Patent number: 11038970Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Comscore, Inc.Inventors: Frank Eugene Pecjak, Brian Pugh, Ramzi Joseph Nasr, Balakrishnan Vinayak Nair, Kris Johnson

Patent number: 10489801Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Comscore, Inc.Inventors: Frank Eugene Pecjak, Brian Pugh, Ramzi Joseph Nasr, Balakrishnan Vinayak Nair, Kris Johnson

Patent number: 4780989Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1986Date of Patent: November 1, 1988Assignee: Mears Structures, Inc.Inventors: Stowell W.
