Abstract: Systems and methods for Automatic Identification and Creation of Affiliates are provided. For example, a system accesses a model that identifies patterns corresponding to consumer brand markers. The system then analyzes a first set of user-generated content (UGC) items within a dialogic network to identify a signifier corresponding with a consumer brand marker. The system can cluster a subset of the first set of UGC items including at least two of the plurality of UGC items. A message can be generated including instructions for establishing an affiliate-sponsor relationship.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying user-generated content related to a consumer brand are provided. For example, a system accesses a model that identifies patterns corresponding to consumer brand markers. The system then analyzes a first set of user-generated content (UGC) items within a dialogic network to identify a signifier corresponding with a consumer brand marker. The system can cluster a subset of the first set of UGC items including at least two of the plurality of UGC items. An individual UGC item from the subset is then transmitted, via a monologic network, as an advertisement for the consumer brand.

Abstract: Delivery of a modularly reconfigurable vehicle may include receiving a request for the modularly reconfigurable vehicle, including a desired configuration associated with the modularly reconfigurable vehicle and a location associated with the request.

Abstract: According to one aspect, energy management or battery pack distribution may be achieved by receiving a location associated with a portable battery dispensing vehicle which carries or stocks modular battery replacement packs for electric vehicles, determining a location of a mobile device associated with the system for energy management, displaying the location associated with the portable battery dispensing vehicle and the location associated with the mobile device, receiving a request associated with a purchase of one of the modular battery replacement packs carried by the portable battery dispensing vehicle, and generating an instruction to credit an associated account with a virtual energy credit based on the request associated with the purchase of one or more of the modular battery replacement packs.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for detecting strain, stress, fatigue and incipient failure in materials. A detector (e.g., a photomultiplier tube) is used to detect photonic emissions from a material under test. Data based on the detected photonic emissions is displayed in real time so as to enable real time analysis of the data in determining strain, stress, fatigue and/or incipient failure.
