Publication number: 20230032845Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to generate audience metrics for connected television. An example system includes at least one memory, programmable circuitry, and instructions to cause the programmable circuitry to obtain media access data corresponding to connected television media and a user identifier corresponding to a media access device, generate, using a machine learning model, probability values for corresponding audience demographics in a household composition corresponding to the user identifier, the probability values indicative of likelihoods that corresponding ones of the audience demographics are accessing the connected television media, determine a person-level characteristic based on the probability values of the audience demographics, the person-level characteristic corresponding to an audience member of the connected television media, and assign the media access data to the person-level characteristic.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Ameneh Atai, Matan Bik, Utsav Utpal Vakil, Christopher Newell Sausman, Jason Shun, Efrat Marom Markov

Patent number: 11104954Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for isolating and amplifying a subject's mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA). The method comprises the steps of: isolating cell free deoxyribonucleic acid (cf-DNA) from a plasma sample obtained from the subject; and amplifying the mtDNA within the isolated cfDNA using a polymerase chain reaction with a first primer pair and a second primer pair. The first primer is selected from SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2 and the second primer pair is selected from SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignees: M.A.G.I.C. Clinic Ltd., The Governors of the University of AlbertaInventors: Aneal Khan, Christopher Newell, Stacey Hume, Steven Greenway

Patent number: 10164956Abstract: A method and apparatus for fine-grained, trust-based rate limiting of network requests distinguishes trusted network traffic from untrusted network traffic at the granularity of an individual user/machine combination, so that network traffic policing measures are readily implemented against untrusted and potentially hostile traffic without compromising service to trusted users. A server establishes a user/client pair as trusted by issuing a trust token to the client when successfully authenticating to the server for the first time. Subsequently, the client provides the trust token at login. At the server, rate policies apportion bandwidth according to type of traffic: network requests that include a valid trust token are granted highest priority. Rate policies further specify bandwidth restrictions imposed for untrusted network traffic.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventor: Christopher Newell Toomey

Patent number: 8719899Abstract: A system and method for determining in a global network the user network authentication status as the user goes from site to site within the network is provided. Additionally, the system and method provides for transparent or implicit multi-site logon functionality, including automatic introduction from one site to the other using a baseline authentication agency (102). The system and method provides an architecture for a core global network (100) (referred to herein as NET) that incorporates some or all of the following features and components: a set of baseline authentication agencies responsible for the core global network (NET) services, such as login and user-selected service-provider lookup; a shared NET domain and associated DNS records (106) used for cookie (110) sharing, login routing, and the like; and a collection of partner sites (108) accessible via the NET.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2009Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Bright Sun TechnologiesInventors: Christopher Newell Toomey, Conor Cahill

Patent number: 8608288Abstract: A method for forming a self-aligned hole through a substrate to form a fluid feed passage is provided by initially forming an insulating layer on a first side of a substrate having two opposing sides; and forming a feature on the insulating layer. Next, etch an opening through the insulating layer, such that the opening is physically aligned with the feature on the insulating layer; and coat the feature with a layer of protective material. Patterning the layer of protective material will expose the opening through the insulating layer. Dry etching from the first side of the substrate forms a blind feed hole in the substrate corresponding to the location of the opening in the insulating layer, the blind feed hole including a bottom. Subsequently, grind a second side of the substrate and blanket etch it to form a hole through the entire substrate.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2012Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: John Andrew Lebens, Weibin Zhang, Christopher Newell Delametter
