Abstract: A campaign management system manages campaign datasets, wherein a campaign dataset corresponds to selections and instructions for executing an online campaign. A campaign dataset might be created by a human or a machine, or multiple humans and computers in a crowd-sourcing approach. Campaign datasets can be processed to determine an expected quality metric, a post-run quality metric, and a confidence level. A campaign comparator can compare campaign datasets to identify similar campaign datasets so that an expected quality metric, a post-run quality metric, and/or a confidence level from one campaign dataset can be imputed to another campaign dataset.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating, from an array of topic records, an output array of keywords for use in targeting online advertisements related to topics represented by the array of topic records, includes obtaining the array of topic records in computer-readable form, determining a relevancy value for words and topics, classifying the topic vectors in the plurality of topic vectors into a high-volume class or a low-volume class, generating and storing an array of seed keywords derived by sampling from an embedded space, ranking the seed keywords to form an array of ranked keywords, updating the array of ranked keywords based on keyword cost-per-click data, iterating the ranking and updating at least once, and evaluating an optimization improvement value for an iteration.

Abstract: A computer system monitors physical commodities based on sensor data about those physical commodities using a virtual vault to define a space. The computer system comprises a plurality of sensors, spatially positioned to cover a predefined delineated space containing an inventory of the physical commodities and includes a processor, coupled to receive signals from the plurality of sensors, and a memory that provides storage for sensor data. The processor can execute programming code stored in nontransitory computer readable media that includes program code for calculating a plurality of physical properties of the inventory, program code for determining one or more boundaries of the predefined delineated space, program code for mapping changes in the sensor data to changes in the physical properties of the inventory, and program code for determining a response to changes in an inventory that are based on the changes in the physical properties of the inventory.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator unit and/or a freezer unit comprising a cooling tank, which includes an inner tank having a refrigerated space, and an evaporator. The present invention furthermore relates to a method of installing a refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit in which an evaporator as well as at least one further electrical and/or technical cooling functional component are inserted in an inner tank of the refrigerator unit and/or freezer unit and are fastened to an inner tank wall. Installing the various electrical and technical cooling components after one another individually at different positions of the inner tank of the unit and individually connecting them to the outwardly disposed electronics of the unit is avoided with the present invention. Already installing individual components before the foaming of the unit tank is in particular also avoided, whereby the housing handling is considerably facilitated.

Abstract: A rapid curing adhesive for wood finger jointing and laminating and a method of its use are disclosed. The adhesive consists of two parts that are used as a honeymoon system. One part is used on one side of the joint being formed and the other part on the other side. When the parts are joined under pressure a very rapid reaction occurs resulting in a durable weather resistant joint. Wood finger joints bonded with the adhesive can be handled for further processing within as little time as 15 seconds. The first part of the adhesive is a conventional resorcinol-formaldehyde or phenol-resorcinol formaldehyde resin containing a hardener such as an alkylene group donor. The second part is a similar resin lacking any hardener but containing a modifier which is a heterocyclic oxygen and nitrogen containing compound. Morpholine has proved to serve well as the modifier. The hardener in the first part is used in a sufficient amount to effect a thermosetting cure for the resin used in both parts.

Abstract: A driving mechanism for slat curtains, the slats of which can be displaced in a direction transverse to their longitudinal axis and rotated about the longitudinal axis of the slats, comprising a gearing having one drive end and two power take-offs of different torques for connection to a transport rod (7) effecting the longitudinal displacement of the slats and a tilt rod (6) effecting their rotary movement, the rotary movement of the power take-off coacting with the tilt rod being limited by stops arranged on coaxial parts rotatably seated for being driven by the power take-off associated with the tilt rod, coacting stops being arranged along the same circular paths, is characterized in that the rotatably seated parts take the form of at least two disks (30, 32) of substantially identical diameter arranged in parallel to each other and that the one outermost disk is coupled to the power take-off associated with the tilt rod (6), that the rotary movement of the other outermost disk (32) is limited by a stop w

Abstract: Several static frequency changers and control units for controlling the voltage supply of D.C. motors are combined in one equipment, functions common to all frequency changers being contained in a central unit.

Abstract: A control unit for a six-pulse reversing (two-quadrant) thyristor converter is disclosed. More particularly, a first integrator is provided for generating a sawtooth voltage for controlling the thyristors associated with all negative half-waves of the applied phase voltage, and a second integrator is provided for generating a sawtooth voltage for controlling the thyristors associated with all positive half-waves of the phase voltages. Additionally, an evaluation circuit is provided which is responsive to the zero crossings and polarities of the phase voltages and which controls the integrations of the integrators so that they start and end above and below respective first and second predetermined limits.

Abstract: A control unit for the thyristors of a cycloconverter is disclosed. The thyristors are supplied by a three phase network and the control unit is also responsive to such network. In particular, in the control unit a measuring voltage is derived from a phase voltage, and phase-shift means and smoothing means are provided to shift the phase of the measuring voltage so that its zero crossing is in the vicinity of the zero crossing of a phase voltage. The phase-shifted measuring voltage is then fed to a sawtooth integrator which generates a sawtooth voltage in dependence on the zero crossing of the applied phase-shifted measuring voltage. The sawtooth voltage is then used to generate firing commands for the thyristors.
