  • Publication number: 20240070722
    Abstract: Systems and methods for targeted advertising to specific consumers are disclosed. A system may include a memory storing instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: receive, over a network, consumer data from a client device; identify a plurality of client-provided consumers from the consumer data; obtain a plurality of unique consumer identifiers corresponding to the plurality of client-provided consumers; and identify at least one first overlapping unique consumer identifier by matching at least one of the plurality of client-provided consumers with at least one publisher-provided consumer provided by a first publisher device of a plurality of publisher devices, the first publisher device having a highest priority among the plurality of publisher devices.

  • Patent number: 10051318
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor implemented method is provided. The processor-implemented method includes receiving raw lighting information corresponding to one or more lighting events that occur during the creation of primary content, during association of supplemental effects on the primary content, or both. The processor-implemented method also includes decoding the raw lighting information to generate supplemental information. The supplemental information corresponds to one or more lighting cues. The processor-implemented method also includes associating the supplemental information with the primary content by linking each of the one or more lighting cues to each of the one or more lighting events.

  • Patent number: 7104113
    Abstract: The invention provides a miniaturized sensor device including a thin film membrane having a first surface and a second surface, one or more resistive thin film heater/thermometer devices disposed directly or indirectly adjacent to the first surface of the thin film membrane, and a frame disposed directly or indirectly adjacent to the second surface of the thin film membrane, wherein one or more internal surfaces of the frame define at least one cell having at least one opening. The sensor device also includes a thin film layer disposed directly or indirectly adjacent to the frame. The sensor device further includes a sensing layer disposed directly or indirectly adjacent to the thin film membrane.

  • Patent number: 6938482
    Abstract: A humidity sensor element for a humidity sensing device includes a rigid, p doped silicon substrate, a non-porous terminal on one side of the substrate, a porous terminal on a second side of the substrate, and a layer of polyphenylsulfone between the porous terminal and the substrate. The sensor elements displays improved linear response with humidity changes and very low hysteresis.

  • Publication number: 20050150276
    Abstract: A method and Apparatus for measuring water of hydration in a polyelectrolyte membrane (PEM) employs a source of input radiation directed at an input location on the PEM, and a detector responsively positioned at an output location relative to the input location for determining a sensible change in the input radiation indicative of a level of water hydration in the PEM. The method measures hydration of the (PEM) by forming an input location in the PEM; launching a source of radiation into the input location for reaction with the PEM material; detecting the reaction of the input radiation with the PEM material; and determining a sensible change in the input radiation as a result of the reaction indicative of a level of water hydration in the PEM.
