Abstract: A system and method generation of adjustable automated forecasts for a promotion. The method includes: determining, using a machine learning model, a set of forecasts each based on different parameters; determining at least one set of optimized parameters that maximize an outcome measure of the forecast for the promotion; generating a graphical representation of the forecast; receiving an adjustment to at least one parameter from a user; determining an adjusted outcome measure of the forecast for the promotion by applying the adjustment to the machine learning model; generating an adjusted graphical representation of the forecast; and displaying the adjusted graphical representation to the user.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating a substrate with an ion beam comprising a closed ousing which defines a substantially evacuatable chamber, a drum having a circumferential portion with an annular inside surface rotatably mounted in the chamber, drive means connected to the drum for rotating it at a selected speed to establish a centrifugal force toward the annular inside surface of the drum and ion beam generating means associated with the housing for directing an ion beam into the chamber and toward the annular inside surface. A substrate is supportable on the inside surface of the drum and conforms with the surface so as to be closely associated therewith under the influence of the centrifugal force. This association establishes a thermally conductive relationship between the substrate and the circumferential portion so that heat generated in the substrate due to the ion beam can be dissipated through the circumferential portion of the drum.
