Abstract: An online system selects advertisements for presentation a user based on characteristics of the user. The online system monitors performance of advertisements based on a goal for the advertisement and a time interval for achieving the goal. During a time period within the time interval, the online system determines an actual performance of the advertisement and compares the actual performance to a portion of the goal associated with the time period. If the actual performance does not satisfy the portion of the goal associated with the time period, the online system expands targeting criteria of the advertisement to increase a number of users eligible to be presented with the advertisement.

Abstract: A transform block processing procedure wherein a maximum coding-block size and a maximum transform-block size for an unencoded video frame is determined. The unencoded video frame is divided into a plurality of coding-blocks including a first coding block and the first coding block is divided into at least one prediction block and a plurality of transform blocks. The size of the transform blocks depend at least in part on the size of the coding block and the corresponding prediction blocks. The transform blocks are then encoded, thereby generating a video data payload of an encoded bit-stream. A frame header of the encoded bit -stream, including a maximum coding-block-size flag and a maximum-transform-block-size flag, is generated.

Abstract: An advertisement (ad) proxy server acts as a proxy for serving content of third-party ads to users of an online system, reducing data leakage from users to advertisers. The ad proxy server acts as an intermediate storage and access point for content included in advertisement, such as images and videos. When an advertisement from an advertiser is selected for presentation by the online system, an ad tag identifying the location of the content for the selected ad is retrieved and used to retrieve a copy of the advertisement content. The ad proxy server stores the copy of the advertisement content and generates a modified ad tag identifying the ad proxy server. The modified ad tag is sent to a client device, which retrieves the copy of the advertisement content from the ad proxy server rather than directly from the advertiser.

Abstract: A direct-foam cleaning product comprising a foam having a compression force of about 2.4 gf*mm to about 4.3 gf*mm. Such direct-foam cleaning product provides good foaming properties and surface coverage when the composition is sprayed directly onto soiled dishware. This leads to efficient cleaning of soiled dishes via a direct-foam and rinse action, which avoids traditional methods of soaking soiled dishes in detergent baths and/or scrubbing soiled dishware with a sponge or cleaning implement.

Abstract: The invention relates to the technical field of communications, and more particularly, to a method and device for realizing synchronization. The method comprises: performing, by a base station, and according to an SRS signal transmitted by a terminal, filtering to obtain a RRU channel having the maximum receiving power in a current operation; upon determining that the RRU channel having the maximum receiving power in the current operation is different from a RRU channel used in the currently performed demodulation, refraining from performing immediate switching; and permitting switching of the RRU channel only when the receiving power of the RRU channel is determined to match the maximum threshold of a preset series of thresholds, and transmitting a TA command word to the terminal while switching the RRU channel to complete synchronization with the terminal. The invention prevents a terminal from frequently switching between RRU channels on a subframe basis.
