Patent number: 11407516Abstract: An onboard rebreathing loop system resident on an aircraft for providing oxygen to aircraft personnel includes a ceramic oxygen generating system (COGS) module configured to receive an inlet air and output a high purity oxygen (O2) gas into a breathing loop and a carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubber module configured to receive exhaled air from the aircraft personnel and output a CO2-scrubbed air into the breathing loop. The high purity O2 gas and CO2-scrubbed air are mixed to form a mixed gas having a partial pressure of O2 suitable for breathing by the aircraft personnel. The onboard rebreathing loop system may further include an odor removal module, an air temperature and/or humidity control module to condition the mixed gas before breathing by the aircraft personnel, and a gas sensor module to confirm the partial pressure of O2 within the mixed gas before breathing by the aircraft personnel.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Inventors: Steven C.

Publication number: 20160343026Abstract: A target audience for an ad campaign is determined during an exploration period of the ad campaign by modifying the target audience based on the fulfillment of performance objectives. An initial target audience may be provided by the advertiser or determined by the social networking system based on ad campaigns having similar ad content or other similar characteristics. Advertisements associated with the ad campaign are served to users of the initial target audience. A subset of the target audience that fulfills the performance objectives of the ad campaign is identified and those users are used to generate a new targeting audience to target users that “look like” the subset of the target audience. The new targeting audience is used in place of the initial target audience to improve targeting for the advertisement. This process may be iteratively performed to refine the target audience during the exploration period.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2015Publication date: November 24, 2016Inventors: Haibin Cheng, Sue Ann Hong, Rituraj Kirti, Benjamin Tucker Savage, Gary Wu
