  • Patent number: 10721541
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and storage media for determining effectiveness of an advertisement are described. In one instance, an apparatus for determining effectiveness of an advertisement may include a digital device matching engine, communicatively coupled to the processors, to receive and process information obtained from a web site accessed by a digital device, and to match the digital device to a TV set, based at least in part on the processed information. The apparatus may further include a conversion determination engine, communicatively coupled to the processors, to determine a level of conversion associated with an advertisement rendered by a broadcasting media to the TV set, based at least in part on the matching of the digital device to the TV set. The apparatus may be configured to provide recommendations to advertisement regarding the effectiveness of their advertising campaign. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 7241977
    Abstract: An apparatus for cooking a food item therein is disclosed. The apparatus has a housing defining an interior and includes at least first and second opposed walls. A rotating member is positioned between the first and second walls of the housing, and the rotating member is capable of engaging and rotating the food item. A drive mechanism is mounted on the apparatus for rotating the rotating member. A heating element is positioned adjacent the second wall of the housing, and a blackbody radiator is positioned between the rotating member and the heating element. The heating element heats a first side of the blackbody radiator and a second side of the blackbody radiator emits radiation in a highly effective wavelength spectrum toward the food item. The apparatus also includes a self cleaning system for cleaning the interior.
