  • Methods and systems for B2B demand generation with targeted advertising campaigns and lead profile optimization based on target audience feedback
    Patent number: 9886700
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for generating opt-in business leads utilizing targeted advertising campaigns. The method comprises first retrieving an ideal customer profile (ICP), and generating enriched candidates leads that match the ICP. Next, generating test campaigns, receiving feedback information on the test campaigns from candidate leads in test target groups, scoring each test campaign based on received feedback information, and generating a targeted advertising campaign comprising test campaigns with high campaign scores. Opt-in business leads are generated by selecting candidate leads that respond affirmatively to the targeted advertising campaign. The present invention utilizes a closed-loop approach to customize campaign audiences, to optimize targeted advertising campaigns and ICPs, and as a result, to produces high-quality, low-cost, opt-in leads for B2B companies.

  • Method and apparatus for pasteurizing shell eggs using radio frequency heating
    Patent number: 9883682
    Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) energy is used to quickly heat the yolk portion of a shell egg. An anode and corresponding cathode are applied to each individual egg. As the egg is selectively and systematically rotated, RF energy and a stream of cooling fluid (preferably water) are simultaneously applied to the egg. This initiates pasteurization of the egg yolk while maintaining a low temperature in the heat-sensitive albumen (egg white) thus preventing denaturation of the albumen. Immediately after the RF yolk heating process, the egg is placed in a hot water bath designed to rapidly pasteurize the albumen as well as to minimize heat loss from the yolk and pasteurize any portion of the yolk that is not already pasteurized through the RF yolk heating process.

  • Localised one-dimensional magnetic resonance spatial-frequency spectroscopy
    Patent number: 9885769
    Abstract: A method of assessing a spatial frequency distribution within a sample comprising subjecting the sample to magnetic resonance excitation, receiving an echo signal from the sample while the sample is subjected to a magnetic field gradient, applying an invertible linear transform to the echo signal, identifying a region of interest in the transformed echo signal and deriving a corresponding window function, applying the window function (in the signal or transform domain) to the echo signal to remove echo signal coming from regions of the sample outside of the region of interest, and analyzing the one dimensional spatial frequency content in the windowed echo signal in order to access a one dimensional spatial frequency distribution within the region of interest within the sample without creating an image.
