Abstract: A fireplace assembly includes: a housing defining an airflow space and an inner chamber; one or more fans disposed in the housing to facilitate airflow through the airflow space; a flame generator disposed in the inner chamber and capable of generating a flame with a maximum heat output of at least 20,000 BTU (British thermal units); a display device disposed in the housing and configured to display a visual image in front of or behind the flame generator; one or more glass panels disposed in the housing to at least partially define the airflow space to facilitate the airflow; and a control module operatively coupled with the display device and disposed within the airflow space. The airflow through the airflow space is configured to control temperature within the airflow space.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing models for classification of online users are disclosed. An example method includes determining a segment associated with a received impression, determining whether the received impression includes an indication that the received impression is the result of a conversion associated with the segment, determining a current ratio of converted to non-converted impressions associated with a classification model associated with the segment, determining a difference between the current ratio and a target ratio, and storing an indication of the received impression for use in at least one of training or updating a classification model associated with the segment when: (a) the difference does not meet a threshold or (b) counting the received impression in the ratio would reduce the difference.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to perform multi-level hierarchical demographic classification are disclosed.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program that creates a composite media presentation from several media clips. The program creates an audition set for a particular location in a composite display area for placing media clips to specify a description of the composite media presentation. The program adds to the audition set several different types of media clips that are candidates for placement in the composite display area at the particular location. The program iteratively selects a different media clip in the audition set as the only committed media clip in the audition set to include in the composite media presentation.

Abstract: A system including a first element to provide a first parameter value that varies with a first temperature of fluid adjacent the first element, a second element to provide a second parameter value, the first element connected to the second element at an output such that output signals at the output correspond to differences between the first parameter value and the second parameter value, a heater element situated between the first element and the second element to provide heat to the fluid, and a circuit to evaluate the output signals at the output and a threshold value that corresponds to a fluid flow set point and to determine whether flow of the fluid, in at least one direction, across the first element, the heater element, and the second element exceeds the fluid flow set point.

Abstract: A computer readable medium storing a media editing application for creating media presentations is described. The application includes a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI has (1) a composite display area for displaying graphical representations of a set of media clips that are part of the composite presentation and (2) a navigation tool including several selectable navigation markers associated with several navigable locations in the composite presentation. The selection of a navigation marker causes the composite display area to present the navigable location in the composite presentation that is associated with the selected navigation marker.

Abstract: For a media-editing application that creates composite presentations, a novel grouping tool for grouping several media clips in the composite presentation by drawing a boundary about the media clips is described. The media editing application includes a composite display area for displaying media clips that are part of the composite presentation. The composite display area includes a timeline and one or more tracks that span the timeline for holding one or more media clips. The grouping tool provides a drawing tool that allows a user to draw a boundary in the composite display area. The drawing tool includes a moveable drawing element that moves about the media clips in the composite display area in order to draw the boundary.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a computer readable medium storing a media editing application for creating multimedia presentations. The application includes a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI includes a composite display area for displaying a portion of a timeline to which multimedia clips are assigned to create a composite media presentation. The timeline is divided into user-defined segments. The GUI includes an outline window for displaying a list of selectable items representing the user-defined segments, the selectable items for use in applying various operations to the user-modifiable segments. In some embodiments, the various operations include operations to insert a new segment into the timeline, to merge at least two segments into one segment, to hide a particular segment from view, to focus on a particular segment or group of segments in the composite display area, as well as other operations.
