Publication number: 20230234559Abstract: A soil measure, such as a soil cone index, and a vehicle index indicating the amount of force the vehicle exerts on the ground as it travels over the ground, are obtained and compared to identify a soil damage score. The soil damage score can be mapped over a field and an agricultural vehicle can be controlled based upon the soil damage score. In another example, a detector detects a fill level of a material storage compartment on an agricultural vehicle. The inflation pressure of tires on the agricultural vehicle is controlled based upon the detected fill level.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Benjamin C.

Publication number: 20220129916Abstract: The effectiveness of advertisements with respect to a group of panelists is measured. Based on the results of such analysis, advertisements and/or variants thereof are selected for presentation to consumers. Effectiveness of advertisements is measured, in one embodiment, by detecting exposure to advertisements, and then monitoring panelist behavior following exposure to an advertisement. In one embodiment, the group of panelists is a representative sample of a larger population, so that observations of panelist behavior can be used as a basis for making decisions regarding presentation of advertisements to a larger audience having characteristics similar to those of the panelists. Once the relative effectiveness for various audiences has been determined, advertisements can be selected for presentation to individual consumers or to groups of consumers, so as to maximize effectiveness. In one embodiment, such analysis and selection is performed substantially in real-time.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2022Publication date: April 28, 2022Inventors: Mark D.

Patent number: 8358966Abstract: User exposure to media items is detected and measured. A mobile client device carried by a user digitally samples the audio environment of the user on a regular basis. These samples are transformed into a stream of data signatures and compared with reference media items to detect user exposure to the reference items. Purchase behavior following exposure to selected media content items can be detected and tracked as well, so as to gauge effectiveness of media items such as advertisements.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2009Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Astro West LLCInventors: Tom Zito, Mark D.

Patent number: 7996610Abstract: In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a method of providing transparent file backup service based on networked computers. The method includes establishing an online redundant array of independent disks (RAID) of a plurality of networked computers maintained by a central service controller on a server. The plurality of networked computers belong to one or more subscribed users. The method further includes storing backup files of each subscribed user on the online RAID. Each subscribed user dedicating at least a portion of storage spaces on corresponding computers to the online RAID for backup files of one or more alternative subscribed users. The central service controller in conjunction of a client software running on each user's computer is configured to coordinate backup file distribution and restoration.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2007Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Inventors: Charles Q.

Publication number: 20090307084Abstract: Exposure to media content across multiple media delivery mechanisms is measured, so as to generate reports of aggregate exposure over multiple delivery mechanisms. The delivery mechanisms can include, for example, television and radio, as well as Internet delivery of web pages or other content viewed on a computer, mobile device, or other electronic device using a browser or other application. Reference signatures are generated for media content items of interest. Monitoring devices and/or software monitor user exposure to media items across multiple delivery mechanisms. Intercepted signatures are generated for the monitored media items. Reports are generated based on comparison of the intercepted signatures with the reference signatures, including analysis of media exposure across multiple delivery mechanisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2009Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicant: INTEGRATED MEDIA MEASUREMENT, INC.Inventors: Brian Monighetti, Tamara Gaffney, Mark D.
