Patent number: 10789357Abstract: A method, a system, and an article are provided for detecting and managing anomalies associated with content presentations. An example computer-implemented method includes: obtaining a stream of data including a record of software installations on a plurality of client devices; processing the stream of data using a real-time anomaly detector to detect a first anomaly indicating that a client device was previously associated with fraudulent software installation activity; aggregating the stream of data to generate a batch record of software installations for each publisher from a plurality of content publishers; processing each batch record of software installations using a batch anomaly detector to detect a second anomaly indicating that at least one of the publishers is associated with fraudulent software installation activity; and facilitating an adjustment of content presentations on the client devices, based on at least one of the detected first anomaly and the detected second anomaly.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Cognant LLCInventors: Heng Wang, Wei Yang, Neal Nakagawa, Daniel Gelman, Matt Holland, Ishan Upadhyaya, James Koh, Brian Walker, Susanna Orr, Vivek Girotra, Owen S.

Patent number: 10667752Abstract: A hand-held catheter force control device includes an elongate base sized to be hand-held. The base defines a longitudinal axis between first and second opposing longitudinal ends. A linear actuator is mounted to the base to provide linear motion substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base. A sheath clamp is coupled to the base. The sheath clamp is sized to fixedly capture a sheath handle. A catheter clamp is coupled to the linear actuator. The catheter clamp is sized to fixedly capture a catheter, and is aligned to be substantially co-axial with the sheath clamp. Systems and methods can incorporate the catheter force control device.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: THE UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIOInventors: Daniel Gelman, Allan Skanes, Maria Drangova

Publication number: 20190340184Abstract: A method, a system, and an article are provided for managing content presentations on a plurality of client devices. An example computer-implemented method includes: obtaining data including a record of the content presentations; aggregating the data to generate a history of content presentations for each client device; providing the history of content presentations for each client device to a plurality of weighting algorithms configured to calculate weights for the content presentations; combining the weights from each weighting algorithm for each client device; attributing, based on the combined weights for each client device, a user action taken on the client device to at least one of the content presentations; and facilitating an adjustment of future content presentations based on the attribution.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2019Publication date: November 7, 2019Inventors: Heng Wang, Hao Zhao, Bhargav Bhushanam, Ishan Upadhyaya, Owen S. Vallis, Arun Kejariwal, Daniel Gelman, James Koh

Publication number: 20190171955Abstract: A method, a system, and an article are provided for inferring the identifies of publishers of online digital content. An example method can include: obtaining data including a history of content presentations by a plurality of publishers on a plurality of client devices, the data providing an unambiguous identification of each publisher in a first portion of the publishers and an anonymous identification of each publisher in a second portion of the publishers; identifying a pair of publishers including a first publisher from the first portion and a second publisher from the second portion; calculating, based on the data, a similarity metric for the pair of publishers; and based on the calculated similarity metric, facilitating an adjustment of content presentations by the plurality of publishers.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2018Publication date: June 6, 2019Inventors: Bhargav Bhushanam, Heng Wang, Daniel Gelman, Ishan Upadhyaya, James Koh
