  • Publication number: 20080270264
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and network appliance for searching digital content located within a network to identify digital content available for potential offer, thus defining identified digital content. A user is allowed to select at least one digital content from the identified digital content, thus defining at least one selected digital content. The at least one selected digital content is provided to a digital exchange process for offering to a third party.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 7369229
    Abstract: An imaging system and methods for resolving elements of interest through and obscuring environment by removing undesired signals from the intervening, obscuring environment is disclosed. A passive hyperspectral imaging sensor is calibrated and integrated into a system having a positioning and attitude detection system and an instrument control and data acquisition system that records data from sensors in a three-dimensional data cube having two spatial dimensions and a spectral dimension. Either an active detection and ranging system or a look-up-table approach or both are used to remove the noise generated by the intervening, obscuring environment from the data relevant to the elements of interest.
