  • Publication number: 20110078013
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for use in connection with an online advertising exchange. Methods are provided in which an auction format is utilized. However, generally, selection and pricing is rate-based and based on near-term forecasting. As such, the selection and pricing does not match specific, immediately available serving opportunities and advertisement inventory. Methods are provided which are in some ways analogous to providing futures—like mini-contracts on an advertising exchange, in which selection and pricing are decoupled from fulfillment of the mini-contracts in the form of serving of advertisements. This can allow auction format advantages while yet allowing forecasting, offline processing and relatively inexpensive operation costs.

  • Publication number: 20100228635
    Abstract: An online advertising system integrates third party agents to permit the third party agents to participate in auctions to bid on a per opportunity basis. An advertising exchange module receives requests for opportunities to serve online advertisements to users. In response, an advertising exchange module applies one or more business rules to determine third party agents that qualify to serve the online advertisement. A bid gateway module generates and transmits requests for bids to the third party agents. The bid gateway module then receives bids from the third party agents in response to the requests for bids. The advertising exchange module then selects an advertisement based on the bid. The online advertisement exchange system provides a unified marketplace to permit integrator networks to bid on both ads pursuant to guaranteed contracts and ads not subject to guaranteed contracts (e.g., non-guaranteed ads).

  • Publication number: 20090240652
    Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for automated collection of human-reviewed data. Requesters send data to be reviewed by humans (or data requests) to a data processing system, which is in communication with one or more systems for collecting human-reviewed data (HRD). The methods and systems discussed enables the data processing system to work with one or more of the systems for collecting HRD). In one embodiment, between the data processing system and the systems for collecting HRD are wrappers, which stores parameters specific to the data requests and libraries for transforming the data requests to human intelligent tasks (HITs) specific to each HRD system. The data processing system also includes a number of components that facilitate transforming data requests into HITs, sending the HITs to the HRD collection systems, receiving HRD, and analyzing HRD to improve the quality of collected HRD.

  • Patent number: 7243982
    Abstract: An operator's cab for a work machine includes a ceiling structure and a floor structure. An operator's station is disposed between the ceiling structure and the floor structure, and is configured to position an operator in a driving position. First and second vertical support bars extend from the ceiling structure to the floor structure. The first and second vertical support bars are disposed forwardly of the operator's station and are spaced a substantially equal distance from a longitudinal axis of the work machine. Third and fourth vertical support bars also extend from the ceiling structure to the floor structure. The third and fourth vertical support bars are spaced a substantially equal distance from the longitudinal axis. The distance from the first and second vertical support bars to the longitudinal axis is less than the distance from the third and fourth vertical support bars to the longitudinal axis.
