  • Patent number: 11038970
    Abstract: Mobile usage data representing the access of one or more resources on a network by mobile devices is accessed. The mobile usage data includes information received from mobile devices as a result of beacon instructions included with the one or more resources. A first set of data representing information about accesses to the one or more resources by mobile devices with persistent beacon cookies is determined. A second set of data representing information about accesses to the one or more resources by mobile devices with non-persistent beacon cookies is determined. One or more adjustment factors are determined based on the first set of data. A count of unique visitors accessing the one or more resources from the mobile devices is determined based on a count of accesses by the mobile devices with persistent beacon cookies and a count of accesses by the mobile devices with non-persistent beacon cookies adjusted by the one or more adjustment factors.

  • Patent number: 10489801
    Abstract: Usage data representing the access of a network entity by a plurality of client devices each associated with one or more Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of a plurality of IP addresses is initially accessed. Then a set of static IP addresses of the plurality of IP addresses is determined based on the usage data. A first count of static IP addresses of the set of static IP addresses that are all associated with mobile traffic or that are all associated with non-mobile traffic is determined. A second count of static IP addresses of the set of static IP addresses that are associated with the mobile traffic and the non-mobile traffic is also determined. An overlap factor is determined based on a ratio between the first count of static IP addresses and the second count of static IP addresses. Based on the overlap factor, a total count of unique static IP addresses via which the network entity was accessed is finally determined.

  • Patent number: 10032179
    Abstract: Usage data representing the access of a set of resources on a network is accessed. The usage data is based at least in part on information received from client systems sent as a result of beacon instructions included with the set of resources. First and second sets of usage data representing access by client systems classified as a first type and a second type, respectively, are determined based on the accessed usage data. Counts of unique visitors accessing the network resources from each of the first and second types of client systems, based on the first and sets of usage data, respectively, are each determined. A total count of unique visitors accessing the network resources from the first and second types of client systems is determined based on data representing the usage overlap of devices of the first type with devices of the second type.

  • Publication number: 20070179015
    Abstract: A power system has a prime mover. The power system may also include a multiple-ratio transmission having a rotary input member and a rotary output member. Additionally, the power system may include a coupler connected between the prime mover and the rotary input member of the multiple-ratio transmission. The power system may also include an electric machine. Additionally, the power system may include power-system controls operable to automatically control whether the rotary input member of the multiple-ratio transmission is drivingly connected to the prime mover, including automatically controlling whether the coupler has a power-transmitting operating state. The power-system controls may also be configured to operate the electric machine to reduce the speed of the prime mover in concert with an upshift of the multiple-ratio transmission.

  • Publication number: 20060118157
    Abstract: A method is provided for use in a thermoelectric generator control system including a thermoelectric generator, a DC-DC converter, and a controller. The method may include monitoring a voltage output of the thermoelectric generator and determining a voltage change on the voltage output. The method may also include calculating an adjustment for the DC-DC converter in response to the voltage change on the voltage output such that an output voltage from the DC-DC converter remains at a predetermined voltage level. Further, the method may include applying the adjustment to the DC-DC converter.

  • Publication number: 20050134367
    Abstract: A method of ground level compensation includes measuring a voltage of at least one signal with respect to a primary ground potential and measuring, with respect to the primary ground potential, a voltage level associated with a secondary ground potential. A difference between the voltage level associated with the secondary ground potential and an expected value is calculated. The measured voltage of the at least one signal is adjusted by an amount corresponding to the calculated difference.

  • Publication number: 20050134284
    Abstract: A method is provided for testing multiple elements of a work machine, including a control system, a component, a sub-component that is influenced by operations of the component, and a sensor that monitors a characteristic of the sub-component. In one embodiment, the method is performed by the control system and includes sending a command to the component to adjust a first parameter associated with an operation of the component. Also, the method includes detecting a sensor signal from the sensor reflecting a second parameter associated with a characteristic of the sub-component and determining whether the second parameter is acceptable based on the command. The control system may diagnose at least one of the elements of the work machine when the second parameter of the sub-component is not acceptable.

  • Publication number: 20050135034
    Abstract: A resettable circuit breaker includes a current monitoring and interrupting circuit including an electrically conductive line carrying a current. A sensor outputs a voltage level indicative of the magnitude of the current. A comparator compares the voltage level to a reference potential and generates a circuit indicator signal. A logic-based current interrupter controls the current in the line in response to the circuit indicator signal.

  • Patent number: 4780989
    Abstract: An integrated hydroponic system including subsystems for support and movement of plants, controlling the atmosphere around the plants and nutrient distribution. The support and movement subsystem features diverging trough-in-trough construction where the interior trough is formed by discrete autoclavable plastic troughs which are slidably removable for sanitation purposes from supporting exterior troughs which in turn support nutrient distribution tubing and a rotatable variable pitch drive screw for moving individual plant holders along the troughs in graduated increments. The atmospheric control system features supply and exhaust ducts under the troughs which establish a blanket of air in the zone proximate to the trough where the temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide concentration are regulated. The nutrient distribution system involves recycling the thermally and component regulated dilute nutrient fluids from a reservoir to the plants and back into the reservoir.
