Patent number: 9262509Abstract: A system and method for performing classification using semantic distance measurements. Items of electronic content accessed by individuals over a global communications network are identified. A set of content that includes the plurality of identified items of electronic content are stored. The set of content is normalized. Each of the keywords contained the set of content is identified and a semantic distance between each of the identified keywords is measured.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2009Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Collective, Inc.Inventors: Paul Harrison, James Oliphant, Hal Fulton, Armin Roehrl

Patent number: 8762382Abstract: A content classification system, method and computer product is presented. In connection with the invention, a data structure is created by identifying a plurality of words and mapping each word to one or more categories. The data structure is indexed. An item of content is identified and classified based on the data structure. The classification includes identifying all one—or more—word combinations in the item of content; for each word of at least a pre-determined number of characters in length in each of the word combinations, identifying each of the categories to which it is mapped; and determining a weight for each of the words based on an inverse proportion to the number of categories to which it is mapped.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2009Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Collective, Inc.Inventors: Paul Harrison, James Oliphant, Hal Fulton, Armin Roehrl, Brenden Grace

Patent number: 8326688Abstract: A plurality of pages viewed by a communications network user (e.g., an Internet user) are classified as pertaining to one of a plurality of topics. A count of each of the pages viewed by the communications network user for each of the topics is tracked, as is a recency with which each of the pages viewed by the communications network user was viewed for each of the topics. The communications network user is characterized as belonging to one or more behavioral segments based on the count and the recency. Advertisements are served to the communications network user based on at least advertising targeting parameters and the characterization.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2010Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Collective, Inc.Inventors: Paul Harrison, James Oliphant, Hal Fulton, Armin Roehrl, Brenden Grace

Patent number: 7240464Abstract: A concrete pole includes an attachment mechanism which provides a structurally sound means of attaching to the pole and permits the use of short, inexpensive bolts. The attachment mechanism includes reinforcing bars, a base plate, an internally threaded fastener insert fixed to the base plate, which provides a path from the base plate, which is embedded in the concrete pole, to the finished outside surface of the pole. One embodiment includes a pipe connecting opposing fastener inserts for added strength.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2002Date of Patent: July 10, 2007Assignee: Newmark International, Inc.Inventors: Wesley James Oliphant, Robert Charles Wingard

Patent number: 7159370Abstract: This invention is a modular pole assembly comprised of corner pieces and panel members. Panel members are slidably engaged to the corner pieces and are retained in a direction normal to the engagement direction by a track in each slot that nests within a groove in each panel member. Comer pieces may include multiple slots along each side, allowing for multiple layers of panel members along each side, thereby increasing strength and allowing an insulative and structural fill material to be added between panel member layers. The height of the modular pole may be increased by inserting splicing posts between consecutive, adjacent corner members and inserting splicing pieces between co-planar adjacent panel members. The modular nature of the pole assembly provides for simple packaging and shipment of the various components and easy assembly at or near the installation location.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2004Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: ReliaPOLE Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Zachary James Oliphant, Garett William Oliphant

Publication number: 20050258357Abstract: A system and method are provided of extracting spectra from data produced by temporally indexed spectral scans from a spectrometer and spectrometer. The method includes the operation of receiving a data matrix from the spectrometer. The noise can then be removed from the data matrix. A further operation is identifying spectra of interest in the data matrix based on information content. In addition, a reduction transformation can be applied to the data matrix based upon the spectra of interest based upon the denizen transformation for the purpose of extracting the spectra of interest from the data matrix.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2005Publication date: November 24, 2005Inventors: James Oliphant, H. Tolley, Alan Rockwood, Edgar Lee, Milton Lee
