  • Publication number: 20240135449
    Abstract: An illustrative computing device may include a processor and a non-transitory memory device for storing a data structure capable of being compressed, where the data structure includes a plurality of data elements and each of the plurality of data elements includes a date field and a quantity field. The computing device may process instructions to arrange the plurality of data elements in a consecutive series in date order based on a value stored in the date field of each data element, determine whether a gap appears in the consecutive series of data elements based on a value stored in the quantity field of each element, remove the determined gaps in each of the data elements, and repeat the determining and removing steps until a predetermined criterion has been reached.

  • Patent number: 11921921
    Abstract: An apparatus to analyze and manipulate biofeedback data is described. The apparatus includes a display that renders a simulated environment. The simulated environment is experienced by a user. The simulated environment is generated by a software program executing on a computer. A biofeedback sensor is coupled to the scalp of the user. The biofeedback sensor measures the electrical activity of the brain of the user when the user experiences the simulated environment. The biofeedback sensor generates electrical signals corresponding to the electrical activity such that the user is able to modify the simulated environment by manipulating the electrical activity in the brain.

  • Publication number: 20130031458
    Abstract: First indicators may be obtained, each first indicator associated with a respective first web page document. A classification type of each first web page document may be determined, based on the respective first indicators and a respective first content of each first web page document. A set of candidate documents that are included in the first web page documents may be selected, based on the determined classification type. For each one of the candidate documents, a group of first attention geography items and a group of first content geography items associated with the each one of the candidate documents may be determined. A determination may be made whether each of the candidate documents includes a first hyperlocal content page document, based on the group of first attention geography items and the group of first content geography items that are associated with the candidate documents.
