; differentiating the fourth integral with respect to the single dimension to generate the differential-scattering profile; and generating an optical system design based on the diffe
