  • Patent number: 9600831
    Abstract: A system for user association attribution may include one or more processors and memory. The one or more processors may receive information pertaining to relationship events that each correspond to a participant and one of several entities in a social network, allocate, for each relationship event, attribution values to touchpoints accessed by the corresponding entity prior to the relationship event. The processors may further determine a weight for each of the attribution values allocated to each of the touchpoints, where the weight for each of the attribution values is based at least in part on each of the relationship events for which each of the attribution values was allocated, generate an aggregate attribution value for each of the touchpoints based at least in part on the weighted attribution values allocated to each of the touchpoints, and provide, to the participant, each aggregate attribution value generated for each of the touchpoints.

  • Patent number: 6333958
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for improving the precision of at least one of neutron coincidence counting and neutron multiplicity counting. The method includes the steps of: (1) sampling the real and accidental coincident pulses at the incoming pulse rate; and (b) sampling the accidental coincidences at a clock rate, wherein the clock rate is much faster than the pulse rate. The clock rate is faster than the pulse rate by a factor of 5 to 10 (in the preferred embodiment, approximately 4 MHz).

  • Patent number: 6064302
    Abstract: A light activated back-up alarm is provided for use with a vehicle having at least one white back-up light. It includes an optical sensor for attachment to the outside lens of the vehicle back-up light and an alarm circuit and battery encased within an alarm housing. The optical sensor is adhesively attached to the light and the alarm housing adhesively attached to some other portion of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4617466
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for the direct, nondestructive evaluation of the .sup.235 U nuclide content of samples containing UF.sub.6, UF.sub.4, or UO.sub.2 utilizing the passive neutron self-interrogation of the sample resulting from the intrinsic production of neutrons therein. The ratio of the emitted neutron coincidence count rate to the total emitted neutron count rate is determined and yields a measure of the bulk fissile mass. The accuracy of the method is 6.8% (1.sigma.) for cylinders containing UF.sub.6 with enrichments ranging from 6% to 98% with measurement times varying from 3-6 min. The samples contained from below 1 kg to greater than 16 kg. Since the subject invention relies on fast neutron self-interrogation, complete sampling of the UF.sub.6 takes place, reducing difficulties arising from inhomogeneity of the sample which adversely affects other assay procedures.
