Abstract: Methods and apparatus to estimate audience sizes using deduplication based on binomial sketch data are disclosed. An apparatus to estimate an audience size for media based on binomial sketch data includes a coefficient analyzer to determine coefficient values of a polynomial based on variances, a covariance, and cardinalities corresponding to first binomial sketch data from a first database and second binomial sketch data from a second database. The apparatus also includes an overlap analyzer to determine a real root of the polynomial. The real root corresponds to an estimate of an overlap between the first binomial sketch data and the second binomial sketch data. The apparatus further includes a report generator to estimate the audience size based on the estimate of the overlap and the cardinalities of the first and second binomial sketch data.

Abstract: The present invention provides an antenna with an integral electrical connection to a printed circuit board. The electrical connection is accomplished by providing a connection beam from a conductive layer to the circuit board. The connection beam is provided with a channel extending through the connection beam, such as a channel through the geometric center of the beam, and the channel is plated. The connection beam terminates with a contact point. The beam is deflectable to provide contact force.
