Abstract: A method for testing advertising, said method comprising the steps of: recruiting prospective survey respondents within a single online platform and collecting inputs from the respondents representing a prospective advertising audience regarding their advertising creative variant preferences and desirability as customers, combining the individual inputs from the survey respondents to compute at least one score for each pairing of audience and creative; and recommending actions based on the computed score, wherein the recommended actions include at least one of activating pairings with high preference scores and density of desirable customers; suppressing pairings with low preference scores or low density of desirable customers; or conducting another test after changing at least one of the audience or advertising creative variants, wherein the recommended actions are within the single on-line platform.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically inserting content into webpages. A computing device can receive an information resource. The computing device can receive a content item for insertion at one of the candidate content insertion locations of the information resource. The computing device can identify candidate content insertion locations for insertion of the content item based on locations of one or more elements on the information resource. The computing device can monitor for a scroll event on the information resource. The computing device can identify a portion of the information resource to be displayed within the viewport of the application subsequent to processing the event. The computing device can determine that one of the candidate insertion locations is within or below the viewport. The computing device can set a content slot at the determined content insertion location. The computing device can insert, at the content slot, the content item.

Abstract: According to various aspects of the present invention, a user interface capable of effectively manipulating high volumes of data is provided. The system and/or user interface is specially configured to aggregate large data volumes and translate the large data volumes into summary information and incorporate navigable categorizations that enable dynamic selection and visualization of portions of the large data volumes. Such interfaces may be particularly useful for managing large amounts of information, such as ad placement and performance information that is generated within an advertising network associated with ad campaigns. Moreover the integration of such summary menus in detailed visualizations improves information access, limits rendering operations by the system, and enables more efficient retrieval and visualization of information. In some examples, the contextual views limit errors in data entry, for example, by providing contextual visualization for subsequent functions.

Abstract: A system for enrollment processing optimization for controlling batch job processing traffic transmitted to a mainframe computer includes an enrollment data input operations system operatively coupled to the mainframe computer and configured to provide a universal front end for data entry of enrollment information. Enrollment records based on the enrollment information is then created. A database system stores the enrollment records, and a workflow application module operatively coupled to the database system is configured to manage processing of the enrollment records and manage transmission of the enrollment records to the mainframe computer for batch processing. A batch throttling control module operatively coupled to the workflow application module and to the mainframe computer controls the rate and the number of enrollment records transmitted by the workflow application module to the mainframe computer for batch processing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calculating a modification to the predetermined amount of torque needed to provide an urge to move sensation for a vehicle, the modification to take account of the weight at which and gradient on which the vehicle is operating and then commanding the engine to generate said modified torque and to transmit the modified urge torque to a clutch device to provide the urge to move according to the current operating conditions.

Abstract: An automated clutch system for transferring torque from an engine to a change gear transmission is connected to a processing unit which uses various input parameters to calculate the grade on which the vehicle is operating and its current weight to determine an appropriate start gear to minimise clutch slip when the vehicle is launched from rest.

Abstract: When a vehicle is operating in launch or manoeuvring modes, the vehicle can be controlled by operation of the brake alone; the engagement of the friction clutch is in inverse proportion to the amount of braking effort demanded by the operator.

Upon completion of an arming sequence, the transducer module generates an electromagnetic field which is picked up by a coil in the ARCH module and used to power the ARCH module and provide a detonation current for the detonator. The transducer module or at least a coil thereof which produces the electromagnetic field is supported on or in a stemming bar which in turn acts as a core of an electromagnet confining the magnetic flux for pick up by the ARCH module.
