Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a thermal image detector to determine a heat blob count based on a frame of thermal image data, the frame of thermal image data captured in the media environment, a comparator to compare the heat blob count to a prompted people count, the prompted people count based on one or more responses to a prompting message, and when the heat blob count and the prompted people count match, cause a timer that is to trigger generation of the prompting message to be reset.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a controller to cause a people meter to emit a prompt for input of audience identification information at a first time and determine a first audience count based on the input, an audio detector to determine a second audience count based on signatures generated from audio data captured in the media environment, and a comparator to cause the people meter to not emit the prompt for at least a first time period after the first time when the first audience count is equal to the second audience count.

Abstract: Methods for testing an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). A set of representations is created that overlays power density information and clock gate physical locations of a set of clock gates in a critical sub-chip of the ASIC for test mode power analysis. The set of representations are further grouped in the sub-chip into various groups based on overlapping of the set of representations. Then, a set of test control signals is generated corresponding to each of the set of clock gates during at-speed test mode of operation such that each clock gate with overlapping representations receive different test control signals. Further, patterns are generated using a virtual constraint function to selectively enable the set of test control signals such that the set of test control signals are not activated simultaneously.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to analyze performance of wearable metering devices. An example apparatus includes a data collector to collect diagnostic data via a network from a wearable metering device, the diagnostic data including time varying device data characterizing an operational status of a component of the wearable metering device, the diagnostic data defined by a software development kit; a machine learning engine to process the diagnostic data to predict whether the wearable metering device is associated with a failure mode; and an alert generator to, in response to the machine learning engine predicting the wearable metering device is associated with the failure mode, the failure mode associated with the operational status of the component, transmit an alert to a wearable metering device management agent.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to facilitate device identification. An example apparatus includes a communications analyzer to, responsive to identifying a network address of a media device compare a hardware address associated with the network address of the media device to a list of known hardware addresses, and when the list does not include the hardware address, store the hardware address in a data store, a communications transmitter to transmit the hardware address to a network activity monitoring system, the network activity monitoring system to communicate with a device identifying entity to obtain identifying data of the device based on the hardware address, and a communications data storer to, responsive to obtaining the identifying data from the network activity monitoring system, store the identifying data in a data store.
