  • Patent number: 11921732
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes determining a position for a search query and a position for each audience record from multiple audience records in an embedding space. The method further includes receiving multiple device records, each associated with an audience record. The method further includes determining multiple keywords, each associated with an audience record and determining a position for each keyword in the embedding space. The method further includes calculating a first distance between the position of the search query in the embedding space and the position of each audience record in the embedding space. The method further includes calculating a second distance between the position of the search query in the embedding space and the position of each keyword in the embedding space. The method further includes ranking each audience record based on the first distance and the second distance.

  • Patent number: 8904658
    Abstract: A method for measuring and optionally correcting the angular offset of two shafts which are connected to one another by way of two universal joints and a third shaft calls for the measurement heads of an optoelectronic alignment device to be mounted in the shafts in exactly two measurement positions. These measurement positions are offset by 180° to one another and are located in the plane of the three shafts.

  • Patent number: 4920541
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing various laser wavelengths from the same laser medium by means of resonator mirrors. In accordance with the apparatus any desired, given combination of laser wavelengths can be brought to emission simultaneously or at least in very rapid alternation (switching time 1 ms) with the use of standard resonator mirrors linearly arranged outside of a laser medium, with part of at least one of the resonator mirrors being configured so that it serves as resonator limitation for a certain laser wavelength or wavelength group but another part of the at least one of the resonator mirrors constitutes an intracavity element for the respective other wavelength(s) or wavelength group(s).

  • Patent number: 4013406
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the continuous uniform and penetrative dyeing with high fastnesses of slivers or filaments of acrylonitrile polymers which have been produced by a standard wet-spinning process wherein the slivers or filaments prior to dyeing are subjected to a combined washing, pressing and drying pretreatment.

  • Patent number: 4012895
    Abstract: A false-twisting arrangement for synthetic yarns consisting of a rotating body and yarn guides, distinguished by the fact that the yarn is pressed onto the rotating body by a jet of gas or liquid and is thereby twisted, the yarn being pressed onto the rotating body under a substantially constant force.

  • Patent number: 4009563
    Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for false twisting synthetic filament yarns, which apparatus is in the form of an air rotated nozzle having tangential inlet bores and two central outlet bores. The twisting chamber is set at an angle of 2.degree. to 40.degree. to the draw-off direction of the filament. The special advantage of this apparatus according to the invention is that it ensures smooth movement of the filament outside the twisting chamber.
