Patent number: 11930235Abstract: Assets of broadcast network content are targeted to network users of interest based on location information regarding user equipment devices. Asset providers can specify location targeting criteria via a graphical user interface displaying mapping information. This location targeting criteria can then be compared to location information regarding user equipment devices so that assets are delivered to appropriate devices. The comparison of the location targeting criteria to the device location information can be performed at the user equipment devices or at another location. In the latter case, the assets can be addressed to appropriate user equipment devices or appropriate user equipment devices can be directed to select the asset, which is broadcast via the network. In this manner, assets can be targeted to individual network users on a basis independent of network topology.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Invidi Technologies CorporationInventors: Patrick M. Sheehan, Bruce J. Anderson, Daniel C. Wilson

Patent number: 8564770Abstract: A system detects a plant's exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) through plant leaf imaging. White light impinging upon a plant's leaf interacts therewith to produce interacted light. A detector is positioned to detect at least one spectral band of the interacted light. A processor coupled to the detector performs comparisons between photonic energy of the interacted light at the one or more spectral bands thereof and reference data defining spectral responses indicative of leaf exposure to TCE. An output device coupled to the processor provides indications of the comparisons.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2011Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: The United States of America as Represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationInventors: Mark David Lewis, Daniel J.
