Abstract: A method is disclosed for directing targeted advertisements to potential multicultural consumers, who are a subset of members of an ethnic group associated with a homeland country and a native language. Information data associated with the members of the ethnic group is retrieved, which includes an age, a household size, a household income, and a number of visits to the homeland country for each of the members. A culture cycle model for the ethnic group representing a plurality of life stages of the members is generated, and then at least one of the life stages to which the potential consumers belong is identified. Based on that identified life stage, characteristics of the advertisements to be directed to the potential consumers are determined, including a language of the advertisements, and then the advertisements are directed to the potential consumers.

Abstract: A gaming apparatus that can be used to play poker card and Hwatu card games includes a deck of cards that has at least 52 cards, in which each card has standard markings denoting one of 13 ranks and one of 4 suits in a standard deck of cards, and has at least one specialty symbol denoting at least one of 5 types of a corresponding card in a Hwatu deck of cards and is positioned near the standard markings. Additionally, a set of 4 cards of one of the 13 ranks in the standard deck corresponds to a set of 4 matching cards for one of 12 months in the Hwatu deck. Further, 4 cards of one of the 13 ranks, such as the rank of Kings, in the standard deck corresponds to additional Double Junk type of cards for use in Hwatu card games.

Abstract: A par 4 golf system applied to golf links having a par 3 golf course, includes: a green configured to play golf on a golf course; and a screen tee box disposed on one side of the green, and provided in every hole for allowing golfers to perform tee off with a wood driver. The screen tee box is configured to determine a desired driver distance with a red tee, a white tee or a blue tee for women, beginners or a single golfer.

Abstract: An alert optimizer subsystem for a HIT system modifies, reconciles, and/or prioritizes candidate clinical alerts. The optimized alerts may be filtered, prioritized, enriched, and/or formatted so that the alerts are more relevant and/or more actionable for a system user.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a scheme for determining the order of read threshold voltages used in a read error recovery operation for a memory system. A controller performs one or more read operations on a memory device using one or more read voltages among a plurality of read voltages in a set order. The controller detects a successful read operation among the one or more read operations. The controller determines one or more credits for the one or more read voltages, respectively, in response to the detected successful read operation. The controller updates the set order based on the determined credits.

Abstract: A method for providing a telematics service by using a virtual vehicle is provided. The method includes steps of: (a) a telematics server, if a request for registering the vehicle is acquired from a third-party system linked with the telematics service, creating a vehicle ID, and providing a telematics API to the third-party system; (b) the telematics server, if a request is received from the third-party system, creating a token ID corresponding to the system by referring to information on the system and the vehicle ID, and then transmitting it to the system; and (c) the telematics server, if a telematics service request using the token ID is transmitted from the system through the telematics API, confirming the vehicle ID corresponding to the token ID, simulating the virtual vehicle in response to the service request, and transmitting the simulation result to the third-party system.
